Does the coffee have the brown foam like the senseo or other expresso coffee machines?

No, my Phillips Senseo had a wonderful creama on the top, this one doesn't.

No, we got DeLonghi espresso machine with milk frother. No good pods for melita machine available.

I have not tried espresso pods in it. I don't know if that makes any difference. But with regular coffee pods, you don't get foam.

It's pretty dark espresso brown. If you don't put it next to each other, it probably wouldn't be too obvious. It's closer to black. But, if you put it side by side, you could see the difference. HTH. :)

No ... Coffee is placed in the unit in the form of senseo pods which contain the coffee in a filter like material. After use, the pod is removed and thrown in the trash!

Yes, it does. But, much like an espresso machine, you have to use finely ground coffee (like an espresso grind) and you have to tamp it a bit in the Coffeduck. Typically, I put about three heaping teaspoons of coffee into it, tamp that down a little bit, wipe clean the mating surface of the Coffeeduck and the plastic cover, and then brew 3 cups of coffee - a double size cup and then a single cup so I can fill a 20-ounce travel mug. Coffee turns out medium-strong with crema (the foam), and the Senseo operates normally. If the coffee is too finely ground or tamped too much, the pump will sound like it's working harder than it should be. That said, I have never had an issue with that nor have I had any issues with it leaking. It's a little bit of work, but being able to use the coffee I want and not spending a ridiculous amount of money on K cups or the like makes the inconvenience worth it.

I'll update my original post by adding I did purchase another Senseo coffee machine, the same as I had but a different color. Here it is 2012 and I'm still hooked on the froth!My friend bought a Keurig and after I tried it I thought it was just OK, not special like Senseo. When we have guests over I usually make a pot of drip coffee from the very old Melitta pot and funnel type filter that I used for many years. If we run out and someone wants just one cup I'll get them a Senseo Kenya or Kona and watch their eyes widen after the first sip. Glad I bought another Senseo and I hope to get 5 years out of this one. Thanks for all your comments.

Yes, it does. The machine has setting for standard long coffee and you can change how strong you want the coffee to be (mild, standard, strong, etc)

Not at this time, although they do have some Chocolate flavor coffee capsules. If you want a killer Mocha, make a latte with chocolate milk :)

Not wanting to say absolutely not, however I seriously doubt it. The senseo pods are made of paper and about thediameter of a silver dollar. If I recall the Keurig is a plastic type of pot. Good luck on your venture, I LOVE THE SENSEO MEDIUM ROAST, GREAT FROTH AND VERY SMOOTH COFFEE !

It doesn't turn as brown as when you use creamer. It also has little coconut pieces (pulp like)that float in the coffee. If this doesn't bother you then it does have a good flavor. I didn't care for the pulp.

I had the same machine until last year when it broke. I tried the Coffeeduck, and it did the job, but the coffee lacked the crema and taste the Senseo was so famous for. I returned it. I use a Perfect Pod maker with EasyPack filters and my own coffee to make pods. A better cup at a lower cost than store-bought pods, and they fit my new SunCanna machine, too. My SunCanna works even better than my Senseo did!

i would say it is more black than brown. it's labelled as espresso (brown-black?) though.

I have been searching for one and have not yet found it. It is a beautiful machine but I did not know what to look for when I bought it. It's Cafe "Americano" is terrible. I just got the "Lungo" and it is better but not great. The Cappuccino is good but very expensive. If I had known more I might have bought something else.By the way, Amazon has most of their coffees shipped free if you have Prime.

My sister has a senseo and I used those pods. Even the regular coffee pods came out nice! I was very surprised at how good the latte/cappucino pods were. Unfortunately my coffee machine is out of commision since there is a leak somewhere and the espresso button sticks. Have to send out to fix :(

No. This machine only uses the iperEspresso capsules. There are other machines that can use either the capsules or ground coffee.

Mine is espresso brown but I think it came in both colors when I ordered it last year. Also, I keep mine out on my patio where it was exposed to all the elements and it remained in perfect condition as the day I put it outside. I have been very pleased with my purchase.

As the others have said, the k cups will not work with the Senseo. If you can find a Senseo you might consider purchase as opposed to a k cup machine. I have had both and much prefer the Senseo. Unfortunately they and the coffee pods are getting harder to find.

No. Only Senseo or Melitta coffee pods fits in the Hamilton Beach one cup machine.
