Better than the Senseo is the new Tassimo machine. Similar disk/pod system, but there is no "every-cup" cleanup required, makes coffee, tea, hot chocolate, etc and it makes real lattes and caps with actual milk (no powders). Cheaper and easier than starbucks (but not as cheap as drip). I just got one for home and it's pretty nice. Downside is disks are just becoming available as the machine comes out here in the US.
