Strengths: Stylish, Make great coffee fast

Weaknesses: Pod is expensive

Summary: Unlike normal coffee makers, the Senseo coffee maker use steam instead of water to brew coffee. Therefore it can make great coffee in just a few seconds and avoid the bitter taste that comes with most water brew coffee. Although the pod is from senseo is expensive, I managed to use normal coffee filter to make my own "pod" for it. It does require several tests to get the best result with the home made pod. Then you can try new flavors and I even brew tea with it.

Summary: Unlike normal coffee makers, the Senseo coffee maker use steam instead of water to brew coffee. Therefore, it can make great coffee in a few seconds and avoid the bitter taste that comes with those water brew coffee makers. Although the Senseo pod is expensive, I managed to make my own "Pod" by using the coffee filter and find ground coffee. It did require several tests to get the optimal volume. And you can test your own flavor as well. I even use it for tea and was pretty good.

Strengths: easy to use, easy to clean. makes great coffee

Weaknesses: pod is expensive; can't use big mug

Summary: Had a few coffee maker before this one, some of them make loud noise, some doesn't boil the water, and some just make a big mess to clean up. Now I begin to enjoy coffee quite easily in my little room, no need to worry about the cleaning, and the most important, it makes great coffee!Yes the water tank is small but keep in mind that this is that kind of "personal" coffee maker so don't expect too much on it if you are heavy coffee-drinker... for me, one cup a day is already enough... besides it looks pretty cute... love it...
