Melitta 180424 Padfilter New Generation Permanent Coffee pad Filter, 1

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.

I wasn't too sure about these when I purchased them, and initially found them a little fiddly to use. I must point out I am registered blind. However once I had worked out a system which involves transferring my ground coffee to a flat sealable container and working over that, so excess grounds would be caught, I find they are really good. I have four of these at the moment, so make a batch up and keep them in a container till ready for use. Four isn't enough so I will probably get another four shortly, s I can make mmore up at once. I was a little concerned that the hinges might snap easily, but I've used them since the 6th of march, (now april29th) and they seem fine. They do save money on the Senseo Pods, and can use much stronger coffee blends which I prefer. One word of warning, I did let some grounds escape once and they blocked the Coffee machine, which sounded as if it was going to explode. I had to clear out the coffee filter holder which was a bit of a faff, but all ok again now. So yes I would certainly recommend them. My four rather than five stars is because I feel the instructions with them could have been clearer.

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.

Received my filters today (fast!) and already used it for my own filter coffee in my Senseo HD7814 (original)! Fill neatly and place in the 2 cup holder and they work brilliantly with no issues. This will save me loads on brand name pads and I have no problem getting the exact coffee I want, as I live in a rural area with few supermarket pad choices. Sure, it's a bit more work than tossing a pad in, but if you're looking for more coffee options, don't hesitate.

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

This Pad Filter is the reason why I bought Senseo machine at first place. When I was checking other coffee machines (Tassimo, Nespresso etc) and was weighing my options; this filter made my decision easy. I don't like Tassimo's choice of coffees; they are not intense enough for my liking. I really like Nespresso but again you are limited with their choice of coffees. With this filter, I'm not limited with Senseo/ Dowe Edgeberts coffee pods; I can use any ground coffee brand, flavour and intensity. The only downside is this Senseo machine doesn't make anything else; just pure proper coffee (no latte; cappacinos or chocolate stuff). But its not a big deal for me as I don't drink anything other than proper coffee. Thoroughly recommend this product.

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

Très pratique au quotidien ! J’ai acheté ces filtres permanents pour éviter d’avoir à utiliser des filtres en papier à chaque café et j’en suis très satisfaite. Ils sont faciles à mettre en place, se nettoient rapidement et font parfaitement leur travail. Le café passe correctement et je n’ai pas remarqué de problème particulier au niveau du goût. Le fait d’avoir deux pièces est également pratique, surtout lorsqu’on en utilise une pendant que l’autre est en train d’être nettoyée. Simple, économique et réutilisable, exactement ce que je recherchais. Très bon achat pour le prix.

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

Gott kaffe billigare än på pads
