(NewsUSA) - Getting prepared for the holiday season can become an undertaking of epic proportions. From selecting the right gifts and decorations to planning and preparing the big family meal, there are many components that go into creating a holiday season you'll remember for years to come.

One of the biggest holiday components, however, seems to be coffee. According to a recent survey by The SENSEO Coffee System, 43 percent of respondents indicated that a good cup of coffee is an important part of a holiday meal. Additionally, 54 percent believe that serving flavored coffee makes guests feel special and contributes to their enjoyment of a holiday get-together.

Great coffee can be more than just a pick-me-up -; it can put an exclamation point on a meal or an entire occasion. Whether it's a particular flavor or the fact that it's gourmet, offering exotic coffee shows guests that the host has taken extra steps to put on a perfect meal. And while gourmet coffees are popular, not every flavor is right for every coffee drinker. To make the right cup of holiday coffee for every guest, SENSEO gourmet coffee offers multiple flavor options -; including four original roasts and flavors that deliver a specialized, indulgent beverage that's perfect for chilly evenings around a warm fire. Just in time for the holidays, the new SENSEO Barista Blends flavor packs are available in vanilla latte, café mocha and caramel macchiato -; and can be added to the mug before brewing for a customizable taste.

"The survey told us that 52 percent of respondents would be interested in being able to brew a single cup of coffee of their favorite flavor," said Philippe Schaillee, spokesperson for SENSEO. "The SENSEO Coffee System and all of the coffee varieties offer something for every palate when entertaining guests this holiday season and make it easy for the host as there are no messy grounds to clean up."

With SENSEO's unique coffee pod system, a single serving of fresh gourmet coffee is available at the touch of a button -; making it easy to brew a cup for a last-minute holiday houseguest. Gourmet coffee is a practical indulgence, and one that consumers can enjoy every day or reserve for sharing with special guests during the holidays.
