Not only a scam but environmentally indefensible as well.Pods are a scam especially in 2011/12.
Cuisinart has teamed up with Keurig for their single serve machine.Cuisinart makes a single server brewer with a filter as well, I believe.
Indeed they do, that is why I recommended spending a little more and getting one with a silicone seal, they last much, much longer...I've used a french press (Bodum) before, But cleaning them out after was always a hassle,
When I lived in Italy for a year I used the "Moka" pot, But the rubber ring wears out...
I drink espresso using them,
Just one very large mug of espresso in the morning and I'm good for the whole day.
Jura best machines in the worldI grind my own coffee at home and I know a lot of coffee makers require crappy, low quality pods. Not to mention expensive.
I found this:
Cafe Invento
Which has fantastic reviews but only takes pods. It is beautiful though -like the Mac of coffee makers.
I wonder if there is a way to fashion your own "pod" or something... It does say it takes numerous types... So I'm wondering if the water just rushes through it and I could kind of wrap my own coffee in a filter or something...
Does anyone have any suggestions on either forming your own pods or really good coffee makers?

Yes you can form your own pods, there is a thing called the perfect pod maker, also you can find ways to use regular filters to make them. But the time you spend on making them, testing size, weight and grind settings you might as well fork over the 40¢ for a ready made pod. Believe it or not, there is more R&D that goes into this than one would think.I wonder if there is a way to fashion your own "pod" or something... It does say it takes numerous types...
