Review: Senseo 10 Percent Kona Coffee Blend Pods

Senseo was kind enough to send over a sample bag of their new 10% Kona Coffee Blend coffee pods to review, and we're glad they did. We've been anticipating how good these coffee pods would and could be, and are pleased to say up front - pretty darn good (think Larry David saying that). Kona Coffee tends to be milder and easier on the stomach and palette, and the 10% Kona Coffee blend coffee pods are no exception.

Senseo Cafe Noir Coffee Pods

We've yet to try the Cafe Noir Senseo coffee pods, but many readers and reviewers claim an almost french roast like flavor with a full body. We're game, and think it's nice to see Senseo having a full roundup of coffee pods instead of just light, medium, and bold.

The Senseo Cafe Noir Coffee Pods will work in your Senseo, Bunn My Cafe, Melitta One:One, simplehuman, Krups 1010 , GPOD, Home Cafe, Cuisinart SS-1 Cup-O-Matic, Melitta MES5B Javapod, and other single serve coffee pod makers.

Senseo Quadrante Coffee Pod Brewer Pictures and Details

We've recently received the Senseo Quadrante from Europe from Senseo's PR agency, and thought an unboxing was in order. Given the power convertor issues we've had trying to get the machine to run on a US circuit, we're not sure if we'll fully be able to review the Senseo Quadrante in the short term. Regardless, the machine in person is really stunning. The design lines are clean, and the refresh to a cube form welcome.

The double pod holder is loose on top.

The machine features the same one cup and double cup buttons, along with a redesigned water reservoir that is much easier to grip and hold. The big change is the coffee pod drawer area - the entire top pops open for you to put your single or set of coffee pods into.

Senseo Quadrante Single Serve Coffee Pod Brewer Coming to US Markets [Updated]

That's right - you heard it here first. We believe after receiving a teaser package from Senseo which contains a Rubix Cube with Quadrante pictures and one of the cube glass shaped mugs abobe that the Senseo Quadrante is coming to the US markets.

It makes sense given Senseo's need to relaunch and rebrand their brewer for a larger single serve coffee market here in the US. The new design is cube like and gives the Senseo single serve coffee pod brewer a new look and fresh start. We're not sure of the timing, but given the lack of any Senseo single serve coffee makers at retail and Amazon - we think it's got to be early this Fall and maybe in time for back to school.

We also want to note we covered this rumored design over a year ago here at Single Serve Coffee, and the final design is almost the same as our rumor pictures.

Update: We don't have a confirmation on when the Senseo Quadrante is coming to the US. We did get word the Senseo Quadrante will launch this September in France, Belgium, Netherlands and Germany.

Ask Aida - Single Serve Coffee

We'll there's not much to Ask Aida in this video about single serve coffee, but it's cool to see the Creme Brulee coffee pods and Senseo in a top chef's kitchen from the Food Network. We also like the suggestion of using a peppermint stick as a stirrer to "holiday up' your single serve coffee.

Rumor: Philips Next Generation Senseo Pictures

We're big fans of the Senseo single serve coffee pod brewer here at Single Serve Coffee, and we recently found these rumored pictures of the next-generation Senseo at Engadget. Given the design of the current Senseo hasn't changed in shape since 2004 here in the US, it's not surprising Philips may be designing a new Senseo.

We're not sure that this design hits the mark, but it does seem modern in that 1960's sort of way. We'll keep you posted on what else we find out, but for now these pictures are just rumors. We also think it's nice to have some rumored pictures of something other than an Apple iPhone or next generation iPod.

Coffeeduck Permanent Refillable Filter for the Orginal Senseo

CoffeeDuck? The name does not inspire confidence, but if you're looking to use your own ground coffee with your Senseo, this duck may do the trick. But buyer beware, the CoffeeDuck does not work with the Senseo Supreme or Senseo Deluxe, it only works with the original Senseo.

The CoffeeDuck will allow you to use whatever coffee you like, and can also be used with one or two regular paper coffee pods, so if you ever lose your Senseo pod holders, you can still make pod coffee. For best results, they recommend using a fine grind when using ground coffee with the CoffeeDuck.

We'll have to order the "duck" and see how good of a job it does.

Europe: Chocomel - Hot Chocolate for Senseo

Hot chocolate or hot cocoa is all the rage for these days for single serve coffee machines. We're really excited to see some innovation in the non-coffee hot beverage space, but just wish these innovations would come to US shores first. Chocomel, a very popular chocolate drink in Europe, is heading to Senseo. The kit for Senseo will include a special holder to use in Senseo when making a cup of Chocomel. We'll let you know if we can get one of these to try out.
