This is a very easy, quick way to soft serve ice cream. It uses simple ingredients and my kids loved it. It does melt very quickly, so you may need to set it in the freezer to harden up a bit. I did have a slight problem getting all the ice cream off the sides of the bowl, as it tends to freeze to the sides. Very easy clean-up. I recommend this if your looking for pure ice cream with no perservatives.

This machine is absolutely fabulous. I picked this up after a friend of mine told me he had just picked the same machine up. After making 3 batches of ice cream I can now state positively, that this machine makes some GREAT ice cream. I made vanilla, strawberry and chocolate all from the included recipe book and each was delicious.

The only negative I can say about the machine is that is is a little bit loud, but that's really my only complaint. It cleans in a snap (rinse the ice cream residue out with warm water and toss the bowl back into the freezer). Also, the machine has a nice appearance and looks great on the counter.

If your hesitant, or worried that the ice cream will not come out like the stuff you buy in the supermarket, please rest assured that it's the real deal. The only problem is deciding what to make next!

Get this and you won't be disappointed. Great machine!

It's the good tasting cappuccino I've ever had, it does taste nice but not like any other cappuccino I've ever tasted. It's very sweet and strong tasting and creamy. I don't see it being on the market for the past six months I feel very bad about that. Keep drinking it, you have a long way to go.

This makes a nice cappuccino. Don't compare it to your local barrista carefully preparing a $5.00 cup for you. At about .35 per cup and the convenience of pushing one button and waiting 30 seconds, this is a very nice and extremely convenient drink.

I lived in Italy for a few years. I miss the real thing but once I adjusted my expectations, I really do enjoy this a lot.

When I first read these reviews, I was concerned with the wide disparity between the ratings. This caused me to go to my local Target store and pick up a 10-pack for about $4.00. I figured if the negative reviews were right, buying just 10 instead of the 40 pods you have to buy on Amazon, I wouldn't have an excess inventory of coffee pods on my hands.

Well, guess what, I like this flavor. I've tried all the Senseo flavored pods and I like this one the best. A couple of caveats, if you drink coffee black then be prepared for having a creamer-based substance in your coffee. I drink coffee both ways so this wasn't a problem for me. Second, MAKE SURE YOU PUSH THE SINGLE SERVING BUTTON . . .I noticed some of the negative reviews saying this flavor tasted watery . .well, I'm wondering if they pushed the two button serving instead of the one button serving . . .The only reason I'm suggesting this may be an issue is that this pod requires the TWO pod HOLDER even though it is a SINGLE serving. Hope this makes sense.

In summary, this flavor is pretty good. I'm having a cup now, and I suspect I'll be ordering the 40 pack from Amazon real soon.

The only drawback on this coffee maker is where you pour the water in. It would be an easier design if it were positioned in the front corner. That being said, the features of this coffee maker make it an excellent and useful machine. The programmable timer makes life ever so much easier, and the auto shut-off is a godsend. The styling is sleek and fits well into any kitchen that may have black or stainless appliances. The timer also being *above* the coffee delivery system make this machine less prone to being 'shorted' out. I love the beeps when the brewing cycle is finished too!

Great value for the money!

This coffeemaker performs very well overall. The only downside is the carafe's pour spout which spills if you pour too fast. Otherwise good deal.

I bought this for my wife as well as my daughter and granddaughter who are living with us at the moment. They're all quite happy with it.

This is my seconds cuisinart 7 cup food processor that I've purchased from Amazon. You get the deluxe kit with more attachments at the same prices as the non-deluxe sells for in department stores. I can do almost anything with this and 7 cups is definitely large enough unless you are using it professionally. This one is a gift to a friend and I'm sure she'll love it.

I cook for two people and this food processor is just the right size for that. I use it to slice, shredd, mix, chop, make dough (around 2 cups) and it works just fine. For dough, add water slowly and don't add more than two and half cups of flour at a time.

As far as I know, the breadmaker itself works fine, but the manual to the machine has many inconsistencies. For instance, in the beginning of the book it says the bread pan is dishwasher safe. Later, it says it isn't. The recipes are all wrong too. Mostly on the yeast amounts. For instance, the recipe will call for more yeast on a 1.5 pound loaf than for a 2 pound loaf of the same bread. I have been in contact with Sunbeam regarding this and I was told that they are aware of the problems with the manual but have chosen not to rewrite a manual at this time. Later another employee told me they are working on it. I took mine back to Walmart today and am on Amazon shopping for another brand. I would not buy this machine. As I said, I think the machine is probably fine, but you need a decent manual to give you instructions on use and care of the machine as well as recipes that are reliable.

I just got this machine and I've made 3 loaves of bread so far. The second one wasn't the best of all, but I manage to come up with a good recipe for 5 grain bread. Do not hesitate to get this machine. Unfortnately, you can't rely on the manual. Get a good recipe book. I love this machine. Fresh bread, you can't beat it.

