Free Senseo – $ 15 Shipping
Posted on 07 April 2008, at 7:16 am, by Wayne Schulz
Since not everyone wants to spend $129 for a coffee maker like the Keurig Ultra B50 that we just reviewed, I’ll show you the way that I scored a free Senseo coffee maker. The Senseo is a cheaper version of the Keurig and uses pods which resemble teabags that you place into a similar coffee chamber. They’ve been giving these away to people who qualify for at least two years. What are the qualifications? Do you have $15 for shipping? Do you have a pulse? Do you have a credit card to pay for the $15 in shipping? Congratulations you qualify. Keep reading to learn how to collect the free Senseo.
I applied for a free Senseo about two years ago. Within a week of submitting my name online at the Senseo site, they sent me an email congratulating me on receiving a free machine. All I needed to do was follow the link, pay $15 in shipping and my Senseo would be on my way.
I was a bit skeptical but paid the shipping costs. Soon the coffee maker showed up on my doorstep.
Here’s the site to submit your information. There is a short multiple choice section where they ask about your coffee drinking habits. Don’t worry I think everyone passes that quiz.

What? You don’t have to join a coffee club? I’ll try it…

I don’t have a Senseo, but I have a Black and Decker Home Cafe and it’s awesome. I wouldn’t mind having a Senseo as sometimes their pods are easier to find.
Judie:
You might like a Home Cafe system as it has Latte Pods!

Hey, I have a ridiculous espresso/coffee machine, but I had to get this one. $15 to try something I have been wondering about was an offer I couldn’t refuse. If I hate it, Sarah might want it in her apartment.

So do I but I can’t afford to buy a pound of good espresso beans nor can I drink that pound by myself before it’s stale.
This, like my Home Cafe, works wonderfully and let’s me have coffee quicker than waiting for a full pot PLUS the pot won’t go stale since I am the only one who drinks it.

I have a few of these (gave one to a neighbor, one at home, one at work). They are pretty good, and the price is good too (not as good as I got = mine were free).
http://www.SingleServeCoffee.com has a ton of details on this and other single serve coffee brewers; including a bunch of places to get pods;
I also found a place (on eBay) that sells pod holders, so I fill them with my own coffee (save a little $ on the pods).
I had an inexpensive espresso machine, which I used every morning. Then I got two Senseo’s (one for me, one for my wife) and moved the espresso machine into storage and use the Senseo exclusively (we do have a big pot in case we need to make a whole pot at once).
The deal is really based on you indicating in the questionnaire that you will make a reasonable attempt to share your enjoyment of this machine with others.
Enjoy!!!

I ditched my senseo a couple of years ago, and bought a decent espresso maker (a Francis Francis X1 by Illy).
Senseo is fun for a while, but after a while you’ll get bored with it’s taste. Every single cup of coffee has the same taste.

I have some good coffee, but I don’t use the Senseo pods (I really don’t like them). There are plenty of on-line sources (like BetterCoffee.com) for good coffee with great variety.
I have been using EcoPods (eBay) and some espresso from the local ethnic product mart, sometimes some Hawaiian and other coffee from Costco. I keep enjoying it, especially since the alternative is the coffee in the cafeteria (which is like $1.20 for so-so coffee, or about $2.?? for Starbuck’s non-barista (cafeteria) coffee).
I know it is not what I was getting from my espresso machine, but I couldn’t have an espresso machine here at work, and it is also a LOT easier to make and clean up.

I got mine yesterday, unpacked it today, an hey – not bad! I have a friend over at the house right now that wants me to get the same deal for them if I can. heh.

Wow that was QUICK!
Hey Wayne or Judie…
Have you fixed a cup a of tea after a cup of ciffee and vice versa? I am wondering if the coffee flavors the tea and the tea the coffee??
April 11th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
Joel, it looks like there is a separate hardware filter system that you insert to use with tea, versus coffee, so I don’t think it would flavor anything.
To be safe, I suppose you could also run a water cycle through it like you do when you use it the first time.

I’ve made tea after coffee (a few times), to rinse things out I just made a single cup of plain water. Tossed that, and put a regular tea bag in the single pod holder. Works like a charm.
April 11th, 2008 at 2:08 pm
Oh, the two different pod holders are for regulr sized, and double sized pods. Also, the EcoPod I use was designed for the double pod holder.
If you put something too small in the double pod holder, the water runs around the pod and you get a very weak cup of coffee or tea. So, only use the double if you are using something that fills it.

uzziah0, were the different colored pod holder/filter things they show in the brochure just for differently colored Senseo units then?
April 11th, 2008 at 2:25 pm
My pod holder with my blue unit (here at work) is dark blue, almost black.
I think the one at home is black, and that is a black unit.
I am not sure about the other colors; and I didn’t see that in the brochier.
You should have gotten two pod holders with your Senseo, the single has one coffee mug on the handle, the double has two mugs on the handle.
April 11th, 2008 at 2:32 pm
I did, thanks for clarifying what they were for, because of course I haven’t yet read the instructions.
April 11th, 2008 at 2:34 pm
Here’s an idea that might work in my house….I’ll always make double coffee and make single teas!
Or…..just order up another single pod holder from the factory.
Judie: I thought it was us men who never read the instructions!
April 11th, 2008 at 2:35 pm
I figure if I have to read the instructions, then the product is poorly made.
April 11th, 2008 at 2:36 pm
Stupid question….what color have you all got? Black? Blue?
April 11th, 2008 at 2:37 pm
Mine is black.
April 11th, 2008 at 2:45 pm
Cool. Well, I am getting one next week.
April 11th, 2008 at 2:48 pm
You could always “try” for a second one to make your tea in (just use a different e-mail address).
April 11th, 2008 at 2:50 pm
(said very quietly) I was thinking about doing that so I could get an extra one to go upstairs.
The do come with five $20 off coupons to give to your friends, so depending on what their retail price is, it might be a similar cost to buy one locally.
April 11th, 2008 at 3:06 pm
Last time I looked they were $65.
[I got my first one with my e-mail address, my name and home address;
the second with my wife's e-mail, name and our home address;
the third with my name, my work e-mail, and home address;
this was back when they didn't charge for shipping/
...I gave one of these to a neighbor, so I'm not hogging 3,
one at home, one at work.]

I’m in the UK but they let me pay via UK paypal as long as I was shipping to a US address (my almost-in-laws got the Senseo). Just in case anyone is wondering whether this could work as a cheap gift!
