May mean the quality is lacking, but I would not know. I mean packaged or not, I still love me some international snacks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never use the Senseo brand coffee pads though. I like other brands more. Edited September 22, 2022 by Sid Nagy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sid Nagy Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 (edited) In NL it is sold as Senseo, a joined project by Philips and Douwe Egberts (the oldest still existing coffee blenders from our country). It is their invention (at least they claim that here) But other brands make the pads and coffee machines too now a days. But it is the same as with the word fridge in the USA where the brand name became a general used name in NL. This is the machine type I use. One can make a traditional pot of filter coffee with it too: Edited September 22, 2022 by Sid Nagy 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems reasonable to me. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda want to try their coffee now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love Zhaoying Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 The "pads" look a lot more environmentally friendly than "pods" (although you can also fill your own reusable "pods"). I think that I had a "pad" machine years before the "pods" became pre-eminent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid Nagy Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 (edited) Some of those pads were made with a percentage of plastic in them, so one had to be careful to trough them on the compost pile. Since 2021 the pads are made 100% out of paper and they can be mixed with the rests of veggies and fruits and 100% recycled. Peeve: OMG, tomorrow it is Friday already.

Cinnamon Mistwood Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Peeve: armchair moderators and not just here. People announcing "this thread should be closed" when the tool to report is right there. Like they have the authority to tell others what should be closed or what is inappropriate. It's not up to us and never was. Totally forum related, but I see this inworld as well. Just AR and move on. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammy Huntsman Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 My peeve and yes I get why they do it. But creators who charge for demos. I don't know about you guys, but I don't want my redelivery page overwhelmed with demos from stores. It is kinda annoying. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a problem with them expressing themselves, they can do whatever they want. My peeve is about them shaming men who do act in a masculine manner, and proclaim that their manner to act is the morally correct one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are referring to me I never said that the thread should be closed but this thread has now become a "catch all" for anything that if posted somewhere else would get deleted or closed. It is no longer a peeve thread. I'm sorry if you don't like my opinion but I'm allowed to have one.

There's a saying, "Fish or cut bait". If someone is "cutting bait", then they aren't "fishing"! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
