Bad news for UK Senseo fans - anyone waiting for the new Cappuccino blend to come out here will be waiting in vain, as although the blend is still being advertised on new packets of Senseo and on the Senseo machine boxes, it has been discontinued here since summer.
The reason given to me was that consumers in the UK prefer to use their own fresh milk to make coffee and found that to be more economical. A shame - but Senseo's customer relations pointed out you can make your own version by heating a small amount of milk and sugar in a cup in the microwave, before placing it under your Senseo machine to make a kind of cappuccino.
After having tried the Cappuccino pods I imported, I can't see much to rave about - although they are handy, the powdered milk and sugar combo probably doesn't mesh well with people's ideas about the Senseo being the source of gourmet-style guilty pleasures sipped lustily in the kitchen by women in party frocks and heavy makeup...
