Senseo vs Nespresso

You use pads for making coffee with a Senseo appliance. With such a coffee pad you put a cup of filter coffee. The coffee pad consists of a package of special filter paper containing about 7 grams of ground coffee. With 1 pad you put 1 cup of coffee, which is prepared under a low pressure of 1 bar. The water flows so slowly through the coffee. This makes the coffee a milder taste and you get the same effect as when you make coffee with a filter device. A cup of Senseo coffee is already set for € 0.12.

• Filter coffee
• Coffee with a mild taste
• Limited choice in flavors
• € 0.12 per cup

With a Nespresso machine, you make coffee with a cup. A cup contains coffee from freshly ground beans and is then sealed airtight. This keeps the coffee fresh and preserves its taste. The Nespresso system prepares the coffee under a high pressure of 19 bar, whereby hot water presses through the cup with a lot of pressure. So you put an espresso or lungo with a full aroma and creates a firm crema layer on your coffee. Nespresso has a lot of choices in coffee flavors. Making 1 cup of coffee with a Nespresso cup costs € 0.37.

• Espresso and lungo
• Coffee with full taste
• Wide choice in flavors
• € 0.37 per cup

You put 2 cups of coffee together with a Senseo machine. This is useful when you often have visitors on the floor, because then your guests do not have to wait that long. To make coffee, place the coffee pad in a pod holder, which you then put back into the machine. Here you get 2 of them; for making 1 or 2 cups of coffee. Push the lever down and press the button. After each preparation you throw the used coffee pad in the trash. A Senseo machine does not have extra functions or settings in most cases.

With a Nespresso machine you put 1 cup of coffee at a time. Place the cup in the machine and push the handle down. A nice cup of coffee is ready within a short time. The cups end up in a removable drip tray after brewing. An average of 10 cups will fit in here. Once the collection bin is full, you empty it in the trash. The coffee volume is adjustable in advance, so that you decide how much water the machine uses when putting an espresso or lungo. In this way you set the flavor intensity of your cup of coffee.

• Automatic collection of used cups

Senseo has a device that allows you to put a cappuccino or latte macchiato at the touch of a button; the Senseo Latte Duo. This coffee machine has an integrated milk container that allows you to easily place multiple milk specialties in succession, or even 2 at a time. In addition, Senseo offers the possibility of a milk pad. Such a milk pad is filled with milk powder and works the same as a normal coffee pad. The taste of such a cappuccino can not be compared to a cappuccino that you put with fresh milk.

• Choice of one type of milk frothing method

With a Nespresso machine with an integrated milk container, you can put a cappuccino or latte macchiato at the touch of a button. A machine with separate milk frother automatically foams the milk.
