[Idyllchat] Swiss coffee makers

[Kim Paschen]

I heartily endorse the Senseo. I received this coffeemaker for a wedding
shower gift over 4 years ago and we use it almost every day. I actually
prefer my almond milk latte made with a Senseo pod over a Starbucks latte!
The other day, when I got home from Target (which seems to be the cheapest
place to get the pods around the Philly area) I did the math on the cost
difference between 1 Senseo pod and 1 Starbucks latte with soymilk. My
version comes in around 30 cents/cup vs. $4.30 at Starbucks. The machine
itself is about $60, so it pretty much pays for itself if you can cut down
on the Starbucks stops. I love my Senseo!!!!
