Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Presto 09402 MyPod Refillable Replacement Pod (Senseo)
Customer Review: Great product, IF you don't mind the clean-up mess
Summary: 4 Stars
I stumbled upon this at Wal-Mart. It works great in my Black & Decker coffee maker. I have found pre-made pods way too weak even if doubled and they're costly, esp if you double them! I was so pleased to be able to brew a cuppa strong French roast BUT - BUT - BUT it's a huge PITA cleaning out the pod maker. I have yet to be able to do it without having to sweep coffee grounds off the floor. I dunno. Maybe I'm just a klutz with it.
Six of one, half-dozen of the other. I put up with the messy clean-up to have a fresh, strong cuppa joe - for now anyway. :-)
Customer Review: Makes very WEAK coffee
Summary: 2 Stars
The presto my pod makes, to me, a very weak and watery cup of coffee. It could be just me, I prefer using the medium or dark roast pods, I like strong coffee. I tried using a few different types of coffee in the presto my pod, but it didn't seem to make a difference. I'm not convinced that the pressure is strong enough to brew a decent cup.
don't buy this... heck I'll sell you mine for a dollar :-) I'll never use the dang thing again.
I followed up by buying the brown eco pod, and THAT worked decently and made a nice cup of coffee by my standards.
Customer Review: Disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this awhile back. I must say that I'm really disappointed with it. I was hoping for something to use to avoid using the expensive pods all the time. The main problem with this is that the Senseo will not shut off automatically. It makes a mess each time I attempt to use it. The coffee is very weak and usually has some grounds in it. Also there is no crema, which isn't a big deal to me, but others might be disappointed in that. For now, I'll stick with the pods. Target has started selling its house brand coffee in pods so I'll probably give that a try.Customer Review: Waste of Money
Summary: 1 Stars
I saw this product while walking through WalMart and thought it was a great idea. I felt the packaging implied it would produce a "Senseo Pod"-quality brew from my own coffee. Well, what I got was yucky coffee and a big mess! As other reviewers mention- the coffee is brewed very weak, you have to watch the water level to prevent an overflow mess and there is no froth. There are lots of inexpensive 1-cup cofee makers that would be way better, and this does not get you the "Senseo" coffee experience. Save your money and don't buy this product!
Customer Review: Very handy!
Summary: 4 Stars
I read the reviews where people wrote that it made weak coffee, so when I first tried it out, I put in a heaping scoop of coffee for 1 serving. Turned out so strong I could cut it with a knife. Then I tried it with the normal amount, and guess what? PERFECT COFFEE! As long as you experiment with the amount of coffee, I'm sure you'll find the perfect strength for you. As I wanted to make my favorite Jamaica Blue Mountain on my Senseo, as well as add variety to the Senseo's repertoire, I was searching for something like this. Definitely a handy gadget.
