My wife got a Senseo free from another survey thinger a few months ago and she absolutely -loves- it. I don't drink coffee, but for me its convenient on an occasional cool morning to heat up water for my hot cocoa, so I don't have to power up the gas stove, saves a few btus that were otherwise going to be consumed by the pilot light, so what the hey, eh?

The machine came with its own pods to begin with, she's been (ok, she doesn't grocery shop much I -work- in a grocery store so I've been the one doing the purchasing) using pods from other manufacturers (Maxwell House, Javana One) and not saying that there's any much difference in the quality of the coffee in the pods. She even went so far as to get a 'perma-pod' contraption at Wally World that simulates a pod with regular ground coffee, though she said it doesn't work the same as a real pod, there's something missing in the transference and on top of that (omg) there's no foam. Apparently that makes a difference *shrug*.
