Sense disappointment

Sense disappointment, originally uploaded by Peru Tha Damaja.

Last week at the auction for my local food bank there was a Philips Senseo up for grabs. There was a magical combination: I’m a sucker for gadgets, a miserable coffee addict, and the bidding was below cost so I went for it. This morning I had my first cup from it and am not won over. The pod system means it’s convenient to set up and clean but also means you can’t really choose your coffee and you’re locked into the proprietary setup, so that’s a mixed bag but you don’t quite know how it’ll work out until you try the coffee.

Ugh.

But the money went to a good cause!  And I’ll just cross my fingers that the cappuccino is better.
