Senseo and Splenda are the chicory and "Buisman" of the War on Terror.

Chicory was used in wartime as a surrogate for coffee. Buisman is a well known Dutch coffeeflavouring brand from that era.

A good cup of coffee starts with good beans. There are many, many, many, many ways to brew a good cup out of them. A brushed aluminum Senseo machine is not one of them.

    I guess that Senseo remark will cost me a lot of votes. But come on people.. Wake up and _taste_ the coffee!

    Nah, I think your description is dead on. I may be a coffee addict but I would never buy a Senseo.

    Nice Beans. In response to your "espresso machine no-no"....I am a current starbuckeys employeee and can use a "real espresso machine". I myself used to work and proudly hold down a "real espresso machine" cafe...."love" went into each drink. So please don't asuume starbucks employees are "latte-challenged". Remember all business's have their own unique way of running and may use their different "weapons of choice" depending own their goals. Have a great day.....hope your latte was as tasty as mine.
