Rating: - Great addition
I have been using this for over 1 month now. It has been a great addition to the Senseo. The first time I used it I had problems, but now it works great. I can adjust the strength of the coffee, and it is a lot cheaper than using pods. The only thing that I miss about the pods is the cleanup. Yes, the cleanup is a little messier than using pods, but a price I'm willing to pay. The first time that I used it I got coffee grounds and coffee all over the counter. This was due to the fact that all of the water doesn't get out of the holder like it does when using the pod system. Like I said, a small ... Read More

I bought one of these & am well satisfied with it. So much more economical than buying pods! I get whole bean coffee & set my coffee grinder to the espresso setting & get a great tasting cup of coffee with lots of crema. Highly recommend the coffeeduck.
Rating: - leaks, no crema, messy to prepare/clean
tried filling it with coarse ground, fine ground, filling it 1/4 full, 1/2 full, full, and even empty(!). it leaks all the time. the resulting cup obviously varies depending on fill level of the ground coffee, but there is never any crema. it is way clumsier than the pods, anyone that thinks it isn't is crazy, maybe i'm a klutz but i always spill ground coffee when i try to fill it.
i think i got ripped off, buyer beware.

All the reviews scared me...LOL. I have been very happy w/the purchase however. I don't have problems w/leaking so long as I am careful not to get the grounds out of the pod area. :) Works for me just fine!!
Rating: - It Works, but needs a lot of fine tuning
When trying this out the first few times I was very disapointed that with a coarse ground coffee it simply makes coffee flavored water.
After tinkering with some fine ground coffee (as the directions suggest) it brewed a much better tasting cup, however the two cup button for some reason only yeilded 1 cup of coffee.
Cleaning is a lot messiear than with the pods, but does rinse clean relativly easily.
If you really like your own coffee, this is a good option to try, however for the same effort level I almost like my own made pods with a coffee filter.
