I use these in my Senseo and they work just fine. I think they make a much stronger cup of coffee than the brand recommended for use in the Senseo. Very pleased with this French Roast !

Excellent product! Have tried many other pods form many other online companies and keep coming back to this one. It provides a very smooth and bold taste. I would highly recommend this product.

I've been using this & the Columbian Supremo blend in my Simplehuman and it makes as good or better cup of coffee than the Molto brand that is included with Simplehuman brewers. Highly recommended and blows away Senseo.

I had gotten so used to the weak cup of coffee you get from the other pods I've been using, that when I tasted my first cup of the Millstone French Roast, my face took on an expression that can only mean "Now that's a good cup of coffee!". It was really laziness that brought me to try them out. I was nearly out of coffee pods, but didn't feel like making the trip into town just for them. Amazon to the rescue. I was, of course, taking a chance since there are 96 total coffee pods, but with the other great reviews I felt like it was a good risk. I was right. As I previously mentioned, and other reviewers as well, you get a pretty strong cup of coffee using only one pod. Not too strong, mind you, just right for my tastes (I'm not a coffee connoisseur by any stretch).
I have the Melita machine, and as another reviewer pointed out, these pods are a bit big for that machine - but not that much bigger than the Senseo or Folgers pods that I've tried. The trick is to place it into the basket with the dome part facing up so that the edge parts that stick out are forced to fold in against the sides. Then just make sure the coffee is evenly distributed within the pod, and there you have it. I've actually gotten good enough to do it with one hand.
I would like to give a Amazon a big thank you for pricing this at slightly over $25.00 - not only is that a bit better price than what I was used to, it also qualifies for SuperSaver shipping (which only took 6 days including the weekend).
I give this product 4 stars, but I would give it 4 1/2 if that were possible. Unfortunately/fortunately I have tasted some pods from Gevalia and Starbucks that were better tasting (and two to three times more expensive) so that is the 5 star bar for coffee pods in my case.

I do like a good strong cup of coffee so on my senseo I typically would put 2 pods in and press the 2 cup button. With this coffee I only need 1 pod to make a nice cup of coffee, not to weak and not to strong. So in the end I end up saving money because I only use one pod versus 2.

This is the first time I tried Millstone coffee pods - French Roast. Though it is more expensive then other brands, but I am glad I ordered it, because it does give me the best flavor coffee from a coffee pod so far.

I have tried all available coffee pods out there for my senseo single cup coffee maker. Millstone is the best. Only my local store Meijer used to carry that brand but recently they don't sell it any more. So I ordered from Amazon. Shipping was free. I was expecting some price reduction compared to regular store price but that is not the case. Price is in fact 10-15 cents higher/bag compared to local store. Anyway, I love it. No other pods can match. The pods from Sensio itself is a shame/sham.

This coffee was a disappointment. It is extremely weak and even, when I use 2 pods together (as suggested in the manual) to create an "expresso" it still is very weak. Also, (I think though that this must be the home cafe machine), the coffee has the taste of water.

My husband has been using these coffee pods for years. Amazon.com has the best price I have been able to find for this product.

I bought my mother a pod coffeemaker for Christmas, and she loved the concept but wasn't thrilled with the coffee prices in the supermarket. I saw these on sale, bought them for her, and she said the coffee was excellent, and thought the price (about 20 cents a cup) was very fair.
