Keurig vs Senseo: I wanted to know the difference between the Senseo and the Keurig. 1 .Does the Keurig deliver coffee with a froth?

I have had a Keurig for a year and love it but it does not make a froth on the coffee like Senseo. Furthermore, the Kcups are almost double the price of the Senseo pods. I have tasted Senseo coffee at a friends house and I like it better than the Keurig. If I was buying, I would purchase the Senseo for the above reasons. Kumar

You use pods. There are pods already made to buy and there are refillable pods. The best pods are Senseo brand, in my opinion but there are a lot of other brands available. Amazon carries some good ones

Unfortunately, Melitta pods don't really fit correctly in the Senseo Machine. They are much fuller and denser, too dense for the single cup tray and a little to thin to fill a double. I had the feeling that the necessary pressure wasn't there to make proper use of the coffee pod, still a bit too much water left in the tray after making a cup. This is bad news for us. We really love our Senseo machine and will have to change our coffee rituals if the appropriate pods are no longer available.

The Rivo uses special Lavazza espresso pods whereas the Keurig K cups are drip coffee. This machine is for espresso (lattes, cappuccino, etc)

I get my pods from Target, however, I also bought a permanent pod from Amazon and a pod maker and filters that you can make your own favorite coffees when you can't get senseo at a reasonable price. Love both items. Love my Senseo, too.

No, they do not use either Keurig k-cups or any other standard k-cup. You have to use the exclusive Vue cups which are not easy to find. They are also much more expensive than the k-cups, but the coffee is better.

There not from Keurig but they fit and work perfectly. I use them everyday. I wouldn't hesitate, as I recommend these k-kups.

I no longer own a Senseo but when I first bought mine when they first came into this countryback in 1999 ($60) and used Senseo pods (only 3 flavors then) I did get a bit of foam. Not the foamyou would expect if you get an expresso at a shoppe. The Senseo does press the coffee under highpressure some foam always appeared. Cheap Trick Pour cold skim milk into a small jar with a capa shake it up good and you will get the best foam. Put the jar in the freezer for a few minutes andmake sure the milk is cold. Good Luck

I honestly don't know, Keurig is doing some different stuff with their new line of k-cup brewers, best I can say is try it and find out.

Michael,This coffee comes in what looks like a tea bag. I don't have a Keurig, but if you can put a tea bag in it then yes.

No. I do not use these with the Keurig coffee maker. I bought these for my Senseo coffee maker and it's great for it. These pods are somewhat flat, like a tea bag. Not a K-cup.

Like "RG", I have no direct experience with either a Keurig or Senseo coffee maker. I should assume that LimeOut would work well...but I don't know. Sorry. :-((

Absolutely. You can even stack TWO of them if you want stronger coffee. When I bought the 49970 it came with a package of Senseo pods. But after you use those up, you can use the ecopads instead. It's much cheaper to use your own coffee.

Do you mean, "is there tea available in k-cups for a Keurig machine"?Yes, there are quite a few tea choices available and the tea comes out quite nicely as well.The Nespresso Pixie does not make tea. It's an expresso machine.

You have to use the Nespresso's coffee pods! I have to tell you that this is Fabulous machine! I watch for the specials that they have & free shipping from time to time. That's when I stock up. The Nespresso machine & coffee are a real treat for me now that I've found my favorite flavors. I hope this helps! It is also so much easier to clean than older styles of espresso makers! I know some people may be thinking of the Keurig capsules which you can use your own coffee for that machine & they say they would rather buy them already filled.

There are big differences in the machines. The Keurig is essentially a *coffee* machine. It makes a standard cup of coffee. Yes, it can do flavors, and there are dozens and dozens of different varieties, but it is pretty much limited to straight coffee. (There's a hot cocoa K-cup, but it's made by Green Mountain. You know how famous Green Mountain is for their hot cocoa? They're not. There's a reason.) With that much variety, you're just about assured of finding a coffee to your taste. The brewing cycle is optimized for straight coffee (though there is some flexibility there). Temperature is sometimes an issue; some people find the coffee not quite hot enough. The Tassimo, on the other hand, has far fewer varieties of coffee, but a much greater range of beverage TYPES. It makes latte, cappuccino (regular or skinny), espresso, chai tea lattes, hot chocolate, black and green teas. It makes a nice three-level latte macchiato. The temperature of the finished product is higher, and it has Starbucks pods that taste very much like the real thing. But in general, it probably does not do straight coffee quite as well as a Keurig, and there are certainly many fewer bean types, roast types, and flavors for the Tassimo. We finally decided on a Tassimo, and we love it. And that's something you'll generally find to be true no matter what you buy. It's been our experience that unless you're a coffee connoisseur (in which case, neither machine beats the more labor-intensive brewing methods), you will probably be happy with either machine.

Yes, the Tassimo uses a disc similar to K-cup... But in my estimation it makes a better cup of coffee! No, you must buy the Tassimo disc's pre-packaged, not as readily available as K-cups, but as I said much better! The way I justify, is there is NO waste, no coffee down the drain, so I don't mind the cost!
