Melitta 180424 Padfilter New Generation Permanent Coffee pad Filter, 1

Great little gadget for your Senseo, allows you to use your favourite blend (in my case Lavazza coffee) for a strong, rich single cup of coffee. Cleaning is a bit fiddly... worth tapping the used grounds into a bin, then rinsing under the tap. Please note that although this provides a single cup, it has to be used in conjunction with the deeper of the two pod holders. But this will save you money on expensive coffee pads.

These filters are well-made and fit easily into the Senseo. At the price, they are excellent value. We've had some trouble, though, getting the coffee to brew strong enough. The solution is probably to use really fine-ground expresso coffeee, but we haven't tried this yet as we're still using up our cafetiere supply.

I bought these pods as I noticed the range of options of the official pods dwindling in our local supermarket. I did not wish to own a machine I couldn't use or one that would cost me the earth for replacements. I cheated a little when I used these pods the first time, I used the coffee grounds from a competitors pods to fill these as I wasn't sure how much you needed or how much to pack in. As other reviewers have said, you will need the "old" style double pod machine as these filters will not fit in the shallower 1 pod trays. If you can use the MUG sized pods in your machine this filter should work for you. The coffee tasted great however I guess it depends on the coffee grounds you use. I'm really happy with this as it offers more variety and means I will be prepared and still be able to enjoy using our machine even when the supermarkets discontinue the range and stop stocking pods all together...

The strength of the plastic is so weak it opened during first use and has blocked up my pad holder and machine. Now I can’t use my coffee machine at all. Terrible product do not buy.

After a bit of practice - I found that to increase strength of coffee and get the creamy foam on top (same as when using bags) you need to fill the padfilter to capacity so that it almost doesn't clip shut. Don't worry about it opening when in use cos when the senseo lid is closed - this presses down on the padfilter and seals it. Coffee was much stronger - more like the real thing. Also - I always heat milk slightly before adding to coffee and always use fine ground espresso coffee. Much better than the coffee bags as although they are convenient, the coffee they produce is weak and bland. They also cost too much. I don't find the cleaning the padfilter too much trouble - its worth it.

It fits into the Phillips 7812 no probs. squeezing in the coffee is a bit finicky, but luckily I have a proper coffee scoop with a tamper on the other end, so this makes life easier. I usually have a scoop and a bit in a stove top or in my previous espresso machine, but can only fit a scoop into this one, also the mesh doesnt cover alot of the surface which probably stops the flow of water getting to all the granules, leaving the coffee not as strong as I would like. You also get 2 in a pack. I am experimenting with different coffees to see which works the best. Its ok and saves money in the long run, so its worth a go I think.

Can't get hold of Senseo pods This solves all my problems , I don't drink gallons of coffee and the Senseo machine was ideal for a single cup of good coffee occasionally Now this machine seems to be " old hat " the pods are harder to find at the right price , I don't really want 50 pods at a time off the internet. This permanent pad filter is easy to use , flip the lid , 2+ heaped teaspoons of favourite coffee , clip shut and use in the double pod holder as usual . Fits my 7810 model perfectly ( fits models 7800 => 7874 ) Doesn't get quite as much of the crema effect of the pods but have only been using for a day or two , I'm sure change to finer grind or 3 spoons coffee would help . Great buy at under £3 for 2

Simple to use and the results are as one would expect. This product works well in our Senseo machine. It produces passable coffee from ground coffee as one would expect. A Senseo (or similar device) cannot, so far as I am concerned, produce coffee as good, interesting or complex as that made in a cafetiere, but as the Senseo devices are made to produce okay coffee quickly that's just fine by me. Frequently drunk coffee via the Senseo using pods or the Melitta filter pad and a cafetiere for coffee when we want richness and all the best that good quality coffee can offer.

Produit parfait et des économies faîte

Bonne qualité de facbrication - utile pour un bon café (éviter le gout du papier) et pour économiser sur les pads mais forcément très pratique au quotidien, notamment quand on est pressé le matin avant de partir au boulot.

Works perfectly!

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

Gott kaffe billigare än på pads
