Perfect Pod Coffee Pod Maker + Replacment Coffee Filters Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this little machine after spending a fortune (.50) for each 8 oz. cup of coffee using the Senseo coffee pods. This Pod Maker is marvelous! Not only does it make pods using whatever coffee you like, it makes pods for an 8 oz. cup of coffee! Senseo pods only make a 4 oz. cup of coffee, so you have to use two pods if you want to have a decent size cup of joe. You fill the pod, fold over its top over the coffee, and then seal the pod in 2 to 3 seconds with the pod maker. Incredibly simple. I also have used the Ecopads, which are great also. However, you have to empty and clean the Ecopads each time you use them. It also takes 2 Ecopads to make 8 oz. of coffee. The Perfect Pod Coffee Pod Maker is the better choice.

Perfect Pod Maker Deluxe Coffee and Tea Pod Maker ( New Upgraded Model) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this awhile ago. It does work well and for the reviewers that are saying they are having a problem with it sealing, they are doing something wrong. You have to be very careful when filling the pods with the coffee. You cannot get any coffee in the area where it will get sealed otherwise it will not seal properly. This product does, in fact work very well. But, the cost of the filters and the shipping is crazy. Don't waste your money on this. I learned my lesson. Get the Coffeeduck. You pay once and do not have to invest in filters. Works very well, still get the great cream and rich flavor of your own coffee.

Coffeeduck Classic: Permanent Refillable Coffee Filter for the Senseo models HD7810-HD7819 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Having tried eco-pads and the Presto, this is the best yet!
Too much water bypasses the coffee with the eco-pads, and they are a PITA to clean by comparison. The water flow is too fast with the Presto, not having the restrictor orifice to slow things down and allow enough contact time with the coffee. Plus you have to buy or make your own filter papers to boot! It's correct contact time, water temperature and passing the brewed coffee at pressure through an orifice that gives you the good crema, somewhat similar a true espresso maker.
Clean up is quick, if only somewhat more messy than pods, but way more economical in the long run than buying pods or pod filter papers to fill yourself.
The espresso grind French Roast from Peet's works perfect with the 'Duck, giving you a brew that looks like Guinness on tap while filling your cup and ending with a fine bubble crema. It's robust without being bitter. You'll end up with slightly less brew because the flow rate through 'Duck is lower. The best cup of coffee I've ever had out the Senseo.
Start with a standard measure of coffee, make sure the grind is "fluffed" up and not compressed in any way when you measure. Do not tamp or pack the grind in any way or overfill the 'Duck or you WILL end up with a mess! Don't ask me how I know. :^)
Your Senseo should not sound erratic or leak while brewing, if it does you either have too much, too fine of grind or have packed the grind in the 'Duck.
Happy Brewing!
Update 6/8/2010. The Duck finally gave up the ghost after LOTS of cups of coffee. The failures were the top screen deforming (first problem), most likely from the brew temp plus the pressure from the spring tab that holds it down in the Senseo , then the o-ring that sits under the bottom screen deteriorated (fatal!). This allows coffee grinds to slip past the screen and plug the orifice. I noted that the plastic frame of the bottom screen had deformed also. These are plastic/rubber bits that are exposed to acidic liquid (coffee) and high temps. My water also has low pH, so that didn't help either. This first Duck outlasted the Senseo though.:-)
Ordered my replacement Duck tonight!

Second Generation Coffeeduck PERMANENT Refillable Coffee Filter for the Senseo SUPREME & DELUXE ONLY Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This has been my favorite purchase of 2009. We have a Senseo Supreme and our coffee selections were very limited until Coffeeduck. It works perfectly every time, but should only be used with finely ground coffee.

The Coffeeduck New Generation ONLY works in the Senseo models HD7820-DH7824, HD7830, and the HD7841-HD7842 models. If you have the original Senseo this will NOT work. The Coffeeduck lets you change your Senseo into an espresso coffee maker. The Coffeeduck is a 2-pod holder that is also works for ground coffee. Youll be amazed by its versatility! The Coffeeduck is usable for all types of coffee, from fast-brew filter to finely ground espresso coffee. You can put 5 to 14 grams of loose coffee in the Coffeeduck (ordinary paper pods contain 7 grams of coffee). Preparing one cup of coffee takes about 20 seconds more compared to preparing coffee using a paper pod.

Ecopad, the Refillable Coffee Filter for the Classic Senseo Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought my Senseo machine over 2 years ago (when they first came out) as an alternative to splurging on a much pricier machine after my mediocre Krups espresso maker died. While I loved the Senseo concept, I was disapointed with the coffee, even when I used the pods I bought from supposedly Gourmet suppliers, and considered spending the bucks on a true pump espresso machine. THEN I FOUND THE ECOPADS!! While I was a bit skeptical, (at that time they were only available from some obscure website--I think in the Netherlands) I took a chance and paid $13 + shipping for 2 pads. I loved them. So I bought two more for when the first two wore out, but the first pair are still going strong after two years of almost daily use!
TIPS FOR SIMPLE FLAWLESS PEFORMANCE: (1) Use a burr grinder to grind your coffee (whether at home or the store). I already had a "burr" coffee grinder when I got these. Unlike the grinders with spinning blades, burr grinders actually grind the coffee, resulting in a consistent size of grind (unlike the blade models which produce a combination of powder and granules). Mine allows you to adjust that grind. The finest is espresso, the most coarse is for a French Press. I have mine set about halfway between Espresso (finest) and drip (medium) and I get a rich cup of coffee every time. (2) Use good coffee--i.e., coffee you like! I use Pete's Major Dickason's Blend. (3) You do do not need to wet the pads, or to have them dry, either. While they are a tad easier to fill dry, they are simple to fill when wet (i.e. just rinsed out), too. And, if you happen to overfill them, I just mash the top down (which seems to push the coffee out of the way) and brush away any excess grinds (if pad is dry) or rinse the closed pad quickly under the faucet (if pad is wet). In either case, you must insure not to have stray coffee on the outside of the pad or it can block the little hole in the Senseo "pod holder" thereby locking the machine up (you won't be able to open the handle easily and don't try--unless you want a hot grounds explosion--just let it sit for 10+ minutes to lose pressure, then open). (4) If you like your coffee strong, push the single cup button. If you prefer it weaker, the two cup button. I like strong coffee and use two pads to make one cup every morning. (5) I never use soap on them, after my Italian friend's coffee aficianado father convinced me that soap should never touch the part of the maker that accepts coffee--only rinse with water.
I wrote lengthy dissertation as I promised myself I would someday put up a good review of this excellent product and now that I am ordering my sister a Senseo and these pads for her birthday, I am making good on that promise!!! Whew!
