Coffee Pods for Senseo - Wish they were cheaper!  

I hope you can help me with this as I am not a coffee drinker.Is a coffee pod basically like a tea bag but with coffee in it?This might sound unusual but I have never heard of it.

Yes I love my coffee maker, but this seems the problem when we have to buy the pods for the machine that they are always so expensive so we too have to limit ourselves like you do although sometimes they will have great specials at our local store I wish as well that they had an altertive method we could use instead.

You could make your own and here is the site! http://www.epinions.com/content_3875643524

Try these two for good prices on those pods. I think I would make my own, however that does void the warantee I think and that might now be worth it. Good luck my friend.

I have refused to try it, because of the cost. I will bet some enterprising myLot member already knows of a substitute or alternative. I will be watching to see. If you can find help anywhere, it will be here.

i love that machine but that was one concern..ouch 3.99 ..hmmm i must price them here in Canada ...hoping you find them cheaper soon hon

I found a free sample or trial for the Senseo coffee brand from Freakyfreddies.com. The actual "location" is at www.senseotrial.com. I have already ordered one out of curiousity. Yet the way everyone is talknig about it, I may have to order a lot more! I bet a person could make his or own coffee pods with the right materials, that being coffee and something like a teabag to put it in. Thanks for the idea! Happy coffee drinking!

I am sorry that they are so expensive.
A lot of things that people want are too expensive, and people just have to find an alternative. I wish that you could find a great alternative for a Senseo coffee maker. Good luck at finding the coffee pot that you need. Oh yah...I forgot just in cause that you want to know. Coffee pots are also good for brewing tea. Just put ice and water in it after it is done. It works great!! :D

We don't have one of those coffee makers. We do have a plunger. The coffee for that is a bit expensive, as my husband only likes Victoria, the most expensive. I have broken four plungers. They are made of such fragile glass.

We had a coffee machine until mid last year. But one day, in the middle of making coffee, it had a heart attack, & started making vibrating noises. My Step son quickly moved away from it. Just as well. It exploded.

It's the cost of the pods that makes the pod machines so expensive isn't it .. there are several discounted places online that sell in bulk .. but to make any real savings you'd need to buy several 50-100 packs at a time ..

Have you tried buying different sized coffee pods .. they may workl out cheaper .. all you need is a little ring gadget thing that converts your machine to take all sizes ..

Have you tried looking on Ebay .. there are several US based sellers .. and I can't believe how cheaply you can buy the Senseo machines in the US .. they are well over $100 here in the UK ... GRRR

Yep, I agree and thats why we never bought the machine in the first place.

Way too expensive and not worth the money
