Ok,
As a spur of the moment type thing, I purchased a Philips Senseo Pod Coffee maker at Target. It is a really nice machine, and it produces a cup of coffee with a nice thick "crema" (not espresso like but still ok). There is no clean up, and since I am only only person in my household that enjoys coffee I don't have to get a whole caraffe dirty just for a cup or two.

The only problem is that Philips is the only official pod supplier, and their coffee isn't all that good. After doing some research, it seems I am not alone in my dislike of the flavour, and came accross this site: www.cafepods.com. The #62 pods supposedly will work with the Senseo. I purchased a few packages, and I am looking forward to seeing if they produce a better cup of coffee.

I wonder how slashdot affords to have users fill their db with useless drivel such as this.
