10-25% off Senseo Pods at Amazon through 3/31/08

Thanks OP! I ordered a couple. Pretty obvious the answers they want. Anyway, if anyone wants to order some of the pods, they're 10%-25% at Amazon. Order $25 to get the free shipping too. Make sure to pick eligible products. I'm not into auto ship and bill but the single time 10% off was nice:

Save 10% today after an instant rebate when you buy any eligible Senseo coffee pods, tea pods, and flavorings. Use the following promotional code when you check out: SENSEO25. And save an additional 15% on top of that when you order Senseo products through our Subscribe & Save program. Simply choose a quantity and delivery schedule on the product detail page and click "Subscribe Now."

This offer applies only to products offered by Amazon.com and for purchases made between March 1 and March 31, 2008.

If anyone finds a deal on the refillable pods, be sure to let us know. Even at 25 percent off, these pre-filled pods are still 21 cents per cup, which is quite expensive, seeing that most folks think that the coffee made by the Senseo pods sucks. But, if you can use your own coffee, then the result is supposed to be much better, and much more reasonably priced, as well.

Isn't there a device that will let you make your own pods?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update:

I just found this product on the net, http://www.taylorgifts.com/prodetail~itemNo~26541.asp
Haven't found anything on the net about anyone using it in the senseo yet though, but it looks promising.

There are. I use these and enjoy the coffee from them. However, cleanup can be messy, and you need to use the 2-cup pod holder.

A tip for better coffee in the Senseo. When you first turn it on, run a cup of just water, without the pod. The water doesn't necessarily heat up completely for the first cup, so it tends to be weaker. If you run a cycle of just water, the water for your actual cup of coffee will be hotter.

Check out the Coffee Duck on Amazon. Made specifically for the Senseo:

Those are certainly what I want, but at $11 (with shipping) for 2 pods from Amazon, I'm hoping to find some kind of deal on them.

You do realize what kipper referred to were just filters (in the shape of a pod), not the pods filled with coffee, right?

In terms of Senseo pods, I did some research back in 2006 when they were giving the machine away for free. There are quite a few websites/blogs that guide you step by step making your own pods. Some folks prefer using their own coffee, instead of the pre-packed pods. You get to choose how "advanced" or "experimental" you want to be :

Yes. Right now, I use Hawaiian coffee (go over there and get it a few times a year), which is better than any coffee I've ever gotten around here. So, given the reviews of the Senseo coffee pods, it's certainly preferable to me to get the refillable ones, in which I can put my coffee. But paying $11 for two filters seems a bit much to me. Especially since I guess that I won't be getting much more than 50-100 cups out of a filter before I have to replace it. I'd rather find a deal for, say 15 filters for $30 or something like that.

Hmm. Good info. Maybe I'll try making my own pods out of existing coffee filters for now. Right now, I'm using a filter a day for 2-4 cups a day (depending on whether my girlfriend wants coffee, or instead is using the Cappuccino machine on any given day). Using the existing filters, and using 4 a day, while less eco-friendly, is at least reasonably priced.

Just saw through Amazon (again) the "perfect pod filters" that go for just over $22 (inc'd delivery) for 120 filters (and 3, five-star reviews).

Check out the "perfect pod maker" gizmo, seems excessive for $40.
