Phenomenal!
I had purchased the Hamilton Beach personal one cup coffee maker on here Hamilton Beach 49973 Dcm Personal Cup Pod Brewer- Red for my wife as a gift. For some reason, I didn’t realize that the Senseo coffee pods for this machine were discontinued and pretty expensive. So, I was trying to find a refillable pod, but everything I found said you could only use it with a “classic senseo” model…which, I had no idea what that was, considering the maker I purchased was a Hamilton Beach. I didn’t want to take the chance. Then I found a “perfect pod” sealer/maker….that however was about $40-50 bucks. I thought, well, that’s alright I guess. She can use her own coffee. But again, that’s still about $50…too much for me at the moment. Enter the saviors known as Disposapods. I didn’t see any reviews for this product, but I figured, for $11+shipping, for a pack of 100 pods and a mini sealer, I was willing to give it a…
A lot cheaper than buying prefilled pods.
I have a Hamilton Beach Pod Brewer and these refills work very well, but found the instructions lacking. So here is some notes on how I fill them.
* Use a medium grind coffee suitable for drip coffee makers.
* Pour the grounds into a shallow bowl to make them easier to scoop out.
* Use a funnel such as Norpro to make it easier to get the coffee in the pods.

* Using a measuring spoon, put 1.5 tablespoons of coffee into each pod. It seems like a lot, but that is what it takes. I opened some pods from MELITTA and Senseo, and measured the amount of coffee in each type. The prefilled pods…
These really work for both coffee and tea
These make your own pods with the mini sealer work. I bought the inexpensive Hamilton Beach pod brewer for my daughter to take to her office and thought that these might make a nice addition since the Sensa pods are both hard to find and expensive. Before giving the brewer and pod replacement filters/sealer to her, I had to play with both first. The mini sealer does seal the filters. A hair curler does not however. I didn’t try using an iron so I can’t say if that way to seal works or not. I have found that a finer grind, like expresso, works best in these filters, you get a better strength when the water goes through the filters. You don’t have to trim the ends, and the filters work even if they aren’t sealed, just fold them a couple of times and tuck the fold in the brew basket. I use a regular teaspoon to fill the filters and buy my coffee at our local Co-op because the coffee is great and the “burr” grinder gives the right consistancy to the grind. My advice for the best cup of…
