I bought these a few months ago and the coffee was good but I had a problem with the seal around the top of the pod. The coffee floated out into my coffee maker because the seal was not fastened all the way around.

I have used this for about 6 months and have been through several cartons. I have never had this problem

I have ordered 2 batches and never had this issue. My father also uses them. Maybe you got a bad batch. I would ask the seller to exchange the rest if possible.

I am just a customer as well, but two times this particular brand stuck inside where it punctures and I had to pry it out. It has never happened with the other San Francisco Fog Chaser that I have been using, so perhaps there is a problem with the seal around the top of the pod. Sometimes it seems as if there is a little air between the seal and the pod...hope this helps.

This happened to me several times also.... was very disappointing because I love the coffee! Since then, I close the top of my Keurig carefully and that has seemed to help.

I am on my second box of this coffee and have never had this problem. Must have just been a bad batch.

I have never had that problem. Was that the only one. If it wasn't then I would want to send it back through Amazon. Your situation has to be very rare.

We only make pods for the Keurig brewer we use whatever coffee we like. I don't know how it would do in other brewers. The pods do seal with heat and we had an old sealer that broke and they replaced, but before they replaced it we sealed them with an old iron. A travel iron would be great also.

We've had the same issue with our coffee maker. Unscrewed the plate on the bottom of the machine and found an orange "rubber" water hose had cracked and is leaking. I was able to remove the hose, off the cracked portion and reinstall with just enough length remaining, though this will probably happen again. I will go to a hardware store to look for replacement hose materials, its not too hard to replace with a needle nose pliers or forceps are best.I don't know if this is an issue with cheap materials or city water issues, nevertheless I was disappointed and will not be buying another Cuisinart. Its only about 1.5 yrs old. We've had the same issue with our coffee maker. Unscrewed the plate on the bottom of the machine and found an orange "rubber" water hose had cracked and is leaking.

As to my previous post: let me stress mine is an older model. It doesn't look as if the newer models take loose coffee, but you might want to check with the company.

You Meyer have packed the coffee too tightly. When you pack th coffee just tamp it slightly after a few times you will get the hang of it

Holy smokes,I did at all pay attention to any of that. I just checked. The lid just goes on there. It doesn't screw on or anything, but sort of just sits on there snuggley. So not airtight. I've had it filled up, and have not noticed any deterioration in the taste of the coffee over time. I also cover the whole thing with a dark cloth.

Here's the deal. The coffee make I had was of a slightly different design, and I wrote to the company and explained my problem. They acknowledged that in fact there was a design flaw in the model that I had and replaced it with the model illustrated. The new one works great. I will be removing my review.

They are just slightly attached at one spot, sort of like a hinge. If you aren't careful they come apart before sealing, which is not a big deal. Place the coffee or tea in the pod. Align the top sheet and seal. Easy as can be. There is a little devise that holds the pod and seals the top with heat that makes it easier. I love these! I can make one cup of my favorite and they are as easy to dispose of as a tea bag.

Yes they can. That is what I use to seal it. I happened to have a small bowl that the lip of the pod lays over the rim. Fill with desired coffee, make sure no grounds on lip, flip top over and pass the hot iron over to seal. I haven't had any leakers with this method. I don't think the bowl is necessary, but it keeps the grounds the seal area and makes a quick firm pass with iron. No contact with the grounds in cup portion.

My sister has a senseo and I used those pods. Even the regular coffee pods came out nice! I was very surprised at how good the latte/cappucino pods were. Unfortunately my coffee machine is out of commision since there is a leak somewhere and the espresso button sticks. Have to send out to fix :(

You can seal the pod with a hot iron. you will need to have a holder for the pod as you apply heat. I suggest you go back to the drip pod, it makes better (stronger) coffee, hotter process. Or just add the grounds in the devise close cover and hope for the best.

I have used the Perfect Pod sealer but THESE DO NOT SEAL WELL. I wrote a review on January 5, 2015 explaining my experience with these. I ordered more of the Perfect Pod replacement filters which do seal well. Last year I purchased another brand which also worked well but they have been discontinued. These are a waste of money and time.

My Keurig brewer had the same issue with beverage weakness and errant grounds when I used the single cup K-adapter to brew my own coffee. I think it's an inherent issue with these brewers due to the lack of forced air pressure (which you get with store bought K-cups) and not unique to this particular coffee maker. I think it has something to do with the coffee grind and the water-to-coffee ratios. I suggest to stick to using K-cups, pods or the permanent wire basket for smaller servings. Only my 2-cents, which isn't even worth that.

Oh my goodness, thank you so much for posting this solution! I have just spent an hour trying to unclog the filters with the cleaning tool and with vinegar, but to no avail. I didn't think it was clogged with coffee grounds since I've only used pods so far, and as far as I know, we don't have hard water. (Plus, we've only been using the machine for 2 weeks.) I was ready to bring it back to the store. It turns out the water tank just wasn't pushed in all the way. Seems to me this simple suggestion should be in the list of troubleshooting tips in the owner's manual, because I have a feeling a number of people are having this problem and attributing it to something more serious.

The lids with this company has been a problem with cleaning issues, especially if you use half and half or milk in your coffee. They are now on their 3 lid design and I think they have finally designed an acceptable lid for cleaning. Make sure you get the latest lid design, the other two are no good.

OKAY this is what he said: I took the coffe machine apart. Some of the tubes were a bit trickey to get to and to get back on but it was fun to figure out. The top of the machine is where the hot watter bubbles up and then is dispursed into the coffee drip area. The cover the directed the bubbles from up to over just snapped into place. There is a grove to help seal this cover but ours did seal right. I removed the cover, put a thin line of silicone sealant in the groove and re-installed the cover. I let it dry for a few days so no silicone would seep into the bubbles then into the coffee. It seems to be working. OKAY this is what he said: I took the coffe machine apart.
