Why a Senseo Gourmet Coffeemaker Makes the Best Single Cup of Coffee

It was not that long ago that coffee came out of a tin and required nothing but a pot of boiling water to activate its essential properties, but our world has changed and people these days value quality and complex flavors. Today’s consumers want to choose their own brand of coffee beans sourced from exotic places like The Bahamas or Kenya. More than that, today’s coffee enthusiasts want to experience the full measure of creating a perfect cup, from the grinding of our own beans to the heady aroma that comes from a freshly brewed cup of coffee.

There are literally thousands of coffee bars in the world, identifiable by their aroma and the types of coffees that are available. With many beverages such as the extravagant cappuccino or flavored coffees to the no frills, straight up filter coffee. What they all have in common is that each order is freshly brewed.

At Home

It may not be possible to recreate a fully stocked coffee bar in our home, but everyone may agree that a freshly brewed cup of coffee first thing in the morning is not a luxury anymore, for many of us it is essential. Most homes boast a coffee machine designed to brew freshly ground beans. These machines usually work by allowing a slow drip of hot water to pass through ground coffee beans into a pot below. It does not use pressure to force the water through and this often results in the coffee getting cold while we wait for the cycle to finish. Many people find that it is just too time consuming to make a cup of coffee in this manner.

Senseo Innovation

That is why a new breed of coffee making machine is rapidly gaining popularity;

one that uses pressure. Senseo manufactures this coffee machine and it provides much innovation to the market of home coffee brewing machines. The Senseo Gourmet Coffeemaker pushes pressurized water through a pre-packed coffee pod. These coffee pods are packed with just the right amount of coffee, which allows for the best possible result.

Senseo allows you to brew one or two cups of coffee at a time. Brewing your cup of coffee with the Senseo Coffeemaker can be completed in a few simple steps. First, fill the water tank, followed by opening the lid and placing in your coffee pod. The last step is to switch it on and watch how your Senseo Gourmet Coffeemaker allows just the right amount of pressure and just the right amount of water to flow through the pod. In two minutes, you can have a perfectly brewed, hot cup of filtered coffee to kick start your day. However, it gets better: because of the pressurized system that is used by the Senseo Gourmet Coffeemaker; your cup of coffee should have a thick foamy layer on top as well.

The Practicalities

Senseo coffee pods are mess-free and require no expensive filters; they also ensure you are not left with coffee grounds at the bottom of your cup. Whatever your taste in coffee, Senseo coffee pods covers them all. You can choose from mild roast, medium roast, and dark roast, even decaffeinated.

Senseo Gourmet Coffeemakers have a ‘SensAuto-off’ switch, which turns the machine off after an hour, so you do not have to worry about accidently leaving the Senseo on. They are designed with removable parts that are completely safe in the dishwasher. Senseo offer accessories such as replaceable water tanks that make your coffee experience even easier.

Senseo Options

Senseo Gourmet Coffeemakers come in a one-cup option as well as the basic 1-2 cup option, each offer the same incredible basic functions. Senseo has another option available called the Senseo Supreme. The Supreme offers many added features for your convenience.

While still allowing the 1-2 cup option, the Supreme allows more control over how much coffee can be brewed and you can change the amount per cup, great if you have different sized coffee cups, or mugs.

The spout is different too – adjustable so that you can accommodate taller cups. The water tank has increased in size so that you do not have to refill it that often. There is also an LED indicator, which keeps you informed on the water levels.

Another added feature allows you to enjoy frothed milk without all the fuss. The Supreme has an integrated milk container, which includes a feature that froths the milk. This offers luxurious foam on top of your coffee. There is also a cleaning button that is designed to remove all milk residues from the machine.
