QUESTION:
Gevalia coffee/tea pods in Senseo Pod Machine?
I just signed up for the ShareSenseo Pod Machine promotion. Will these Gevalia coffee pods I have work in this Senseo Pod Machine?-
ANSWER:
They are all adaptable to any pod style coffee maker, then it is a matter of taste, I was a member of the Gevalia Coffee club back in the 1980's, I got a coffee maker with it, I love it and can find it here in Canada, I live in Toronto and we are very cosmopolitan so I have my choice of places, I like the dark morning roast, Swedish coffee like most Eurpoean style is a bit headier and stronger, but more flavourful than most North America brands.Enjoy you will be very surprise how much nicer they are, and will most likely switching to them all the time.

QUESTION:
Where can I buy hot chocolate pods for a Phillips Senseo coffee machine?
I have recently purchased a Phillips Senseo coffee machine and I was wondering where I could buy the hot chocolate pods for the machine. I had a look on the internet and I found websites that sell them but the shipping fees were absolutely horrendous. I am hoping one of the supermarkets such as Sainsburys, Asda or Tesco stock them. Thanks-
ANSWER:
I've never seen them in stores. They do sell one Godiva Chocolate coffee pod. It has just the slightest chocolate taste and is quite nice.Another option is buying one of the refillable pods and then buying any brand of coffee and using it in the pod. I just ordered one of these and looking forward to trying all the flavours I've missed out on since they don't make pods in those flavours for Senseo.
Question, though, why don't you just buy regular instant hot cocoa? There's some really nice ones out there and to make it you just microwave a mug of water and then add the mix. There's a particular yummy one I discovered last Christmas by Land o Lakes. They have little bits of chocolate in the mix and it's rich and chocolatey http://www.coffeerocket.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=LOLCCV

QUESTION:
Are there any hot chocolate pods for or compatible to the Senseo Single-Serve Coffee Machine?
I just bought a Senseo machine and I know that there are coffee, cappuccino, and tea pods for this machine. However, I LOVE hot chocolate and I was wondering if I would be able to make any with my new machine?-
ANSWER:
Never as good! we have a coffee maker at work that does several sorts of coffee (no tea, but it does give you hot water to put the tea-bag in) and hot chocolate, but I definitely prefer the homemade stuff. Just put a mug of milk in the microwave (a minute or two til it's good and hot, depending on the "strength") and plunk in some dark chocolate and a sweetener (sugar or honey depending on what you like - I usually use honey before bedtime and sugar in daytime).Don't do it with the Senseo even if you do find the pods!
Speaking of hot chocolate, I'm going to make me some! Thanks for reminding me!
"Hello, I'm Jo and I'm a chocoholic" LOL

QUESTION:
Is it possible to make yourown coffee "pods" -for the Pillips Senseo machine? if so, how?-
ANSWER:
Good luck on the Senseo machine but I like to use Senseo pads in my espresso machine (which has a built in metal "filter") because they're so tidy. I don't need them since it comes with that metal device. Maybe you can search for a metal "trap" that will work similarly to a tea/ infusion ball?
