 Best Out There, Works with Senseo... February 18, 2008
G. Roberti (Brick, NJ)

A little wordy, but follow my train of thought. Ever since I received the Senseo coffee maker I have been in search of it's ability to actually make good coffee. I like a good cup of coffee and espresso, I do roast my own green coffee beans to achieve this, but by no means am I a 'coffee snob'. I have an expensive espresso maker, but by the time you grind the beans, heat up the unit, tamp in the grind, make the cup and clean up the thing...WOW! I like the Senseo for a single cup when the time necessitates this. To be honest, I went outside of the 'Senseo Brand' to find a decent tasting cup...I found the Senseo brands of coffee thin and lacking in taste. One reason is the blends, but the most significant issue is freshness....other brands individually package the pods and insure this biggest reason for good coffee. Now to the espresso part. I saw the Senseo espresso pods when they were only available in Europe (ordered them on eBay) and they needed the Senseo Espresso Pod Holder to maintain the correct pressure (different nozzle on the bottom of the holder) for the drip. This holder is set up for a single size pod and there in lies the issue...with the Senseo pods (not individually wrapped) it produced a thin, stale espresso. The look (crema) and smell were spot on, just not the taste...so I looked outside the Senseo brand AGAIN. I found that most companies that made espresso pods to fit the Senseo made them with more coffee in the pod (double size) and they didn't fit in this new holder. If used it would leak because it doesn't seal completely, the pod is too thick...these pods use the standard double size holder included with the Senseo coffee maker. I found that Timothy's Rainforest Espresso Blend espresso pods (9-10 grams each) to work great for me and make good espresso coffee in the Senseo...the closest to 'authentic' you can get. The reason they work with the existing holders is that they are packaged with the right amount of grind and tamped to the correct density within the pod. They are flavorful and robust...you can make a 'shot' when used in the single cup mode or to make espresso style coffee in the double cup mode. I'm still playing around with them, but either way they are much better than the Senseo pods...which to me, render the need for the Espresso Pod Holder useless.
So let's recap: save your money and stick with the holder you got with the unit and just buy a better espresso pod that contains more espresso grind in it, 9-10 gram pods versus the standard 4-5 gram pods, and is DESIGNED to work with what we already have.
But once again, Amazon shipped the coffee for free, got it quickly, and was packaged well...second to none in this E-Commerce world.
This is the same review I put up for the Senseo pod holder...I thought it would be appropriete for the Tomothy's coffee as well.

I agree these pods create the best tasting cup of coffee with the senseo machine. You do need the larger pod holder, and it doesn't make as much froth. However, the taste is leaps and bounds beyond the others (and I've tried all of them!). Buy and enjoy !
Best Expresso-like Coffee for Senseo STRONG BUT NOT BITTER April 28, 2009

Oh dear.... the reviewers here have some issues. For those poor sods that just can't get it to fit, I suggest practicing with this first: Senseo Practice
For the rest of you:
1. This works in a standard Senseo. It's a tight fit, but I've been using them for a couple months now and have had no problems.
2. You should pre-wet the pods until the filter paper becomes *slightly* translucent... maybe 2-3 seconds per side. (You will get better coffee by pre-wetting ANY pod, but it's especially important with these.)
3. DON'T USE THE DOUBLE POD HOLDER! Does this look like two pods to you? If so, call AA. If you use the double pod holder you will get WEAK coffee because a lot of water will travel AROUND the pod rather than through it. USE THE SINGLE POD HOLDER. Duh.
4. Center the pod as perfectly as possible in the SINGLE holder and press it down with your hand. When you close the machine push down on the top firmly while locking the handle.
This coffee is strong, but not bitter at all. Truly a wonderful blend!
Nice blend, hard to use with Senseo May 14, 2008

Love the coffee and the individual packaging in comes in. The only problem is that the pods are quite a bit thicker than the Senseo brand and are a very tight fit in the single pod holder. Don't even think of jamming two pods in the two pod holder - not gonna fit.
 Works just fine in a Senseo - good coffee June 4, 2008

Many of the reviewers say Timothy's pods don't work in a Senseo. In fact, they're about the best non-Senseo pods out there. Obviously, these reviewers haven't dug the 2-pod holder out of their Senseo machine's box. Timothy's pods contain more coffee, so are too thick to fit in the single-pod holder; if you try, you will experience a small explosion and water all over the place. The 2-pod holder works just fine. They're individually-wrapped to ensure freshness, unlike Senseo bags. The first review here from February is spot on.
