Can I make coffee pods for this without the special "pod maker" since you cannot seem to get it anymore?

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 could not see paying that much $ for a pod maker... as I found that the filter does not need to be sealed... I make sure I do not over fill with coffee and tamp it down so it is snug in the device. I have a old Starbucks Barista and they no longer make this coffee maker... I am not sure what kind of espresso maker you have but I put it up in the mechanism carefully and turn... wait until the steam/heat has decreased and lift carefully out of its tray etc...

What is a pod maker? I put one of those Replacement filters in the piece that holds the pods and a spoonful of coffee and it makes delicious coffee. I don't use anything called a "pod maker".

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. :)

yes, you can fill these filters with any brand coffee. it tends to be a little weaker, just put more grinds but don't overfill!

I understand the issue you are having, I happen to have a pod maker myself from about 3 years ago and it is no longer available. If you get these filters you could use this little gadget I searched out for you. You would put the pre-formed filter in this, add your coffee, fold down the flap and iron over the top. It will work very well for you. I sure hope this helps you and if you get a chance, let me know what you decided to do. http://www.ebay.com/itm/The-Coffee-Pod-Fixture-DIY-Coffee-Pod-Maker-for-Senseo-easy-pack-pods-/301180687702?pt=Small_Kitchen_Appliances_US&hash=item461fc49556

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.

You have to buy a $42 item(found on Amazon, and I forgot the name. Just look up "coffee pod" and it will be on the search list) or use an iron(how I don't know). I heard something about a "coffee duck", but I'm not sure that you can use it on those particular pods. Hope that helps.

No you cannot "put any pod". You can remove the old pod--and have hot water for your "tea leaves" that have been placed in the "tea ball" which you brew in your cup. No other "pod" will fit into the brewing machine.

There's an optional adapter for regular coffee but i haven't tried it. i've only used the k-cups.

Call Cuisinart directly. I thought I needed a holder and all I needed were the little pods that go INSIDE THE HOLDER

you can sit coffee maker on something like a drawer that holds your pods, then with the drip try removed you can fit a taller cup. Mine is on something so i can drip into travel cup it can be done, but some may not feel its worth reconfiguring.

i bought a simple pod maker off ebay. the title was "Make your own Senseo pods". it works great on my Bunn MyCafe. Its a small wooden form that you can use the 4 cup paper liners in.

You CAN, but you'll have to buy a refillable pod like the Ekobrew Cup Ekobrew Refillable K-cup for Keurig Brewers, 1-Count . I have one and it works just fine!

Jut wanted to add - there are LOTS of pods available, from Melita as well as a bunch of other coffee makers. Also, I've found the pods to be much less expensive than K-Cups

Yes you can but you have to hack the Keurig. There are youtube videos on how to do it. You can also get a DRM freedom clip for free that tricks the sensor and allows you to use any kcup you want, even the refillable ones. Everyone should realize by now, that eventually, someone will find a hack to counteract companies that try to limit us into just using their products. :)

I believe the current machines are pod only. Older models are combination ground coffee or little bags manufactured by Illy.

The only place I was able to find and purchase the coffee pods was at the Fairway supermarket in Plainview, New York. The only other thing would be to order directly from the maker. Good luck. After going thru two Inventrm makers I gave up and purchased a Nespresso machine. I love it and I love the foam on the coffee.

I don't know, but in looking up the type of coffee maker, it says you just put the coffee in, no pods needed, although I note there is also an option to purchas 350 filters so it appears that the pressure used to make the coffee may push through some of the coffee grounds. I'm thinking that I'd need to see the part of the coffee maker that you place coffee in to see if the pod filters would work. Sorry I couldn't be more help, good luck finding a resolution.

Well Julie, all you have to do is Google "Keurig hack" to find out how to override Keurig's intended monopoly on the coffee pod. Looks pretty simple. To get you started, here's a link to one hack: http://www.treehugger.com/green-food/keurig-coffee-pod-drm-gets-hacked-now-you-can-use-any-horrible-pod.html. Interesting to see how the law suit pans out between the Rogers Family (makers of SF Bay coffee) and Keurig. Until then, hack away and convince your friends to boycott Keurig unless they like paying premium price for pods. Good luck!

No - The unit is designed to use only pods and can't be modified ( according to the company ) to accept ground coffee.

Yes, you can use reusable pod, buy tea I cups, or put a tea bag in the coffee cup and leave machine empty and just have it brew plain water
