I can't tell you how amazing a cup of Senseo coffee is after until you get a clear glass coffee mug to brew it in. We've done nearly every review with a Bodum clear mug, but I would rather have this Senseo branded mug for the Senseo reviews. Typical Dutch stuff carries such an item. Get one. You won't be sorry after you see that rich crema layer of Senseo coffee floating on a top of perfect single serve coffee.
I found my perfect cup many months ago

these mugs are perfect for the senseo. I did a lot of searching before I found those babies.

Jay, if the link is not appropriate, maybe you should try the gourmet mugs then you can post a link directly to them :)

cool, thanks! I looked all over the place for good clear mugs, it was impossible to find one that was the right height. the libby mugs are 3.5in tall, that gives them about 1/2in clearance from the top of the mug to the bottom of the senseo's outflow spout. they glide in under the senseo with ease. and if you brew 8oz coffee like me, there is about 1/2-3/4in of space from the top of the mug to the top of the frothly layer. They really are a perfect size mug. btw, their price is for 6 mugs, they only sell them by the case. I couldn't find any place that sold them individually.
these are also probably better alternative for us americans. Typical Dutch Stuff looks like a European outfit, they have Euro prices.

Thanks for all the publicity! Just needed to say that a lot of Americans order these glasses from our website, and as far as I know, we are the cheapest ones out there..

I looked all over for some clear mugs and found some at the Dollar Tree. Yeah they had some stupid "bird on a limb" picture pressed into the glass but hey, it was clear and it was just a buck.
I wasn't completely satisfied with that so I kept looking. At our local Bed, Bath & Beyond they have cute little 12oz completely clear mugs. They allow the perfect space for an 8oz brew with a good froth, and still room for your favrotie milk-product. It fits perfectly under the Senseo spout, no troubles. (I hate doing a little tilt with some of my bigger mugs.) Each mug was $1.49 :)

Hey Amy, thanks for the tip. I bought my Senseo at BB&B, they didn't carry any clear glass mugs like you describe, it's probably a regional thing. But anyways, it never hurts to look. I still recommend the Libbey mugs without reservation.

It was very unintelligent of Senseo to market its Senseo coffee brewer in this country and then not market the cups that fit it. What a marketing blunder! I mean, how dumb can you be!!! I had to fly to France for vacation and buy them there...
