Melitta 180424 Padfilter New Generation permanent coffee pad filter

After searching in vain for more paper filters (grr!) to make my own Senseo-type coffee pods, I decided to try out these refillable ones from Melitta. I’m glad I did! Unlike other plastic refillable eco pods or the Duck-whatever-it’s-called insert, it produced not only a decent espresso-like brew, but also had that distinctive crema on top of the coffee that I had come to expect from the Senseo and similar paper filter pods.While I prefer the paper filters I can fill myself because I can make a bunch of them at once with very little mess when used (and they’re great for putting into the compost for my garden), at least I can get the same quality—if not better—from these Melitta pods. Plus, I can still use the grounds for the compost.I gave these a 5 because of the quality of the brew, but it is a messier process than the paper filters, as you do have to dump out the grounds and then clean out the refillable pod each time you use it. Still, it’s good because the quality is good, I can use whatever kind of coffee I like (such as local roasters’ coffee), and I can still compost the grounds. As far as reusable plastic pods go, it really is the best.

Works perfectly!

Doesn’t make as strong of a cup of coffee but it is great for the senseo

This thing holds 8 g coffee sort of but difficult to close, like a single Senseo cup, but fits in the double cup holder. Makes extremely watered down coffee. It takes a lot of water to clean. Do not buy this for Senseo coffee pod thing. You can't get a refund through Amazon. Just out of luck and 15 bucks for worthless junk.

These are fabulous filters. It’s important not to get any coffee on the outside of the filter or it will foul your senseo machine.The lids eventually fall off and they are insanely priced, but there’s nothing I’ve found that competes with these yet.

I love these Melitta Padfilters. It saves money on coffee (that has gone up in price). I use less coffee in these filters. I was using pads or my one cup device where you put a filter in and add coffee grounds and pour boiling water and it drips in your mug, that was using a lot of coffee grounds. Also, the Melitta Padfilter cleans so easily! I just empty out grounds, and rinse under a bowl or something so any residual won't go down the sink. I wish I had purchased years sooner!

Pick your favorite coffee (ground or use your beans and grind to medium texture.) This will save you money and you will have endless choices of what flavors you can have. It takes a little bit longer to prep and dispose of but not that much longer. The key is to not overfill the pad filter and to close the lid and make sure no excess grounds are on the outside of the filter. Just like any coffee pods used for your machine, ANY grounds that get into the pin hole on your pod holder will cause the flow of water and coffee to be stopped and pressure to build in your machine. When that happens just give the machine time to lose the vacuum seal that’s been created. Eventually the lid will open and the pod holder can be removed and cleaned. This has happened with many paper coffee pods I have used in the past. To date these Melitta padfilters have not had this problem. But I am being careful to not leave coffee grounds on the exterior when filling. I do recommend this product. I have used it for 30 plus days and have had no problems. Please note, don’t throw the grounds down the drain. You will clog your plumbing. Dump in the trash or your backyard garden. I guess many people don’t realize just how small a pipe is.

Does not fit a Bunn single serve machine. Too bad though, good idea.

Hace tiempo, años, que tengo una cafetera Senseo, de bolsas de papel, y no las cápsulas de aluminio o plástico que nos meten hasta en la sopa. Es más ecológico, más eficiente y mucho mas económico, que andar comprando capsulitas de plástico. Pero rizando el rizo me compre estos filtros, para utilizar el café que me gustara, con la calidad y en la cantidad que me gustara. Son perfectas, les pones el café molido que quieras, la marca y el tipo, y solo tienes que ponerlas y calentar el agua. Perfectas.

Parfait, fait le job

Work great in my SENSEO, plastic clip is a little stiff to open and close by they work.

Ravie ! Je ne savais même pas que ça existait, j'avoue. Ce qui m'a poussée dans ma recherche d'alternatives c'est l'information que le café (ou chocolat) d'Amérique du sud contient trop de cadmium et je souhaitais pouvoir contrôler les provenances, ce qui est difficile avec les dosettes. En réponse avec certains commentaires, il faut le charger dans la "cuillère" double et il fonctionne à merveille, se nettoie super facilement. Ravie !

Gott kaffe billigare än på pads
