«Disappointed»
I purchased Timothy's World Coffee because I liked the idea (and ease of clean-up) of the pods. I have a Black and Decker one cup coffee maker (also purchased on Amazon.com last year) which can be a little bit of a pain to clean when using regular ground coffee (although it makes a great cup of coffee!). You have to use 2 pods to get a decent strength otherwise the coffee comes out pretty weak. Great concept (just like in fine hotels) but needs some work on the end result.

«no problems with senseo»
i've burned through about 40 of these pods now and had no problems with the senseo at all. i use the single pod holder, and brew a double cup. admittedly it is a tight fit, but my unit has never leaked or burst open or anything. perhaps there is some variance in the senseos themselves... i'm flabbergasted by all of the other reviews that say to use the double pod holder--that would not work at all with mine!
the coffee itself is pretty good. i've found better tasting pods out there, but for the price these are hard to beat, especially when a single pod gives you the double cup! (the 8 oz cup)
EDIT: The Parisian Nights work great in my senseo, but the other variety i tried--"Rainforest Espresso"--is more temperamental. they seem a little puffier. Even though i like the rainforest flavor a bit more, i'd recommending sticking with this variety if you have a senseo.

«a tasty, flavorful cup of coffee»
I like dark-roasted, full-flavor coffee. I ground my beans and used a Braun coffee maker with a mesh filter for many years. But for the past six months I have been using a Philips Senseo to make my coffee, and Timothy's Parisian Nights is my favorite flavor. I have tried dark roast coffees from several makers and this one is hands down the best. However, the pods are not well made -- I have never had a box (25 pods per box) that has not had at least one defective pod, and it's usually two per box. And the pods need to be wetted a bit in order for the Senseo to handle them (I don't know about other coffee makers). But, in the final analysis, the inconvenience is worth because the coffee is rich and delicious.
