senseo pods: what produces the foam with the use of senseo coffee pads?
763171
I have been making my own pods with different coffees and still get the foam. I use the hinged pods and they really work out well!

I'll update my original post by adding I did purchase another Senseo coffee machine, the same as I had but a different color. Here it is 2012 and I'm still hooked on the froth!My friend bought a Keurig and after I tried it I thought it was just OK, not special like Senseo. When we have guests over I usually make a pot of drip coffee from the very old Melitta pot and funnel type filter that I used for many years. If we run out and someone wants just one cup I'll get them a Senseo Kenya or Kona and watch their eyes widen after the first sip. Glad I bought another Senseo and I hope to get 5 years out of this one. Thanks for all your comments.

I get flavored coffee at the grocery and then use their grinder set on espresso. I have played around with how I put it in the duck and I find that tapping it down just a bit helps and I still get a nice foam on the top.

It just hold the coffee. It is the type of coffee you use that produces the foam.

I cannot be sure, but the demo video I just watched used the Folgers pods which I have used in my Senseo in the past. You can get a smaller package of these filters from Amazon if you'd like to try them first.

I found a cute device on ebay that is used in place of the pod maker. Small, round metal holder that the pod fits in and then fill with coffee. Cover with lid and press iron on it to seal. Works great. Pods are so much cheaper that the K-cups. I could never figure out why the pods never really took off but the K-cups did. They are both single cup coffee servers but the pods are so much cheaper and don't take up so much space.

I have no direct experience with this machine (i use a bunn my cafe), but I think the answer is probably yes.The machine makes standard size pods - about 2.25 inches in diameter - matches senseo pods.

I don't think so, the pods that fit this Pod Maker need to be filled with coffee then place in the Pod Maker to be sealed with heat. I have used this for years for my Senseo single serve coffee machine made by Phillips. I can then use the coffee I prefer.

Community Coffee Company (New Orleans) makes pods that fit the various Senseo machines I have had. Excellent tasting coffee! And the price is reasonable too.

I have the Hamilton Beach single cup coffee maker and it uses the Senseo coffee pods or these. You have to put one in the bottom of the holder then flip the top closed and set the second on top of that. Works great for two of these pods. I wish I could attach a picture. If you look at the Hamilton Beach coffee maker it shows the pod holder that is supposed to work with the Senseo coffee maker too.

I have had a Keurig for a year and love it but it does not make a froth on the coffee like Senseo. Furthermore, the Kcups are almost double the price of the Senseo pods. I have tasted Senseo coffee at a friends house and I like it better than the Keurig.If I was buying, I would purchase the Senseo for the above reasons.Kumar

If you have a Cosco, they sell San francisco Bay brand French roast pods for half the price of other brands and it makes a good/strong cup of coffee.After brewing, I cut the filter off the rim, which makes a great cutting line. I use the washed filters in the ecobrew brew cup. It helps decrease sediment.

You use pods. There are pods already made to buy and there are refillable pods. The best pods are Senseo brand, in my opinion but there are a lot of other brands available. Amazon carries some good ones

When I had this coffee maker I used the Senseo pods or generic ones that are just like it. They are soft and kinda flat.

It looks like EZ Cup Pods are like the K-Cups. This makes the flat, round pods, like Sanseo, Melita, etc.

Like "RG", I have no direct experience with either a Keurig or Senseo coffee maker. I should assume that LimeOut would work well...but I don't know. Sorry. :-((

Unfortunately, Melitta pods don't really fit correctly in the Senseo Machine. They are much fuller and denser, too dense for the single cup tray and a little to thin to fill a double. I had the feeling that the necessary pressure wasn't there to make proper use of the coffee pod, still a bit too much water left in the tray after making a cup. This is bad news for us. We really love our Senseo machine and will have to change our coffee rituals if the appropriate pods are no longer available.
