what type of coffee pods does this use?

Go to Coffeewhiz.com and go to the PODS section. Any of those would work and they have a great selection. I would buy a Bunn MyCafe over this. it does not brew a fantastic cup, just an ok one...

I have actually had success with Starbucks pods (using the single shot filter basket), but now I've been reading various places that the machine doesn't work with very many kinds of pods, and it is definitely not e.s.e. certified. I haven't tried any pods other than starbucks, but I don't think pods are the way to go with this machine. I would be curious if there was a pod adapter filter basket that you could purchase to make it work better with pods. Anyone know of such an attachment or where to purchase it?

Have you found any other pods that will fit this machine--I really don't like the taste of their pods.

The only coffee pods that'll fit this machine are the ones made for it. Sounds like captain obvious but in other words, there are NO OTHER PODS you can use. Only one kind in all the world will work and it's cuisinart coffee. Bummer for people like me that wanna use their favorite brand of coffee.

I stopped using mine as it was just making hot slightly colored water, I also used pods from Douwe Egberts coffee from Belgium.

Yes, there are third party "Nespresso compatible" pods, as well as stainless pods that can be re-filled with your own coffee as often as you want.

I see no way to make pods without a pod maker which has a very hot "flange" to match the flange on the filters. The manufacturer or original distributor stamped on the back of mine is "Arm Enterprises, Inc." Maybe they could help. The name on the tag is "Coffee Pod Maker", "Perfect Pod Maker", Model EP2122, Date Code 5111. I'll swap you my pod maker for a new Keurig coffee maker. :)

they are ESE pods, i'm not familiar with the Illy Mitaca, I have a Francis Francis x1 I just googled your model and it seems like the pods are different than the ones I use. BTW the coffee is great

I have one and it works great. I also buy whole bean coffee and grind it extra fine and don't have to buy the expensive pods...hope this helps you.

No Keurig pods will not work with this machine. Only the Nespresso pods will work with the machine. I haven't found any other off brand pods that work with this machine.

It looks like EZ Cup Pods are like the K-Cups. This makes the flat, round pods, like Sanseo, Melita, etc.

You really can't, that is, the machine uses special aluminum pods that you buy from Nespresso. There are instructions online on how to re-use those specific pods. But, I use my Keurig machine for coffee. The nespresso is truly a wonderful espresso machine, that's function is incredible espresso, and cappuccino.

Not K Cups, it takes pods. I hated this coffee maker. Returned it within days.. be sure to read all of the review.

What I really meant is for the expresso side if we can use PODs instead of just dropping coffee in the little receptacle. (On the coffee side I use a mesh/metal filter)...

I found a cute device on ebay that is used in place of the pod maker. Small, round metal holder that the pod fits in and then fill with coffee. Cover with lid and press iron on it to seal. Works great. Pods are so much cheaper that the K-cups. I could never figure out why the pods never really took off but the K-cups did. They are both single cup coffee servers but the pods are so much cheaper and don't take up so much space.

Community Coffee Company (New Orleans) makes pods that fit the various Senseo machines I have had. Excellent tasting coffee! And the price is reasonable too.

No. The pods are only good for the Tassimo coffee maker models. They have a different shape and there is a bar-code on each pod, that corresponds to a reader in the Tassimo machines.
