For our new apartment we were looking for a suitable coffee machine. You should handily, "foolproof" and be inexpensive. Choosing a Senseo arose relatively quickly: less waste per cup, giving proportionate to equivalent devices. Also you get through the variety of providers a wide range of coffees, thereby guaranteeing a coffee place by trial and error, which tastes a. First, we tended to the Senseo, which can also process milk. The fact, however, that one must sympathize for each cup of coffee milk - ie remove container, milk pour, use containers - and actually heated power tools only with milk and a little foaming, had us to the effort and the price difference to conventional Senseo machines large. (The price jump to professional coffee machines we did not dare.) Ultimately, the choice fell on this Senseo. You can take the extra display with a pad between 6 coffee strengths (2 pads: 12 Strengths) choose. Since we prefer a relatively mild coffee, we use a cup for a pad, put the machine on "two beams" and press the button for "two cups". The amount of coffee obtained is ideal, and the previously used long-standing coffee-cup becomes fully. So you can over too small an amount of coffee does not complain. The additional cost to the Senseo machine without display is justified by the added comfort in any case. So quick and easy morning to hold in his hand a cup of coffee is great !!
