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!
