If you really want to buy a Senseo for your loved one (and we suggest we do) - Phillips is offering a $20 dollar rebate on their $70 dollar machine - roughly making it $50 or less at most online stores. In our opinion - that's a total steal.
Imagine Christmas morning, you come down to the Christmas tree - and someone you love (and live with) gets a Senseo. Next for breakfast you will then get the most perfect cup of coffee ever. Do it. Buy the Senseo. You will not be sorry. OH! Imagine Senseo Single Serve Coffee with your New Years hangover....oooh!

Review: Home Café Cappuccino Pods from Single Serve Coffee.com
When Home Café launched earlier this year, we did a review on the machine and thought the overall quality of the Black & Decker version might be offset with the “specialty pod holder” and what pods would work in it might forgive the lack of quality of the machine. Well - read on to see whether this feature redeems the machine and the coffee you can currently buy for it.
The Home Cafe Specialty Pods
The Home Café Specialty Pod holder does in fact fit the newly released cappuccino pods from Folgers. The pods are nearly 4 times the size as a typical 62mm pod, and contain quite a few more calories as well. Each Cappuccino pod is 170 calories per cup and 9 grams of fat. So - if you are on a diet - you might want to stick with black coffee, but in its defense, this isn't a whole lot of calories for a 7oz cup of coffee with cream and sugar.
So square...so Alan? Oh well - I'm sure it's named after the designer or something. :-)
"A square coffee table with a substantial presence. Design highlights include the chunky Parsons base and formed brass tabletop with a hand-applied, antiqued patina."
Senseo in 3D anyone? Wild! The folks at Rich 3D have created an interactive 3D Senseo for you to play with. Check it out!!!
"The massive Dutch electronics firm, Phillips is rolling out their unique coffeemaker, Senseo, across North America and Europe. Koen's work at Xfer 3D Studio led his team to develop a working example. The North American office of Philips loves the effort and is positioning to compliment sales and marketing effort of the product with this."
A very solid look at the landscape that is Single Serve Coffee, however I'm not sure how they can say that the foam on a cup of Senseo is not yummy, how the espresso from an Impressa from Capresso is not exceptional, and how they would rather pay $4 for a cup of coffee versus .27 cents from a pod. Oh well, you can't please everyone can you?. A special thanks to The MacGourmet for sending thi s in.
"The first coffee of the day is a make-or-break moment. A robust, flavorful cup can clear the mind, cheer the soul and boost self-confidence. A watery, bitter brew almost guarantees gloom.
Small wonder that the corner Starbucks has become a kind of beverage wayside chapel, restoring the spirit with sacramental espressos, cappuccinos and lattes.
VIP Brushed Aluminum Senseo Coming to Netherlands in November
Can you say beautiful? Wow. ANd supposedly improved? How do you impreove on Senseo? Well brushed aluminum is a start, and look at the controls? Very nice. Here's to hoping this comes out in the states as well.
Translated from Dutch:
"These newest Senseo® are not only a hoogstandje in the field of design, also the apparatus geruislozer is and qualitatively improves then the earlier versions.
With its very tight lines and thanks to the use of high-quality brushed aluminium a powerful and unique irradiation has these new Senseo®!
Wow. It's been Home Café news as of late, but you have to hand it to P&G, Black&Decker, and Mr. Coffee-they are pulling out all the stops to make Home Café a success. Currently they have the biggest variety of pod flavors for coffee, and now they are launching a red Home Café! We can't wait to get our eyes on this machine and it's nice to know that like the red Melitta we reviewed earlier & the red Senseo in Europe, maybe all the single serve coffee machines will come in red someday!
Special pod holder mystery solved!!! The first pods available for the special pod holder will be cappuccino flavored from Folgers. We've just ordered a set and will review as soon as we get them.
"If you love a creamy, frothy, smooth beverage, try new Folgers® Authentic Cappuccino. Our unique coffee pod delivers an authentic coffeehouse-style beverage in about a minute, and it's exclusively available online. Come on, indulgeyou deserve it!"
Just to let anyone know who is still interested in finding someone who will ship these to North America, I have found a Dutch website that will do so. They provide a variety of payment options, including paypal. Just look under the section "Senseo Coffee", and it is the first item listed. The cost of the filter is 20 EURO. In Holland, there are also some new flavours of Senseo coffee pods available that are not available in North America. Those can be found in this section as well. Hope this helps!
We'd like to personally thank our Single Serve Coffee.com Sponsors for the months of October and November. Without our sponsors we would not be able to buy new products to review and also pay for hosting as our traffic has doubled every month since May.

Home Café Revisited Review from Single Serve Coffee.com
As often as we can, we will revisit different products we review. Even though we might not be keen on a product - it's good to have perspective, so I told my good friend Eric Lanoue about the Home Café and he thought it would fit his needs. He wanted to be able to brew decaf coffee for his mother in law without having to brew an entire pot.
