Senseo coffee pods

Post by Dadaist » 03 Jan 2006, 14:52

Has anyone else got a Senseo coffee pod machine? My sister (thanks sis!) very kindly got me one for my Chrimbo, and it's absolutely splendid.

I know the pods are just coffee in a tea bag, but the machine seems to put the water through like in the machines you get in cafes which sell you expensive takeaway coffee - so even if they are 20p each, I can see big savings on the horizon.

I'll have to get one of those cup-thermos-things though to take my brew out and about, like on a demo or something.

But has anyone else got one of these machines? If so, where do you get your pods?

I've been wondering about how good these coffee machines are Dada. The filter machine I currently use is really rubbish, the coffee is never strong enough or hot enough :(

Might just go and have a look at how much they are etc

Interested to hear where to buy the refills too

They are wonderfully good. You're more than welcome to Dada Towers to taste for yourself.

There are several types of pod - different sizes for different machines - but the machines come with adaptors (I think) :

There are websites which will sell you the pods too, but I've not ordered any yet, just bought some from the shops.

I might get some from this site :

On consulting the chart, I see that your Morphy Richards 47505 does take coffee pods, 44mm size, although you would require an SDM adaptor :
