Senseo Coffee Pods: Starbucks Espresso Pods 24-pc. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First, let me say that I am a diehard Starbucks fan. I like serious, full bodied, rich coffee. These pods deliver the best home-brewed coffee I have ever had. It is smooth and flavorful without a bitter aftertaste. I use a Bunn My Cafe Sytem which just happens to work fine as it is designed to work with a wide range of pods and pod sizes.

Having said that, BEFORE I bought the machine or the pods, I did some research. All pods are not created equal. Espresso pods or ESE pods are designed for espresso machines, not single cup brewing machines. Espresso machines are more complicated than coffee machines and require pods made specifically to meet the standards necessary for making a good cup of espresso. They are packed tighter and are more compact than regular coffee pods for a reason.

However, with some experimentation, you may be able to find a single cup machine which will make a good cup of coffee with espresso pods. You cannot, however, slam a product for not being compatible with a machine it was never meant to be used with in the first place. Now if you have invested several hundred to thousands of dollars in an espresso machine, educated yourself on the art of espresso making, and still have a problem with the Starbucks espresso pods, then by all means slam them to your heart's content. In the meantime, it is not fair for others who may read these reviews to think that the product is inferior, when the problem stems from operator error.
