I have been using the Your Coffee Pod brand filters for quite some time now. These filters work great!!! On occasion I would have one that wouldn't seal well but no different than the Perfect Pod brand. I have saved a ton of money using these filters and will continue using them. It is nothing to forming the pod and the wider lip on top works better for me with my perfect pod holster. Also shipping is cheaper because they are not bulky. I can't believe what I'm reading from some of the reviews. Don't be fooled by the charlatan "The Reviewer "Product Performance" as this person is really "AS SEEN ON TV" products. I discovered this when I clicked on "read all my reviews" and noticed his nickname was "GALVANIZE8." I remembered there was a seller on eBay who sells "AS SEEN ON TV" products and their username is "GALVANIZE." Coincidence??? Not hardly, after more investigating I found out the seller on Amazon.com and eBay are one in the same. These people are leaving bad reviews on their competitors products and giving their own products 5 stars. This is unethical business practices and changes my opinion on doing business with "AS SEEN ON TV" products in the future. They are trying to deceive people in believing the Your Coffee Pod brand filters do not work as good as their filters but the truth is they do if not even better. I think the "AS SEEN ON TV" people are threatened by this new product as they should be. REMEMBER, DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE CHARLATAN.

I have been using these filters from [...] ever since I could not get the pod filters from As-seem-on-TV and with the exception of the variation of my voltage I have found I do not spend any more time making my pods than before. I use a 7 sec count to get a good seal with them and I had to use a longer count with the Perfect Pod Filters as well. These filters are easier to keep as they come flat and do not take up the space that the preformed filters take, which is a problem at my house.
These coffee pods will work in any of the pod machines and I suggest you turn them over to prevent leakage which is recommended by other formed pod makers.

The shipping is lower as the packages are smaller and take less to send.

Why spend so much money on specialty filters for your one cup coffee pod maker. I purchase ordinary unbleached coffee filters (small), then measure the amount of coffee I like to use into it. Then I twist the top of the filter tightly, tie it off with a cotton thread, then trim the top off. I then put it into the coffee pod drawer and make my coffee! Works every time!

This filtering system works well just as it says it would and least expensive. I tried the electric pod system and was very disappointed in their high failure rate and expense.

This is the same filter paper as sold by Perfect Pod. One step has been left out and that is to simply press the paper into the Perfect Pod Maker basin. It's a fast and economical alternative to the brand name filter paper. The only caveat is to be sure and have the "rough" side of the paper facing up. It won't stick if the shiny side is up. It takes no extra effort to create the pod filter and the savings is worth it. Additionally, the packing is a mere envelope compared to the large box required to ship the bulky, hard plastic clam-shell packaging of the Perfect Pod papers. A greener choice if that is important to you.

I think these are great and will continue to order as a better alternative.

Good idea but doesn't work. The pods don't seal very well. The pods from Perfect Pod are better. Even after pressing down 5, 6, 7 times per pod at 5-10 seconds some of the pods were still iffy.

It did work better the next time I used it. I had good success when I held down the Perfect Pod lid for 20-30 seconds. Yes the first time I did have rough side of the pods up in the unit.

These are not the same filter papers that come with the Perfect Pod machine. They are not even by the same company. The are harder to use and do not always seal good so that you wind up with grinds in your coffee.

I made the assumption these are "perfect pod coffee filters." They are not. The box reads "your coffee pod filters". These must be pressed as they are flat and not preformed. I ordered 2 packs or 320 pods which ment I would have to press every single one. At best it would take at least 1 hour to form them. Is paying a little more worth your time? I made my choice, sending them back for a refund and purchasing the preformed ones.
