We've been using our SL7810/65 for several weeks and love it. Good coffee with nice froth on top. Any ideas about where to get coffee pods at a good price? Target and WalMart in our area seem to be phasing out Senseo coffee pods.

I received mine from the Netherlands Godutch.com NEVER WORKED !! I didn't realize it had a European connector . Bought one from Amazon . They should know when they sell it to the U.S.,, FEELING WRIPPED OFF . Can't return because passed return date

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.

Does anyone know if the refillable coffee filters (coffee duck, ecopad) works for SL7810??

I've used my SL7810/65 daily for about two months, and so far no issues. Have you tried contacting Senseo?

We bought ours as a replacement to a Starbucks Saeco machine (which we used heavily for 9 years), and were very disappointed in it. It lasted about two years with using it 2 to 3 timese a day. The steamer is what went bad - making the milk taste burnt. If you are just using it for the espresso, my guess is that it will hold up fine.

Thnaks for your reply about the length of the warranty and that the second one was fine. Does that mean it was in the "new" condition as Amazon states it to be? If so, you should up date your review and maybe the rating?... It would be helpful to know that things turned out OK and to your expectations, with buying a remanufactured machine. ;-) I almost didn't pull the trigger on ordering one, with it only getting a 1 star rating. Thank you for your time in answering my questions. Mine is suppose to ship tomorrow,.. just keeping my fingers crossed.

mine was a few years ago. It was the LAST USA coffee maker. Someone needs to call Bunn. Great people in Illinois, when I got a free new sprayhead. Try that with those other chinese call centers in India

Make sure you can return it if it fails. It did make good coffee while it worked, but I had 2 fail within 6 months before I gave up on it. Check out Bonavita coffe makers - very simple, even lacks a shutoff if you remove the coffee pot when it's brewing, but makes great, hot coffee at ideal brewing temp.

I have same machine. Never had any issues. Only suggestion is to ensure you use quality espresso ground coffee. If that doesn't help return machine.

I had the DCC1200 and it lasted about 4-1/2 years. Went to make coffee last week and it wouldn't brew. All the other programs worked, but not being able to make coffee ended our relationship. Used 1 hour/off setting and never had a problem with overheated or burned coffee. Looking at the 1100 because all my appliances are white.

Wow... what kind of coffee do you use? I have never had that problem but I only make enough coffee to drink at the moment. I know the heating plate on the unit keeps the coffee hot, so if the coffee is just sitting there for a long while then the water will evaporates and the coffee will start to get a burnt overcooked taste but it does not get weak. I have not had a problem with my unit and even gave one out as a present... and that one is working fine.

The carafe did not show up yet. I expect it today (12-1-08). I will repost again based on its arrival. My wife and I shopped for a new pot just in case this does not work and WOW, there is a lot of moving parts on the other models. Mr. Coffee was rated by consumers as a good buy but the people who have bought and used the unit said it is a terrible design. Cuisinart has way to many cheap feeling plastic parts. The newer Melitta unit was also rated low. I sure hope my older Melitta holds out for a while.

I don't have a tried and true answer for you because I have not had a problem. But here are a couple of suggestions to try. Make sure you let it cool down before trying to dump it. Make sure to take it all apart (including the rubber gasket) and cleaning really good at least once a week or maybe more. Make sure you don't put more coffee in than you are supposed too. Make sure it's the right grind of coffee and not espresso grind. Hope you get the problem figured out.

I got one about two years ago. It continues to brew great coffee since day one. There was one time the coffee did not come out right -- weak coffee. Upon investigation -- we forgot to clean the chute. It was clogged big time. Since then we clean the chute more regularly. We love the coffee so much, we brew the coffee several times a day. No problem what so ever other than the one time clogged chute incident. A friend of ours loved our coffeee so much we got one for him as a gift. He has a lot problem with the grind since the first week he got it. To my knowledge he is still having the problem to this day.

We have had so many problems with this machine. We ended up going the replacement route through mail the mail and shipping the first one back. Little to say problem was never resolved. I do not know what to tell you but using the replacement route seemed to be the best way as long as you ship back what they wanted, etc... To Hubby it was comparable as to getting a new one, I didn't though, I didn't like the whole idea of a product not working as it was supposed to. Good luck to you I hope you find peace in what ever path you choose.

Hi Karen,As I understand it, the thing works once. Then the v500 kinda sorta goes "belly up". What happens if you now (assume the machine is "broke" again...) take the solofil, remove the black insert and the strainer cup, replace the lid [I assume you removed the lid to use a k-cup] and close the lid on the solofill, and reinsert the now empty solofill in the machine? And, before trying that, you might try turning off the machine, let it sit 5 minutes, make sure the reservoir is full, and then turn the machine on. When the 'ready' indicator comes up, open the machine's lid, insert the now-empty solofill, close the lid, and press "brew". Still get only 2 oz of water?

I've had my machine for less than a year, and lately also have not been able to get the water to push through the grounds as it always has. I've taken the baskets apart, cleaned all the filters, made an attempt at descaling, and still, the water flow stops at the grounds. My espresso machine's constipated! I'll try what Bill says, but I'm doubtful. I think it may be time already to shell out more money for repair or another model.

After owning this machine for 7 months (had our first for about three years) I'm having the same problem as of this morning. I'm going to try all the tactics that billf recommends. Anyone else rectify the problem?

I have ordered the same coffee and just love it. Are you using bottled water? Are you rinsing your Senseo's pod holder? If you like strong coffee you might want to go back to medium roast. You could also place two pods in the coffee maker - making sure to use the little implement...

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 :(
