Title: Not exactly gourmet coffee
Product review: I'd think that, for the price, Senseo Douwe Egberts Coffee would offer a great coffee sipping experience. That was not the case, in my non-expert opinion. The "variety pack" comes with four different blends. The "Java blend" tastes OK. The "Colombian blend" tastes like a regular French-roast type of coffee: slightly bitter and burnt. The "Brazilian blend" is the smoothest of the three. I haven't tried the "Kenyan blend" yet. I was rather disappointed with the taste of these coffees, as I am used to buy whole bean coffee from different regions. Also, why market a "blend"? If Colombian, Brazilian or Kenyan coffee is supposed to be good, why blend it with an undisclosed variety? The good thing about these coffee pods is the Senseo method itself, which produce individual portions of a coffee that in intensity feels like something between a regular and a spresso.
