I don't know if you ever purchased the Senseo you were interested in, but
there's a relatively long thread (if 28 posts can be considered long) about
it in e-Gullet--most posts are by people who have the machine (or have at
least tried coffee made with the machine). Most seem to like the machine,
though preferably with the dark roast pods. You can also get non-Senseo
pods and one person highly recommends Kona coffee pods available through
Amazon. You can also purchase a gadget to use your own coffee with Senseo
machines (expensive, and mail-ordered through a company in Europe). Here's
the link to the thread if you're interested.

people who really wanted to live in Europe, but didn't have the energy to go
back. We call them Canadians."
