Philips Senseo HD 7810

Philips actively promotes single-use plastics – Philips Senseo coffee maker is a basic coffee machine, with a few difficult to clean areas. My main issue is that it's wasteful, in that all the flavors such as Café Latte, Café Latte Vanilla, Milka, Cappuccino, Latte Machiato Caramel, Cappuccino Choco... Come served in big wads of plastic mixed with film and filter... non-recyclable single use… Read more

plastic. Not a small amount either, but a big wad of plastic goes in the bin for each and every flavored coffee. They rebranded coffee pods as "pads" which now sounds like you're sipping flavor from a sanitary towel.

Great, no mess coffee – I first tried this coffee machine while on holiday in the Netherlands, when I came back to Australia I bought a philips senseo from Ebay and after a good 5 years is still going strong. Coffee machine is very easy to operate and using pads you have the option of making 1 or 2 cups of coffee with no mess, just press the button and when finished… Read more ·  1

throw out the used pad. Love the coffee and there are lots of different strengths and flavors to try. The only reason I can't give it 5 stars is because it can be challenging to find the senseo pads, I used to be able to buy them in Woolworths but they're not stocking them anymore so I buy them either at the Dutch shop or get family from Europe to sent me a box.

Love it, getting the coffee pods not so much – I first tried this coffee machine set-up 8 years ago in Holland and loved the taste of the coffee that it produced so much, I brought one home to Australia and changed the plug to AU and presto it has been making great coffee ever since, I also got my self a 2nd one from Gumtree. Family and friends when they visit insist that I make them a coffee… Read more ·  1

from this machine as they also enjoy the great tasting coffee it produces.

The machine comes with ducs, a single and a double which you use to make a mug.

The only downside is sourcing the coffee pads. When I was in Yeppoon Qld the local Woolworth's stocked them but they were expensive $0.53 per pad, I found that by buying them in bulk, 20 packs of either 36 or 48 and having my in-laws post them to me from Holland, the cheapest way of getting the coffee pads, bringing the cost down to around $0.26 per pad, but then not every one has family back in Holland.

Love this coffee Machine and will keep using it.

Coffee pads now available on Gold Coast – Captain Candy at Ashmore on the Gold Coast are selling these sensio coffee pads, plus also the dutch supermarket brand AN. I have been looking everywhere for them, and they're right there in my home town! They also sell quite a range of dutch lollies and other foods incl croquettes.  Show reply

Where can I buy Senseo Coffee Bags in Sydney? – I have tried both Woolworths and Coles and cannot find the coffee bags anywhere. Are they still being sold? Would anybody know where they might still be sold. They make a great cup of coffee. If they are not being made anymore I suppose I will just have to throw out the machine !!!!!  Show 8 replies

Coffeepot – I like my machine, good coffee. Yes the coffeepods are à bit expensive, but if you go to à good shop, you Pay easely ? $ 3.00 for à single cup. I think it is worth it. Not everyone likes that type of coffee. My husband just likes instant. Well everyone has a different taste. Regards Taste mainly

Phillips Senseo Capuccino maker (my bad not this model, I've got the one with mild frother) – Outstanding!! Ordered my pods from typicaldutchstuff.com (not to be confused with typical-dutch-store.com) and got 264 assorted Senseo pods (all 12 flavours and individually wrapped) for $54 Euros ($65AUS) incl. delivery. My mum has the Nespresso Lattissima and it's good; coffee is really good but unless you preheat the cup it's too cold for my… Read more

liking. The Senseo (although not boiling hot) it's perfect temp to be able to sip it without it going cold.

Senseo in a few words it's simply amazing!! At least $200 cheaper than Lattissima. Pods costed roughly 25c ea! Delonghi watch out because Senseo it's a force to be reckon with! Soooo easy to use and clean. Big water reservoir. Coffee is fantastic. It looks sleek and compact enough to have on kitchen counter. Love it! If I wanted to be picky I would say milk container could be a bit bigger.

Love it – I brought this from overseas because all my friends had one there. It is so easy and low maintenance and brews great coffee. I have to get my pods at Woolies and they are not cheap. Comes down to about 40c a cup. Easy, great coffee, low maintenance, looks great Relatively hard to find pods, pods are fairly expensive Show 3 replies

Excellent – Love it - can't start my day without it !! First used it when housesitting in UK and France - couldn't wait to buy one on return to Australia. love this product. Coffee is good and strong and easy to use. find the ready made pods expensive. Buy a coffeduck or ecopads from Kull and Kull on ebay and you can use your own ground coffee for more flavour Show reply

