 Uses too much coffee for a single cup October 17, 2007
The directions for its use are unclear since it doesnt state whether you use the single cup button on the Senseo or the double cup button. You have to figure it out by trial and error. Although it works fine, the aparatus uses way too much coffee grounds to get a medium bodied single cup of coffee.
 Works exactly as advertised! October 15, 2007
I don't have a clue why anyone is having a problem with this product. I bought one of these a month or two back to use after I used up all the pods I'd bought on clearance at Kroger's. Today I thought just for grins I'd try the unit for another quick cup of coffee instead of wasting a pod. This unit works perfectly. I cleaned it first, took the advice of another reviewer and wet the filter when I put it in so that it stayed exactly in place. Dumped in one measure of drip coffee I had on hand and put it in the machine. Bing Bang Boom! I had a cup of coffee minus the foam. Took the coffee holder out of the machine and tapped the grounds into the wastebasket, then rinsed it off. Done, no problems with too little of this. . . . to much of that. . . . just a good cup of coffee in literally less then two minutes on my first try. Mindlessly easy!
Awsome gadget that I love to death. September 21, 2007

I ran across this in Wall-Mart and it was on sale for $7.00 and the filters were $1.50 so I bought it and 2 extra packs of filters. I read the reviews about it here and the do's and don'ts. I read the instructions carefully also. I love a big cup of strong coffee. I ended up placing a filter in the bottom and just filling the podholder with a fine grind of coffee. I fill it to the top. I use a soup cup to drink out of and it works great to just put it under the spouts. It holds about 2 1/2 cups. I press the 1 cup button and wait until it is done and then push it again. I end up with 1 really big cup of really strong coffee which makes me very happy. I don't find making it to be a bother or the cleanup bothersome either. I dump the grounds and rinse and done. It cleans fast and easy for me. I absolutely love this product. I find it interesting that other folks have problems when trying to use it. I even forgot the filter one morning and it still worked perfectly for me. Now I can have all my favorite blends and not have to settle for expensive pods with only a very small selection. When buying pods I usually can only find 2 and maybe on occasion 3 choices in the store. Now I can make my own blend of flavors and strength. I think that that is wonderful! I highly recommend this product if you want a great cup of custom coffee. Following the directions and the advice of others is very helpful to make it work for you too. Enjoy!!!

This is a great item if you don't want to purchase the pods all the time. I have not had any problems with it. You should grind your coffee a little finer to get more taste from it. I do recommend thie product.
 Not sure what everyone's problem is...used correctly, works fine September 14, 2007

Working from a home office, the idea of 2 minutes to a cup of coffee is appealing. I've used the Senseo pods, other brand pods, the EcoPod (a sort of pop-together container with a fine mesh that serves as the filter), and now my clearance MyPod. If you read the instruction manual provided, it gives enough information to use properly.
This type of coffee maker pushes a set amount of water through the pod when it is at a certain pressure. The pods you buy contain the correct amount of coffee at the proper grind to ensure that this pressure is reached, giving you a standard size cup of coffee.
The MyPod recommends watching your cup during your first few cups, then turning the system off if it gets more full than you need.
From there, you can deduce that, if you're getting too much water in there, you need to increase the pressure within the system: either add more coffee, use coffee of a finer grind, or stamp it down more tightly with the convenient lid.
As for cleanup, yes, it's messier than using a pod, but I simply pull it out, pull the lid, tap it a couple times over the trashcan to dump the majority of the grounds and filter out, rinse the rest out, and am done cleaning.
