This stuff has turned me into a coffee addict!August 18, 2010 J. Dove(St.. Louis MO USA) I'm no huge coffee connoisseur, but this stuff is great. Full flavor, never burnt tasting, has a chocolaty flavor, and the foam is great. The Senseo pods are a breeze to use. It's much faster to make a cup than with the Krups machine, tastes better, and it's more environmentally friendly since they don't use a plastic container. I suspect the dark roast is fresher than some of the other blends since it's a bit cheaper and they likely sell a ton of it, so it rotates more quickly from production to consumption.
My only minor complaint is it could be a bit hotter, and that's to do with the machine itself. Unless you heat up the mug, by the time your java is ready it's barely hot enough, but acceptable if you drink it right away.
I've tried all the various combinations of one pod, two pods, the right and the left button. I always use the single cup (left) button and one pod for the best taste. You need to use two pods to make a full mug, but it's no big deal, so just run the process twice. Takes less than a minute from switch-on to quaff-down. The price for a six-pack of dark roast from Amazon is great and it just scrapes over the free shipping minimum. Order a couple or weeks in advance before you run out. Having a cup now as I write this...yum.
great coffeeJuly 30, 2010 Sherry L. Benson(Fort Lauderdale, FL) I love this coffee and think it is the best!! Amazon offers the best deals on it!!
Wouldnt start the day any other way...July 26, 2010 Kiwi Liv(Bay Area, CA) I LOVE this coffee! I was skeptical how good the coffee could really be coming from a pod, but I am a huge fan, and anyone who tastes it is converted (I should stock up on machines and just sell them as I go haha). Also the decaf pods are really great too (as far as decaf coffee goes).
I have tried most of the senseo range, but I always come back to the dark roast. Thumbs up from me!
Very Good CoffeeJuly 22, 2010 S. Williams(Virginia) Caveat, these bags work in the Senseo coffee machine. The machine makes 1/2 cup and 1 cup coffee. The coffee has been very good. I broke a $3 a morning habit at Starbucks using this coffee. If you buy in bulk, it is between 25 cents and 50 cents a pod, and two pods are used to make a cup for between 50 cents to a dollar a cup.
Taste greatJuly 13, 2010 Lentera(los angeles, ca) Since I got Senseo coffee machine, I only drink Senseo. I choose dark roast, because I make 8 oz/pod and it still taste great.
