If you really enjoy drinking fresh coffee, every time, you may have considered buying a single-serve brewer. They do make sense. With this relatively new appliance, every time you make a cup of coffee you are getting a fresh, just-brewed cup, as opposed to a regular brewer that makes a pot or partial pot at a time and just sits there, festering, until you or the next person empties the container.
There are several choices out there so how can you find the one that best suits your needs, wants and desires?
Senseo (Say it slow…ly ) is one. The Senseo Supreme single serve coffee maker came on the market in Holland, 2001, and was introduced in the U.S. in 2004. Senseo was the first to offer a widely available, in-home single serve coffee appliance in the US.
It still is the single-serve coffee brewer of choice if you want to be able to easily find the coffee pods, as they are called—the little pouches filled with intoxicating ground coffee. You can also have them sent to you and the price for a subscription is less than for some other single-serve coffees.
Senseo is different from the other single-serve coffee makers in that it uses these pods--little compact (and non-messy) filter pouches that hold the coffee. Only Senseo offers coffee blends selected and roasted by Sara Lee’s Douwe Egberts brand, one of Europe’s premiere coffee brands for more than 250 years.
The elements of a perfect cup of coffee are all controlled within the Senseo system-- Water Temperature, Coffee dose, Amount of Water per coffee dosage, Optimal coffee extraction (primary extracts only) the time water is in contact with coffee grounds and Coffee grind size for optimal extraction.
The pod selections include the Sumatra Blend, an intense premium blend of Arabica beans selected from the mountainous regions of Sumatra; Brazil Blend, a subtle taste and soft finish provided by beans from Sul de Minas in Brazil, also known as “the coffee mecca”; Kenya Blend, composed primarily of slightly sweet beans with a soft finish and hints of fruit from the hills of Kenya; Espresso, a smooth and strong coffee with a fine crema layer; Cappuccino--a delicious cappuccino with a rich, creamy, frothy layer at home..to name just a few varieties.
There are two festive offerings for the holidays, in conjunction with Godiva: Godiva Chocolate Crème, a decadent pairing of rich Godiva chocolate with bold coffee taste, and Godiva Crème Brulee, a delicious marriage of sweet caramel and vanilla with the smooth taste of fine coffee. Both of these lavish coffees are perfectly delightful and add an exotic touch to the day.
The Senseo brewer has a slimmer, sleeker profile than some of the other single-serve brewers. And it is easier to clean, as well. In brief, it the single-serve coffee brewer of choice for the serious coffee drinker.

Have a little more optimism than Prufrock. Don’t measure out your life in coffee spoons. Measure out your days with Senseo pods and Senseo delicious coffees.
