Customer Reviews
Luigi Bormioli Duo beverage glasses
Love these glasses! They don't sweat and they look really nice on the table. Light weight and durable - highly recommend.

Lovely for Coffee
The double lined glass wall id perfect for hot coffee.
It stays hot longer with this design.
You will also not burn your hands if you touch the sides.
I recommend.

Excellent, But Fragile
I haven't had a problem with these, and love 'em! I haven't broken one yet (knock wood!). I do wash them gently by hand, am extremely mindful to handle them with care, and don't add sugar (i.e., no spoons stirring in the cups). They hold two shots ("dopio"), keep the espresso hot for a reasonable amt. of time (I pre-heat mine under hot water prior to brewing), and look the business! There's something about seeing the espresso churn in the cup (i.e., looks just like Guinness being drawn from the tap in pint glasses) and seeing the meniscus of the espresso and the crema on top that is highly appealing! I've got a set of these, a set of Bodum Pavina's (good also, but no handle and only good for a single "solo" shot), and Bodum Paula's as well (ok, and also hold only a solo, but are not glass). I'd buy these again...recommended.

Customer Reviews
I am addicted!
This is the best purchase I have ever made and I highly recommend it. The machine produces excellent espresso (try the special edition pods for a treat.) The lattes and cappuccinos are better than the expensive store bought ones and customer service is amazing. I am actually considering buying the travel case because I miss my machine when I am away from home. When the aeroccino stopped working I called cs and they had a new one on my doorstep that week at no cost to me! You won't regret buying this machine, although you can bet on being addicted to it in a matter of days.

Wonderful
I loved the NESPRESSO C100 Essenza!!
The quality of the coffees is really exceptional and it is very easy to operate this machine and even my husband, who doesn't drink coffee, enjoys preparing the expressos for me...

best for the price
This product is just awesome. I've had several espresso machines in the past. One made by Krups(300bucks) and Mr. coffee(80bucks). The essenza makes great espresso drinks. Comparable to your local starbucks. The froth machine is also a gem. The best part of this is the clean up takes less then a minute. Best of both worlds.

Good Earl Gray tea
I have a black & Decker pod machine. This works great in it. Good tea..

Earl Grey For Senseo
I got these cause I like making tea in my senseo by putting two bags at a 45 degree angle to each other. It always turns out great. One day I got an email from Amazon about these pickwick tea bags. They only had two varieties, Earl Grey and Peppermint. I tried the Earl grey because I wasn't sure I wanted 120 bags of peppermint tea. When I got them, I tried them right away. The quality was excellent, however, there is a slight mint flavor in the tea, which is not really common to an Earl Grey. All in all, I like the product, but probably will stick to my $0.99 cent 100 tea bags from Walmart. But you might enjoy better. I did NOT purchase the teapod holder for my senseo, I just carefully placed the pods in my small holder instead (FYI).

very disappointed
Earl Grey is one of my favorite teas, but I am totally disappointed with this one. It tastes of fake lime to me, like they added some lime jello or something. FYI the tea pods ( 2.25") are smaller than the coffee pods (2.75"), hence the different T-pod holder, which also has a chamber on the underside, perhaps to channel the tea so it has less contact with surfaces that the coffee may have flavored?
Anyway, the only way I could get the t-pod holder for the base model was the senseo website. No local stores had the tea either so I also spent a lot for the case and now I'm saddled with 119 pods I don't want. Too bad I didn't get them from Amazon, who might take them back...
I discovered that I can perfectly well make tea in my Senseo by carefully tucking any tea bag in the pod holder, smoothing it and folding back any edges that extend where they might break the seal. It has worked for me in both the single coffee and tea holders.

Customer Reviews
My fav.
Since I started drinking it, I knew Senseo Cappuccino was a pit for me: halfway through the first pack, I subscribed to it. Now it's been over a year for me, and Cappuccino is still by far my favorite Senseo flavor.
Nothing better than that to start the day with!

Great cappucino
I have tried different flavors for my senseo and for it is the cappucino I like best. For me it is frothy enough hot cold add millk or not, I am just more satisfied to wind down with a good cup.

Yummy!
It's really tasty but my only complaint is one pod fits in the double holder and it only makes 4 oz of coffee. So, I just brew twice for my cappuccino!

Great product!
I ordered both this coffee table and the matching end table. They are perfect for my space. I needed tables that were on the small side for a small seating area in my family room. These tables are perfect! The price was great--very inexpensive--and they look nice, not cheap as the price may lead you to believe. Also, they were easy to put together.

not very satisfied...
I was not very satisfied with this table. It was missing a few bolts and some of the designated holes for the screws were not put in the right place. My husband had to drill two other holes for the bolts to go into.
The box got to us in pretty bad shape. It just looked like whoever sent this had had it for a long time or that it had been moved several times or just not taken care of. On a somewhat positive note it got to us fairly quick!

Winsome Round Coffee Table
Table is nice and sturdy. Easy to put together and looks great. Appears more expensive than the cost.

Editorial Reviews
About the Brand
The company's story began in 1981 when Phil Johnson started selling 100-pound sacks of whole bean Arabicas to gourmet shops in the Seattle area. One day, while shopping at his local supermarket, he had an epiphany: why not sell gourmet coffee beans to supermarkets not just in Seattle, but all over the Northwest? Phil promised supermarket managers that he would supply the bins, clean them regularly, and most important, supply whole beans each week.

Today, Millstone Coffee is available across the country. And Phil, who still owns his coffee plantation, has passed his legacy to the Millstone Coffee Company. While a cup of coffee takes just minutes to enjoy, at Millstone it's a lifelong passion. While coffee is grown in approximately 30 countries, less than 15% of the world's beans are exceptional enough for Millstone. We are devoted to selecting only the world's finest premium and Arabica coffee beans to ultimately please your discriminating taste.

Millstone is a member of the Proctor & Gamble family of brands.

About Proctor & Gamble
Two billion times a day, Proctor & Gamble brands touch the lives of people around the world. The company has one of the largest and strongest portfolios of trusted brands in the world, including Pampers, Tide, Ariel, Always, Pantene, Bounty, Folgers, Pringles, Charmin, Downy, Iams, Crest, Actonel, and Olay.

It all started in 1837 when William Procter and James Gamble settled in Cincinnati. Procter quickly established himself as a candle maker, while Gamble apprenticed himself to a soap maker. The two might never have met had they not married sisters, Olivia and Elizabeth Norris, whose father convinced his new sons-in-law to become business partners. In 1837,a bold new enterprise was born: Procter & Gamble. By each pledging $3,596.47 to the new venture, they began selling soap and candles. Twenty-two years later, their business exceeded $1 million in sales. By 1980 that figure would reach $10 billion, and by 1993 the company would generate over $35 billion in revenue.

Good Regular Coffee for Senseo
The taste of coffee is good but not super. What I value it is the price/performance, which is very good. The coffee is for my regular morning wake-up. A single pod can fill one mug.

Excellent coffee pods
They have a little more coffee in each pod and seem to deliver a slightly richer cup. However, the grounds are tightly packed and can hamper the flow of water through them. I massage the pod a little before I use it and that seems to correct that problem.

Love this Coffee
We have tried other coffee pods but the Millstone Columbia Supremo coffee is really a good coffee. Also we have found that every pod is has exactly the same flavor, unlike some other brands we tried.