Excellent – I am glad we bought this machine. At home, it is the only coffee I drink. Pods can be expensive, but cheaper than coffee in a coffee shop. Everything - terrific machine - no mess and easy to clean Living in rural Victoria, have limited access to pods. Show reply

Outstanding – Simply makes great coffee at a fraction of the price. Nice creama. I use eco pods (reusable container), to access a wider variety of coffee. Easy to clean. Had mine for 12 months. Bought another for work. Avoid the "duck", as the carrier catches in the seal & creates a big mess. Eco pods are the go. Great coffee. Great price. Marcona pods provide limited coffee varieties.  Show reply

Good – I like that this machine is very quick and easy to use. It's not brain surgery to operate it. I am not a huge fan of the pods that are available and they seem expensive to me. I have bought something on ebay that I can put my own coffee into it and use it in the machine as I would a normal pod which I htink is mush preferable. Also the machine… Read more

is well priced, very affordable. I would recommend this to all coffee drinkers but would tell them to look into the refillable pod so you can use whatever coffee you prefer! Quick & Easy Not a fan of the pods

Excellent – My BIL has one and I was impressed by the simplicity of it. I do have a sunbeam Artista but this Sensco is good for our holiday house as nothing can get damaged through it not being clean/spurged by visitors. Wasn't too pleased at first thinking I had to use the coffee pads but available is a 'duck' that allows you to use your favourite coffee.… Read more ·  1

These are about $25 new on line (ebay). I have brought my SIL a Senseo and 'duck' for her birthday.She likes uncomplicated appliances so should be good for her. Beats instant coffee hands down! small, compact and produces good crema and now can us my fav coffee with the new 'duck' attachment.

Good – Makes a good coffee, using reusable pods.Hated all the pads we bought,found them weak and often stale and an expensive way to buy. We bought Melita Reusable pods, which mean you can buy any ground coffee and use it in the Senseo machine,that way you get a great coffee.We bought the Pods overseas.

Excellent – It is a very smart machine only the price of the pods are a bit high reduce the price and all will be o'k Every thing

Excellent – I also saw this demonstrated in europe and said to my self i have to have one of these well done philips The ease of using the machine

Excellent – It's such an easy to use coffee maker. I had one when I lived overseas and I think about getting one again a lot. very easy to handle nothing to dislike besides maybe the price of the coffee pads

Excellent – Great machine for a quick serve of coffee; I like the look of it and it is easy to clean. Our Senseo has given us no problems at all, we are very happy with it. Well done Philips, it's one of those inventions that make life more pleasant. I hate instant coffee and this is a simple, perfect alternative. It makes a nice cup of coffee in no time;… Read more

simple to use, easy to clean, great tast. We looked for one as soon as we arrived in Australia (from Europe). It is the most simple way to make a fresh cup of coffee. No cons really, apart from the price of coffee pads. I have my family send them from Europe as they are a lot cheaper there! Also we use a refillable permanent coffeepods but coffee is less tasty.

Excellent – clean up quick and easy. will buy one again when we move back to Australia. just bring the cost of the pods down world wide and I will be so happy everything no mess when changing the pods unlike coffee grinds. coffee perhaps not quite hot enough and yes the pods are very expensive compared to regular coffee

Excellent – I love this machine, I have one at work and one at home. Pods can work out expensive but still much cheaper than buying at a cafe. I would like to have more choice in the coffee, the pods make it very limited, for a short time they were out of stock everywhere, never did find out why. Also great that you can buy in decafinated as well, although… Read more

it is harder to find. I always get a good response from people when I make them a coffee from this machine as it looks so basic. Easy to use and easy to clean. limitation as to the choice in coffee

Excellent – see above, quick simple no mess delivery of one or two excellent cups of coffee. very reasonable price to buy very easy to clean and maintain. Virtually no dismantling required for clean up and simple simple simple. Fill the water container, place coffee bag or bags in holder, place cup under spout press button and wait 20 seconds for super… Read more

coffee. A winner. excellent coffee, no mess simple quick, good choice of coffees to choose from, (Amazon will deliver foc cheaper than shop price ) nothing there is nothing to dislike, it works it is quick it delivers great coffee, whats not to like?

Good – It's a decent machine, but anything that locks you into buying pods like this is always going to be problamatic. I liked the way it was no fuss, but I prefer something a bit more sleek design wise myself. Used one of these while living with a friend last year and was pretty impressed, easy to use, doesn't create any mess, no messy spillage of… Read more

coffee grounds, afforable pods, doesn't take up much bench room and will produce a nice, if somewhat standard cup of coffee No variation in what it produces, the pods can be almost impossible to find, difficult to get the machine fixed when it broke down.

