IIRC coffee is Douwe Egbert's mainstream product. But Frank would know
better, it's been two decades since I lived in the Netherlands. And I
always liked the other brand better, Kanis&Gunninck or something like
that.

Yes, coffee it is. 5 years ago Philips & DE dvelopped the Senseo
coffee maker. Absolutely brilliant product, makes a perfect cup of
coffee in less than 2 minutes, and the next one in less than a
minute.

We got the Braun equivalent- "Tassimo" with the bar codes on the
so-called pods. It's a cool concept. The espresso is not quite as good
as using a real machine, but it's pretty good for how easy it is to
make. I do object to the "inkjet printer" aspect, where you are stuck
into buying their licensed cartridges.

Here in the Netherlands we can buy pods from other brands too, and
these are about 30% cheaper, but have the same quality of coffee
inside. But in Belgium you can only by DE brand pods.

My full size machine makes better espresso, automatically, and for a
fraction of the cost per cup, but it's probably cost 10-20 times as
much.

True, but these machines require a bit more work/maintance, and
take more space. I don't know how long my Senseo will last, it
is two years old now, and starts to make a bit more noise, after
an estimated 2500 cups of coffee. But I'd buy a new one in a
heartbeat.

Thanks, Frank.
