Senseo Douwe Egberts Dark Roast Coffee Pods, 18-Count 4.41-Ounce Packages (Pack of 4)

My wife and I each have one cup of coffee each morning before we leave for work. We've had a Senseo maker now for about 4 years. We have found that the Dark Roast coffee makes a very rich, flavorful cup of coffee. Much better than any drip maker. We both use two pods and make a double cup for both of us. It's a great help to getting us going in the morning. It isn't cheap but we feel it's worth it. We buy the coffee from Amazon or Target (when they have any).

I love this coffee and dread the day they quit making the pods for my coffee pot.

One downside of a Senseo machine, is that unless you want an espresso size cup of coffee, you need to make 2 cups, which means you need two pods, at around 5.69 and bag for 18 pods, it can get pricey. The dark roast solves the problem. You put one in, and you make two cups! Before I found the Senseo, I was an average folgers, yuban mild coffee drinking type. I have the value pack on amazon grocery as a subscription...works out great!!

We have the Senseo Coffee maker at home and the office....have given several as gifts. We never use our others coffee makers anymore, and I am glad that I did not purchase the $2,500 Jura. The coffee is excellent, and we like to make latte's by heating the cream in the microwave then adding the coffee from the machine. It takes 1 minute to do it all. No mess, no fuss. My one complaint is that the space beneath the spout is not high enough for a tall mug. Also, you can buy the coffee at Target for $3.50 - $4.00/bag - I wish the price on Amazon was less expensive as I would then definitely buy it through them.

The Senseo coffee system is an excellent way to brew a good cup of single serve coffee quickly. It takes about 30 seconds so you can easily make another cup. I also like the variety of pods they offer. My favorite is the Kenya blend. The Dark Roast is good when I want a more robust flavor. What I don't like about the Senseo pods is that the individual pods are not labeled with the name of the blend. I would like to put all of my different senseo pods into the same airtight jar for display but I can't do this because I would not know which pod was which blend--they all look the same. So in order to know which pod is which blend, I must keep all the pods in their original packages and since the packages do not seal once opened, the pods can go stale. I suppose I could keep all my opened Senseo packages in a large tupperware container but that is such a hassle and so unattractive.
