Rating: - Dont give up, they do work really GREAT!!
I bougth these a few years ago and tried them but didnt get a tight fit due to me not trying hard or practice. I now know the secret is in the seal, I pretend its a lid on a soda and I wont use the pod unless the lid is snapped on tight, I use my two hands pressing all the way around and it seals tight! I use both of them in the morning, they are a little hard to use wet but I have done it with no problems.. I have them filled up and ready to go for my strong coffee! Like I said I bought them and didnt really come to grips how to use them. SOOOOO HAPPY I tired it again, I will spread the word of ... Read More

Negative is that filling it is a little tedious.
The positive is it still gives a good and even a little foamy (like the purchase pods) 1/2 cup (Senseo 1/2 cup setting) of coffee.
I like to make a 1/2 cup of my Kona Coffee and 1/2 cup of different flavoured purchased pod coffee.
Enjoy!
Rating: - Works great with a little prep
This is a great add-on for the Senseo, as many others have noted.
You get the best results if you have your own grinder or if you have access to finely ground coffee (e.g. espresso grind). Store-bought ground coffee from Dunkin' Donuts or Starbucks turns out ok but not fantastic--in my opinion because the grind is too coarse. I haven't experimented a ton yet, but I can report that plain old Bustelo espresso from the supermarket gives you a nice cup using the ecopad.
One tip I haven't seen mentioned: Occasionally after using the ecopad you'll open the machine and find a ... Read More
Rating: - Takes a little know how, but they work well!
These come in a two pack, and sit in the two pod holder provided with the standard Senseo brewer. My wife and I both like the idea that they also come from the Netherlands, which is where the Phillips Senseo coffee brewer comes from. The cost is very reasonable, especially when you buy as many of the pods as we have. (Less than $10) After giving them a gentle wash in running hot water, they are ready to use right from the bag. Don't be worried about the packaging they come in, it looks cheap - but they are really very well made.
To fill, you just pop the filter top, add coffee to the ... Read More
Rating: - Good coffee
We can now make our own coffee pods for our Senseo coffee maker using our terrific freshly roasted, freshly ground coffee. These pods work so well for us.....absolutely no mess (we had tried a couple of other do-it-yourself pods....ugh!) and the "crema" is lovely. I'd recommend these to anyone who wants to have a choice when it comes to a good cup of coffee. We buy our coffee from a local coffee house where they roast in-house. Now our coffee is fresh and we know where it came from and which growers are fair-trade, organic, etc.
