The Eco pod is a great way to get around buying expensive coffee pods for your Senseo. I'm thrilled to be buying coffee beans from my favorite neighborhood spot again, grinding them fresh to order and using the Eco pod. Grind to fine powder, tamp down and don't overfill. Use the double cup pod holder and then push the one cup button and it is awesome!!

After searching on line for a cheap way to buy flavored Senseo coffee pads, my wife found Eco pads on Amazon. They were inexpensive so I ordered a pair. They were a perfect fit for my Senseo single serve coffee maker. I only had to make sure that Eco Pads fit the series of Senseo coffee maker I had. Now I can buy any kind of coffee I want and enjoy it in my Senseo! The only trick is to grind the bean with a courser ground so that the water can be forced through the grains. Way to go Eco!

I have the B/D home cafe, and I use the BLUE ones in the compartment meant for TWO ordinary pods.

What's the diff between the brown and the blue? I simply LOVE the pods...I do NOT use a powder/fine grind.... just a REGULAR grind. I can vary the strength of each cup easy: I just put more, or less coffee in the pod. Even the major coffee bean suppliers' product can come out tasting just fine.

I don't know why, however the Eco Pad did not work with my Black & Decker Home Cafe. My machine has only been used a few times, I followed the Eco Pad directions to a "T" and all I get is coffee that looks like mud and tastes like I am eating coffee grounds. Now, after I tried to go back to using the pre-filled pods you purchase at the grocery store, I am still getting coffee that tastes like I am eating the grounds.
