Coffee Pod Brewers

[Rudyjohn]

Does anyone have one of these? Like a single serve Senseo or a Braun Tassimo? I bought a Senseo because I read the reviews where this brand seemed the best, most popular. But I'm not getting a "great, strong" cup of coffee. Excuse my ignorance but is this supposed to be similar to a cheap (REAL cheap, I know) espresso machine? Let me know your thoughts if anyone has tried one of these. Thanks!
(If I can't get anything more than a hot cup of brown water, I'm going back for a refund.)

We just bought a Cuisinart brewer (not pod) and love it. I thought about the pod machine, but then you are limited to the type of coffee you can brew. Lord save me from Yankee coffee

I have a Nespresso machine (Nestle product) and it works great! Some days I have a coffee from my other machine and other days I brew a dbl or triple shot of espresso.

We had a coffe pod machine. Got it for Christmas. It made horrid coffee - coffee so strong it could walk. Machine has been long gone - donated to Waste Management. It came with Tassimo and Gevalia pods. Yuck.

We now have a Cuisinart and it makes fabulous coffee.
