Kevin from The Office Loves Senseo

We recently got a ton of pictures sent in from a Senseo tasting event, and we really thought we'd share our favorites - Kevin from the Office. Yep - imagine on The Office everyone enjoying a nice frothy cup of Senseo coffee. Imagine getting to chat with Kevin about how much he likes his coffee. Nice.

Looks like Kevin has the base model which we think he'll love. What to learn more about the Senseo? Read our review here.

Senseo HD7832 Supreme Single-Serve Gourmet Coffeemaker - Silver and LCD Display

The Senseo HD7832 Supreme Single-Serve Gourmet Coffeemaker is still one of our favorite designs in the Senseo line of single serve coffee makers. We really love the chrome/silver accents, along with the LCD display showing you how much coffee you're going to get in your cup. The updates overall to the older 7810/65 include being able to fit a travel mug, larger reservoir, and a better drip tray (read our full review here). We think you can't go wrong if you're interested in getting into a single serve coffee maker, and you want to go the coffee pod route.

• Removable 32-ounce water reservoir; adjustable spout for different mug sizes

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.

Senseo Kicks It Up a Notch with Senseo Cafe Choco and Senseo Espresso

Food and beverage group Sara Lee has announced plans for the future growth of its hot beverage operations with an increased focus on premium brands and emerging markets like Russia. Along with geographic expansion, the company said it will also increase the number of products available through its international portfolio, particularly for its Senseo espresso machine range. It will also be bringing Senseo Espresso (we've reviewed the European version earlier this year) here to the US and we'll see new products as well over time.

This will include the launch of Senseo Café Choco, which will combine coffee, milk and chocolate together into a single product. With the debut of a new system called Flavorit during the year, the company claims that consumers will also be able to customize specific flavours in coffee through their machines. Senseo Café Choco and Flavorit are not guaranteed to come to US shores. Bummer.

Extra Large Water Tank for Senseo

Maybe one of the most asked questions we get here at Single Serve Coffee: What types of upgrades can I get for my Senseo single serve coffee pod brewer? Well, one of the best is the extra large water tank for Senseo. It holds nearly twice as much water as the standard tank at 40 oz and has an easy grip contour plus an extra wide opening to make filling the tank easier. We have one and we think you will love not having to make 10 trips a week to the faucet to fil your Senseo water tank and it's only $20 bucks. Only for use with HD7810 Senseo models; not compatible with other coffeemakers, so don't start thinking this will work on your Melitta One:One.

Senseo Branded Brabantia Coffee Pod Canisters

The Senseo Store now carries the Brabantia Stainless Steel Coffee Pod Canister with a Senseo logo. We love our coffee pod canisters and first picked them up at Amazon.com sans the logo. But if you need to keep the Senseo branding full and strong in your kitchen, the Senseo Coffee Pod canisters will keep things air tight and your single serve coffee pods fresh. The Senseo Coffee Pod Canisters hold up to 18 coffee pods and cost the same as their unbranded counterparts at just $11.95 a canister.

Senseo HD7820 Deluxe Single Serve Gourmet Coffee Maker

We've been checking out the new Senseo HD7820 Deluxe Single Serve Gourmet Coffee Maker and we like what we see.

• Single-serving gourmet coffeemaker uses premeasured coffee pods
• Adjustable Spout.
• Brews up to 8 ounces in less than a minute; simple pushbutton operation
