hey does anyone know where i could get a senseo machine? do they even have them here in hong kong? i need my coffee!!

While I suggest to buy a Moka or Brikka Bialetti for preparing a good coffee and to read this, you can try to call Elements HB at 23772919 and check if they have a shop where they sell their machine.
I understood that probably Philips is not producing Senseo anymore.

blasphemy!

i think my senseo machine is the only thing i miss from back in the states. oh that and cups/tablespoons etc.

Then ask someone in the States to send it by post to you. Probably it's easier.

Good luck!

Studies have found that drinking large amounts of coffee by the French Press method increases LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels, while filtered, percolated, and drip coffee does not.
Moka, moka, moka....

Yeah, they indicate using a paper filter is the healthiest possible method. You do lose some flavor this way though.

Yesterday at Shanghai Carrefour I've noticed Senseo paper bags.
I think there is hope that you will find the machine in HK or China.

In Italy we don't use paper filters, but the process of making coffee is quite fast with Moka and Espresso machine, so it's still healthy.