Excellent – We were given this as a present and have found it brilliant and extrememly easy to use. it makes a great tasting coffee and the coffee pods are easly to buy at any supermarket. we use to have big machine. But this is easier to use with less washing up and same great taste. this is the best coffee machine out! Small compact and simple to use

OK – Appliance is good value for money but the cost of the satchels needs to be considered. Appearance is good and with several colours available, it can blend in with the kitchen decor. Simple and convenient to use. Readily available for a quick coffee if left in an accessible position. Coffee satchels can be expensive is you are a frequent coffee… Read more

drinker. Limited coffee styles and if your taste does not match the few varieties available, you will be disappointing.

Excellent – I love this machine. The coffee tastes great and so easy to use and clean. I was a little put off the price of the pods at first. But when you compare to a take away coffee you're better off. I was given this machine as a pressie and waasn't so sure I would sure it much. Boy was I wrong. I use it every day and with 2 kids under 3, my morning… Read more

coffee is quick,easy and tastes fantastic!!! Great tasting coffe, nice slim attractive machine and very very easy to use Hard to find decaf pods, only certain stores sell them. Very addictive coffee,lol

Good – these coffee maker is just right for coffee lovers. it's simple and yet reliable. no complicated push on/off buttons, it only has 3 buttons for you to get started. one thing i like most about this product is its auto off feature, it turns off by itself when you're done using it. it is also easy to clean and with its clear water tank, you can see… Read more

if its time to pour more water to it. i must admit these machine is a great must have for those coffee lovers! easy to operate none that i could think of

Excellent – This is a great, easy to use, compact machine that every kitchen should have. It is easy to use and easy to clean and doesnt take up too much space. Husband loves it as he has black espressos, I have to warm some milk for mine which is a bit of a pain, but worth it as when you add the coffee, the creme layer makes it a bit like a cappucino. A… Read more

good, reasonably priced option that makes a GREAT coffee. Great little, easy to use machine. Makes a great espresso, pods make it so easy. Most other espresso cups dont fit under the nossle, so a bit tricky if you only have 2 cups and 4 guests (we bought additional cups from Philips to fix this). You have to also microwave the milk if you have your coffee white otherwise coffee comes out warm from the cold milk.

Excellent – Would not swap this for a more expensive machine,I looked at more expensive machines and could not justify buying one over the Senseo Have been using this machine for two years now and love it, Quick and easy no mess and good tasting coffee Price of pods, However You can purchase pods from [url censored], at very reasonable prices ($59.00 for 10 packets + postage)

Bad – Ok for one or two. Taste of coffee is what you expect from a cheap machine and pre packaged coffee. Bit better then instant but not up to a good cup of fresh coffe. i will retire this amchine when I can afford a proper one. But that is still some time off. As dollars need to saved. You can get different types of coffe for this machine but the… Read more

couple I've tired are all fine none of them grab me a great cup of coffee. So till I can afford the serious machine this one will do. it makes coffee of average standard it slow when need to make many cups

Excellent – Very easy to use.Minimal wash up.Compact enough to take in our motorhome.Dont need to go to a coffee shop any more! This coffee is as good as any. The best coffee maker out!Small in size,BIG on making a GOOD cup of coffee!1/2 cups per30/60 seconds! I'mm drinking too much coffe! LOL

Excellent – This is a great coffee machine that is quick and easy to use. It is a basic model and may not be suitable for coffee connoisseurs but if makes a quick and easy coffee and is sooo easy to clean. I like to use a standard size mug and half fill the mug with milk. Once you microwave it, it tastes just like a latte and all in the convenience of your… Read more

own home. We've had ours for about 18 months and it works like a dream, every time! Easy to use and makes a great coffee! Takes up minimal space on the bench. Easy to buy the coffee pods at any supermarket.

Excellent – This is the best machine for coffee. We get the extra strong senseo pods and the coffee is great. This is the only coffee my wife and I drink. We don't even go out for coffee anymore... This is so simple to use.

Good – Excellent value for money and the coffee is tasty and easy to make. Pods are freely available, and quite cheap, from a number of online sellers. Simple to use. Good design as the moving parts fit together very easy. Makes well above average coffee. Nothing to dislike really, although may not be as ecstatically pleasing as the flash far more expensive soffee makers.

Excellent – I am such an fan of this machine that I have got a number of friends on the Senseo coffee machine. I love the machine, is it quick and easy and make great coffee. Our whole family cannot get enough of it. We love it so much we are going through our packet of pods quickly, I have bought myself an eco-refill pod which you can use to put your own… Read more

coffee in and the taste is exactly the same. I wish the shops sells the bulk pack of 36 or 48 as they do in Europe. I got my sister to send a whole box.
