Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Presto 09402 MyPod Refillable Replacement Pod (Senseo)
Customer Review: Not for the darwinian challenged.
Summary: 5 Stars
I had to write a review because I came back to buy more filters and was surprised at the negative reviews.
First the construction is top notch. Its only 2 parts a solid metal base with a built in filter that is super easy to clean and a top that presses the grounds. The top even has a metal piece in the center that lets you pull it off when you are done and the senseo machine also uses the metal center to push down on the device.
To understand the negative reviews, yes it offers a little less back pressure than the standard pod holder. Big deal. I found that if you overfill the base a little and use the top to press it together (like the directions tell you to), and then wipe the rim to remove any extra grounds, it is very similar to the amount of coffee with a regular pod. Granted it is a little bit more. But really, has anyone ever been satisfied with the amount of coffee you get when you press the one cup button? Now you actually get a drinkable amount. If you use a big cup the 2 cup setting is great. If it is making to much coffee you are not using enough grounds. I found a little measuring cup in the drawer (1/8 cup I think) measure out whole beans, put in the grinder and fill the MyPod up and use the top to press it down. Perfect every time.
I simply use the one cup button, let it reheat, hit the one cup button again and then simply hit the off button when it gets close to the top, depending on what cup I am using. This takes like 10 seconds.
So correct there is no auto sensing laser adjustment that detects when your coffee is about to overflow, and it doesn't have a cheerleading squad to encourage you to put more grounds in. Its a piece of metal that acts as a great way to brew your own coffee. Its kinda like common sense.
Cleaning is a breeze. I don't know what the negative reviewers are talking about. When I'm done, I hold the pod under running water to cool it off, grab the handy metal puller, and the water washes the grounds away. No problem. I've even learned that you can use the filters many times. I used to throw it away every time, now I use them like 20 times or until they accidentally go down the disposal. This next pack of 100 filters should last until the unit breaks, the senseo, I'm sure the MyPod will out live the Senseo. It does help to run the MyPod underwater and get it wet so that the filter gets wet and stays in place while you place the grounds in it.
If you like your senseo you should buy this its great. Don't let the negative reviews turn you off. If you can't check your oil in your car, you might not be able to use the MyPod. For the rest of us survivors its a great add on to your senseo.
