Does anyone have the Chocolate Passion and the Cappuccino Amorino recipes? I don't see it on the web page? Also if anyone has any other recipes I would love to see them, thanks.

PogoMocca,
"How could I do less than offer my heartfelt MH to the one whose first Senseo Crema review was the catalyst for Hass MS&L offering us free Senseo machines?"
It is MHost appreciated.
"Sneaky little buggers, Philips made sure the parts could not be swapped between the older and new models - hmmmm... sneaky and smart, too."
Smart? It makes ordering replacement parts more error-prone. But it is interesting to notice the differences and the reasons for them.
Haven't heard anything about the third generation yet. It might be incompatible with both.
> "Of course, your favorite Mocca Gourmet blend is not available on this side of the major pond."
Weird. Oh well, they will surely introduce it soon and then make a big deal out of it, with chances to win a free trip to Holland or something. Just make sure you win so you can go on a Crema buying spree in the local supermarkets.
"Mobi, you rule and you definitely started a trend here in the states."
Me? I am innocent. Sip.
"My hat is off to you and I'm so glad you finally received your Ebony Black Senseo - even without the blue LED. ;)"
The red light is a freakin' scandal.

Dearest MHobi:
How could I do less than offer my heartfelt MH to the one whose first Senseo Crema review was the catalyst for Hass MS&L offering us free Senseo machines?
Sneaky little buggers, Philips made sure the parts could not be swapped between the older and new models - hmmmm... sneaky and smart, too.
Of course, your favorite Mocca Gourmet blend is not available on this side of the major pond. I'm a fan of the Dark blend and will drink any of the other blends if they are free but, the Dark brings out that automatic 'ummmm' sound upon first sip of each cup.
Mobi, you rule and you definitely started a trend here in the states. My hat is off to you and I'm so glad you finally received your Ebony Black Senseo - even without the blue LED. ;)
Love ya,
PogoSip

It is not new anymore. Over the past years more than five million people switched to Senseo. Hardly niche....

This must be a new niche device because I never heard of such a coffee maker, nor have I seen anyone follow the line as if it was a favorite or dream car. :)
VH, IMO.

"not as hideous a sight as one might think, and better than white"
You have clearly been taken ill by some as yet unidentifed but very serious disease which strongly affects any good taste you might have had.
Ah, but Mobi ... free is free. The good taste is the coffee's job, and the outward look of the machine isn't hampering the coffee making in any way. Had I made the color choice myself, a black Senseo would sit on my counter top.
I didn't have that kind of good fortune, but I did get a perfectly-functioning product.
Just hit the button and let 'er hum. :)

I'm so sorry! I wish I could! I read your editioral telling me how to do it and it didn't work for me. That's strange though because I rated the editioral "most" helpful way back when. I don't know why it won't work now. *sniff sniff* I'm sorry!

michiman1,

I am sorry, but I don't visit scientifically backward countries regularly enough to know such things by heart.

I'm so blue ... (Reply to this comment)
by mind-full
or at least, my Senseo is glaringly so.
Yes, it's bright, but you can't land planes with it, at least as far as I know. Yet, the blue color (not as hideous a sight as one might think, and better than white) does allow a person to find the coffee maker with relative ease in the early morning hours when the eyes aren't functioning well yet.
Black is a nicer color, but beggars can't be choosers, nor am I one to look a gift horse in the mouth. :)

Lor of Usher,
"... if I hadn't already distributed an MH to Pogosenseo, you'd have had mine, for sure."
Surely that's PogoMHommy to you?
"You keep things interesting in such a unique fashion."
All this praise.
I think I'm gonna cry.
Snif.
"I'm Ravenous for another one of these marvelous machines!"
We could create a third generation wish list.
Here's a start:
- available in a choice of Raven Black, Ultra Black and Utterly Deep Dark Black
- cool blue LEDs only
- turns on when you come near
- accepts voice commands from owner
- flow regulator no longer hidden, but advertised as feature
- shorter spout allows even bigger mugs
- completely autocleaning
- direct tap connection (no more water reservoir)
- accepts a stack of coffee pads
- integrated Senseo coffee cup dispenser
- comes with complimentary industrial Coffee Pad creation machine (a 50.000 Euro value)
"My retinas are doing fine, though."
That's what you think.

PPerky1954,
"I laughed when I read "serious danger to the health of your retinas" on the blue color. Apparently an uchy shade of blue."
Bright. Extremely bright. Painfully so.
"I need one of these for my mom, since it turns itself off."
Great excuse for great coffee.

Senseational! (Reply to this comment)
by lorace, in Home and Garden
Loved this, Mobi, and if I hadn't already distributed an MH to Pogosenseo, you'd have had mine, for sure.
Thanks for all the links. You keep things interesting in such a unique fashion.
I'm Ravenous for another one of these marvelous machines! My retinas are doing fine, though.
Thanks, MobiSen.
Quoth the Raven, Evermore!

Hi there Mobi! (Reply to this comment)
by PPerky1954
I laughed when I read "serious danger to the health of your retinas" on the blue color. Apparently an uchy shade of blue.
I need one of these for my mom, since it turns itself off. Sometimes I leave her house and forget to turn off the coffee and have to dash back to turn it off (she is bedridden).
VN Review.
