Coffee pods for Senseo

A little known secret about coffee pods for Senseo is that they don't have to be the genuine deal.  That's right you don't have to use the actual coffee pods for Senseo.  In fact there are a number of different methods available all over the web that teach you how to make your own pods or offer grey market pods for a much, much lower cost.  However, the one thing they conveniently forget to mention is the downsides of not using the actual coffee pods for Senseo.

Reported downsides of not using the official coffee pods for Senseo machines:

  • Clogged machines
  • Exploding pods
  • Weak coffee
  • Bitter coffee
  • "Locked" machines – too much pressure builds in the machine
  • Voided warranty

Make sure you buy legitimate official coffee pods for Senseo coffee makers to avoid a real problem with your Senseo machine.  I have read reports on various websites where the most common problem involves a "locking" of the mechanism where you enter the pods.  The reason this occurs is the nozzles fill up with coffee grinds then cannot release the pressure – sometimes to resulting in exploding pods!

If you use the official pods you won't get the problems I listed above and to this date I have not had a single problem with my machine.  My only complaint was the lack of a larger water tank and they have since released that unit which has cut down my water refills.  And really, if having to refill water and wait 45 more seconds is the only complaint don't you think the machine is awesome too?

With stores routinely not stocking as many coffee pods for Senseo it may be quite a bit easier for you to order online via our site.  As the machines start to get a little bit older it is becoming harder to find the originals in stores.  You will want to make sure that you keep a good supply on hand in the case that your favorite grocer chooses not to stock them anymore.  Senseo Coffee Pods as I mention elsewhere on the site are some of my absolute favorite ways to make coffee so do you have your coffee pods for Senseo?
