Presto 09402 MyPod Coffeemaker Accessories  Product Reviews

"I bought this about a year ago because I live overseas part of the time and cannot easily purchase the pods. I tried it several times. It does not make the froth that I like and if you don't stand there and watch it, it will overflow the cup...it doesn't always know when to stop pumping water. It saves money over the regular pods, I like the taste of my own coffee better but the nuisance factor makes it not a very good substitute for the regular pods. I am going to try the Perfct Pod Maker next to see if it does any better..."

"I normally buy my coffee pods from coolbeans and decided to give this a try as I had run out of pods and I had family over. The coffee pods I buy are designed where each pod makes 2 of the Senseo cups. 2 Senseo cups equals 1 standard mug of coffee. I filled the holder with 1 scoop of coffee put my coffee mug in the machine. Hit the button for 2 senseo cups. It started brewing the coffee and filling the cup. Man did it fill the cup to the point that it ran over the side and completely filled the drip tray below the coffee mug. I began thinking that the Senseo might just run the pump for a predetermined amount of time and that the small hole in the original coffee holder restricts the water that is used. So I filled the holder with 2 filters and added 1 1/2 scoops of coffee, packed it well and hit the button. I had to turn off the machine before it overfilled the cup again. Water appears to leak around the top of the holder, and runs down the handle of the holder and into the cup of coffee. When you open the Senseo up after running it, there is a puddle of water in the holder."

"I bought this for my Senseo and I was disappointed to find that the coffee did not have the froth that comes out when you use the pods. It's also more difficult to figure out the right amount of coffee to use to get it right. But if you have a frother, like your coffee stronger (this gives you the option of using the 2-cup measure for 1 cup of water-making a much stronger cup of coffee) like using your own coffee and save money, then this is a good investment. I'm not sorry I bought it."