I loved my new bread machine a lot, so far it works great for my need, I baked almost 2 or three times a week with it, every load comes out great, with it's inexpensive price compare to the other models in the market,I feel I got the real value. I enjoyed it a lot.

These coffee pods are rich and flavorful and make a really delicious cup of coffee.They are excellent.I also have discovered the many different favored coffee that Senseo Douwe Egberts makes and enjoy trying them for different occasions.

I have never had a food processor before, thinking that they take too much time for the effort involved in using them. Nevertheless, I purchased my Cuisinart 14-cup brushed chrome model DFP-14BC based on recommendations from Amazon, and LOVE it!

It is very, very easy to use. It comes with a DVD which I watched and replayed pertinent sections to make sure that I understood how to use it. There are also recipes on the DVD, but I was watching it just to figure out how to use the appliance and how not to hurt myself.

I like the locking mechanism feature. I have used my Cuisinart 14-cup brushed chrome model DFP-14BC about 10 times. Sometimes when I'd go to use it, it would not engage or turn on---this was because I had done something wrong or unsafe and I was GLAD that it didn't work. I am getting the hang of it and am very glad that it has the level of safety that it does.

I debated between buying this model or an inexpensive ($50 or so) model. I am glad that I purchased the Cuisinart DFP-14BC because it is easy to learn to use, easy to use, easy to clean, and I know that I will have it for a while, as opposed to an inexpensive model that would perform in a limited fashion and then be discarded in a few years.

It looks beautiful on my countertop when I'm not using it. I bought a wicker basket that I keep the attachments in out-of-sight so that the appliance stands on its own as a permanent fixture in my kitchen. It is beautiful, quiet, easy to use, and great for a beginner like me. I am quite pleased with this purchase!

I purchased this a while back to replace a different model that was almost 25 years old . I am so pleased with this purchase. It is everything that I expected it to be and more.

Even though I primarily cook for a two-person household I purchased the 14-cup model. I have not had any problem with the machine being too large to perform the tasks I needed it to handle. The machine is large enough to make white bean dip from one pound of dry white beans without exceeding its capacity. I have also used the machine to make 2 pounds of whole-wheat pasta dough with room to spare. It is also nice to make large batches of base for gazpacho.

I love the size and heft of this machine. It is nice to not be concerned about exceeding the machines capacity or mechanical limit.

I highly recommend this machine to anyone that loves to cook. Once you have it, you will find so many uses for it that you had not anticipated. This machine is used at least 5 days a week in my home.

I am now on my second Senseo and as of today, this one also bites the dust. I got my first one for Christmas in 2004 and if I buy another one, that will be 3 in 2 yrs. I do not know the problem, but this coffee maker does not seem to be too sturdy as for as longivity.

This machine is easy to use, and makes great coffee, using either the Senseo brand pods, Folger's , or Gevalia. I had a Gevalia pod machine that quit, so I ordered the Senseo. My Bunn coffeemaker went on the fritz the day after I received the Senseo, and we had company for a week. I showed everyone how to use the machine, and we had no problems having enough coffee. My only complaint is that the stock reservoir is too small. I'm going to order the larger one.

As a coffee lover, I enjoy a good strong cup of coffee. The Senseo makes one cup at a time (or 2), quickly. It foams the coffee, and has a creamy texture.

I am not really happy with the D. Egberts coffee, it is simply too weak. I get pods made by Wolfgang Puck.

Try one, you'll like it. Goodbye to expensive cups from you know where in the morning.

As this is to be a wedding gift in the fall, we have not opened the carton and cannot review the cookware set.

I was so excited with the pans when I first bought them (as it came with tons of promises and hype) but after three years of use I'm quiet disappointed. At first I thought it was my fault. I tried to baby the pots as much as I could but nothing worked (I followed the instructions very well). Everything burns when I use them especially the frypans / skillets burns stuff right away. They are very hard to clean (believe me I tried). If you want quality stuff try All Clad or Faberware (if you want something cheaper) but stay away from this set.

Ups:
-They are decent pans, looks great when you first take them out.
-They are sturdy and I use metal utensils to cook, I like that.
-The attached aluminum plate in the bottom helps spread and retain heat, if your stove isn't that powerful.

Downs:
-I like to sear and stir fry a lot with hot pans, so they will discolor a little with heat. Overheated oil will cause black oil spots on the pan that are hard to remove.
-You need the pan to be hot so that it doesn't stick, and you will need to use a little more oil than typical. If you don't do either of these, your non-greasy food WILL stick to the pan.
-The aluminum plate takes some time to heat up.
-The aluminum plate reduces the responsiveness of "lowering the flames" on your stove. Less control.

What this set needs:
Large Pan
Non-stick omlette pan
Wok

I love this very much, the unique feature of this product is that this is avaible in bold and robust flavor, which gives nice aroma and richness in taste. I am very glad that these kind of products are avaible in the market.

I love the dark roast!!! Especially with fat free half and half. My son loves the vanilla but dark roast is for me. With that creamy layer on top and fat free half and half it's like dessert!

I love this coffee, I use it at work. No mess, and good without cream
