 Great Idea, Just Not Very Functional February 24, 2008
I bought a Senseo to enjoy a good bold cup of coffee. The unfortunate side effect is that one has to buy 18 pods a week at $5 a pop. So I thought I would try the Presto MyPod to help save a few dollars, and be able to use the machine that I liked. The concept is a great idea. Presto just didn't get it right. I'm not sure what the answer is, but the bottom line is that this product produces weak coffee with a lot more hassle than the Senseo should have. The instructions are full of disclaimers about the type of coffee, how you have to stand by the machine to make sure it doesn't overflow, etc. It's like Presto knew this wasn't going to be a great product, but put it on the shelves anyway.
Too much hastle February 21, 2008
The construction is the best of the similar items on the market. I bought them all. Nonetheless, I am just too lazy to do this. I prefer to buy the pods ready made.
If you really love your own brand of coffee and do not mind dealing with coffee grounds, this is the best of the similar items you find on the market.
Doesn't work January 29, 2008
I bought think, thinking I can use my own coffee, and the attachment does not fit in the Senseo. I try to snap the top closed, and it doesn't stay closed, so as a result, the coffee (water) squirts all over the place. Plan on returning it.
 COFFEE POD REPLACEMENT January 26, 2008

I bought a Senseo Coffee maker which only uses expensive Senseo pods. I like Eight O'clock coffee fresh ground so I purchased this replacement pod system. Good price and it works perfectly for me. I am able to use whichever coffee I choose (I like to mix Eight O'Clock Columbian with hazelnut or vanilla flavored coffees) and I am not locked in to buying $4 plus bags of coffee pods over which I have no creative control.
Follow the directions, and it works perfectly. January 16, 2008

This filter does come with directions, that specifically state that more water will come out than with the pods (and that you may have to shut it off if it fills to much, but it's always the same amount of coffee that comes out for me so I know what cups to use), and that no foam will be produced. The foam from the pods is just an additive, put some dry creamer or cocoa mix in the bottom of your cup and it will foam that up a little bit.
I use 1 1/2 scoops of coffee and press the one cup button for a pretty standard size coffee cup. It fills it with room for cream or whatever, and does shut off itself. It is impossible for the machine to just keep pouring water out and never stop, it has a reservoir that it pulls the water into to heat, which is why you have to wait until the light stops blinking again after to make a cup, for it to refill and heat again.
Make sure the coffee is drip grind. I bought some yummy local coffee to use with this, and it beats Senseo and Target's brand pods. And I love that it comes with the filters, we bought an extra bag because we didn't realize it did, so we have plenty.
This little filter has produced nothing but good tasting coffee for me. I use it all the time.
