It is wonderful to have pods that fit my old Senseo coffeemaker. The coffee in these is very flavorful, not bitter and smooth. I will return buying them because of the choices of flavors and ease in using in my Senseo. Thank you!My breakfast coffee.Couples and housemates don't always agree on what coffee characteristics they like. Why compromise-- individualize instead.I hate bitter coffee and easily get a yucky feeling (acid stomach?) when I have the majority of brands and roasts of coffeemaker drip coffee-- even light roast. I need milk or cream just to tolerate the bitterness and to have an OK stomach. But I do love coffee when I find the right one for me or when it's de-bittered with cream! My husband loves the bitterness of just about every coffee-- and he especially enjoys double espresso-- something I could never enjoy. So you see where I am going with the merits of making an individualized coffee.I saw on Dr. Oz 's show that many people find cold brew less bitter and easier on their stomach without needing a whitening agent of some sort. [BTW some "coffee creamers" have carrageenan-- an inflammatory ingredient that is used in arthritis drug studies to give lab mice arthritis symptoms in order to determine if the drug in questions helps relieve the inflammation and "paw" swelling.] Also, I believe studies have shown that when dairy products are combined with coffee, tea, or chocolate, they tamp down the available antioxidants in these other-wise highly rich-in-antioxident beverages, so plain "black" coffee seems to have a health advantage.I didn't want to invest in a cold brew machine nor what I thought would be messy cloth bag system for coffee grounds, and so I guessed that there would be no reason not to give Melitta pods a try. I'm so glad I did!I drank mine straight from the refrig. and loved it without sweetening of any sort... nor milk/cream/etc.!!! But I would imagine you could warm it up if you wanted to do so without changing the easy-on-the-stomach characteristics.It could not be more easy to make. I used a Mason Jar with ounce markings, poured in filtered water to the 6 oz. mark, and dropped in a pod. I closed the lid and a gave the jar a shake or two to totally wetten the pod. I put it the refrig for about 18 hours. I think everyone could play with the amount of water, the timing, and the roast (medium vs dark) and find their individual sweet spot.I can imagine also that you could make a concentrate with more pods to the same amount of water and then dilute it (say you want to take a small jar to work each day for multiple cups of coffee).Go for it!!! Have the coffee *you* enjoy that's easy on your stomach.n/aI use these pods in my senseo coffee maker. That means I get a great cup of coffee with froth on top and the right temperature. However these Melita pods don’t taste very good and they certainly don’t smell good. I think it must be old coffee or maybe the glue on the pod isn’t very good. I just don’t like these. They cost me quite a bit so I’m using them. Sometimes I use two at a time.This product arrives on time and is fresh and flavorful. It works in my Senseo pod coffeemaker, which is essential. I’m very satisfied.I like to take my own coffee when I travel and had to order these because hotels now a days aren’t using keurig style coffee makers. Now they use the kind that you need these round tea like pouches. The flavor was good but one was too light, 2 was perfect for my tasteGood coffee, can also pick up at Wal-Mart.
