Senseo Douwe Egberts Coffee Pods, Variety Pack, 16-Count Packages (Pack of 4)

My husband and I have Douwe Egberts coffee pods from our Senseo machine everyday and love it. The pods are easy to use and always taste very fresh, and I like the slight foamy layer on the top of the coffee.

Each blend in this variety pack is very good on the flavor. Since we drink it everyday, its convenient that four flavors are offered in this case to keep things interesting. I find that each of the four flavors are smooth and medium in intensity, so if you like the other roasts out there, I think you will like all of these; the differences are very subtle. None are too harsh or bitter. If I had to choose, I think I like the Sumatra the best. the only drawback is that you get fewer pods for the same money than the regular roast 4-packs, but I dont really mind.

Columbian coffee is my favorite, and these pods used in the Senseo coffee pot produce a cup full of flavor. I highly recommend both the pods and the system.

I wasted a lot of time and money, and created numerous messes, using the Folgers pods from my local grocery store. They just don't fit quite right, and when I'd use two at a time, the lid would pop open 90% of the time during the brewing process and coffee and water went everywhere. I bought these and have not have a problem since. I haven't tried them all yet, but the variety appears outstanding and the packaging is quite nice. If you buy these over your local store brand, you won't look back.

I'd think that, for the price, Senseo Douwe Egberts Coffee would offer a great coffee sipping experience. That was not the case, in my non-expert opinion. The "variety pack" comes with four different blends. The "Java blend" tastes OK. The "Colombian blend" tastes like a regular French-roast type of coffee: slightly bitter and burnt. The "Brazilian blend" is the smoothest of the three. I haven't tried the "Kenyan blend" yet. I was rather disappointed with the taste of these coffees, as I am used to buy whole bean coffee from different regions. Also, why market a "blend"? If Colombian, Brazilian or Kenyan coffee is supposed to be good, why blend it with an undisclosed variety? The good thing about these coffee pods is the Senseo method itself, which produce individual portions of a coffee that in intensity feels like something between a regular and a spresso.

These are a staple in my house. Great to have them shipped in rather than trying to find them in the store. They are so popular, sometimes you can't find them in the market. The shipping has been delayed in a couple instances for the same reason, but I know it will come as soon as it is available. It's nice to not have to go hunting and be disappointed.

It's quite satisfying, even day after day as my basic cup of jo.

Enjoy
