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

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

I love Senseo coffee! It was great fun trying the four different flavours and finding my favorites. I've told my Niece that this is what I want for Xmas (another order of the variety packs). She's in college and really can't afford alot of $ for Xmas presents, so this makes a perfect gift! I love this coffee!

The Senseo coffee system delivers a good cup of coffee with voluptuous crema every time. The flavors are fresh and, though I often use the refillable pods to use my own coffee blends, this variety pack is my first choice for my first cup on those early mornings. If I buy it on subscription, it has to be good.
I'd rate the product a fifth star, but the price precludes that, Still, it's a better investment than Star****s, that national chain that we all know and love. This is the next best thing to having someone open up a Star****s in your living room.
I've given these pods and the Senseo maker as gifts, and the recipients are just as enthusiastic as I. Emceemk says check it out.
