Use the Podmkr to make your own coffee pods - The Gadgeteer

CROWDFUNDING NEWS – The one thing that has stopped me from buying a Keurig is the cost of the pods.  While they are convenient, they are ridiculously expensive compared to grinding my own coffee and using a drip coffee maker.  What if I could have my cake and eat it, too?  That’s what the Podmkr, a Kickstarter campaign that’s already funded, is trying to do.  It’s a small coffee grinder that puts the grinds directly into a small pod, which I can use in a Keurig.  Huh!  That might just be enough to make me finally buy a Keurig.  You can learn more on their Kickstarter page.

Just buy reusable filters, grind your own and you don’t have to spend $$ on what you can do with your hands! (unless they’ve fallen off after your 666th 91-divoc “shot”) 🙄

Ok then tell me why all the disposable filters in the market aren’t actually designed to work like an actual k cup,? The small hole on the bottom of a disposable k cup is there to create pressure and increase the waters contact time with the grounds. Most filters for keyring just have a giant open hole which minimises the contact time of the water with the grounds resulting in a crappy cup I’d coffee

I can already do that with any of my three coffee grinders and after market reusable K-cups. Keurig coffee just is not that good. I prefer my French press and cup drip coffee options

Bob, can you please provide a link to one of your coffee grinders that can already do what the Podmkr will do? I’d like to see that. Thanks.

It’s totally a puzzle to me that anybody finds the taste of drip coffee acceptable Kurig or filter. Taste like cigarette soup to me.
