I just got one of these single cup pod systems. I only did it because I got the whole thing, complete with pods for $15 shipped.

Anyway, I tried the coffee this AM, and it was ok. One pod only brewed about 5oz of coffee, which was kind of annoying. The flavor was ok, kind of reminded me of the coffee at BK that comes in the big bags. I guess it will be kind of fun to use every once in a while, but I think I will stick to grinding my own and doing it the traditional way.

At least Melitta has a filter that will let you make your own pods.

Any one else have any input on these machines?

I use one at work and hit the two cup button for a full cup. Also have a second filter basket bought at willyworld that lets me use my own coffee. Just have to watch it and manually turn it off or it will overflow the cup. Its good for a hot cup of tea..

No experience with it. I've been sold on AeroPress as my work setup for 3 years or so

We had one of these. The coffee tasted good but it just was too much trouble to make one cup at a time. Went back to the 12-cup drip maker.

I do not have the Senseo but do own the Tassimo single serve brewing system. It was a gift from the wife last year. It works well, but is not for the frugal minded. It is meant to be a "cheaper" alternative to the big Coffee Shops. I like mine, but would not buy another. For a little more money, I would buy a mid-range espresso maker.
