How Can I Make Coffee Pods Myself?

For a simple method of making coffee pods yourself, you only need tea filters and coffee powder. Simply fill two to – for stronger coffee – three teaspoons into the filter and then put it in your machine. If something sticks out, fold the homemade coffee pods upwards so that they fit exactly into the holder. Finished. In fact, homemade coffee pods are considered more environmentally friendly than disposable aluminum capsules, as the latter are not biodegradable. If you make coffee pods yourself to continue using your machine, you can think more sustainably – and go a step further. Because organically grown coffee causes a much smaller ecological footprint than non-certified variants. When shopping, also look out for fair trade coffee. Of course, this also applies if you want to try one of our coffee recipes or prepare our Irish coffee.

Make your own coffee pods: in stock

The beauty of the pad machine is the spontaneity. Whenever you feel like a quick cup of coffee, press the button and in no time enjoy a freshly brewed shot of caffeine. Therefore, you can also make coffee pads yourself, which is a little more complex, in order to store them afterward. As with the simple method, use tea filters and ground coffee. To do this, take a purchased pad as a template. Place this on the tea filter and trace its contours with a pencil. Now preheat the iron to the lowest level, then iron along just inside the lines to seal the homemade coffee pod. Leave only a small opening so that you can then use a funnel to fill in coffee. Measure the amount as with the simpler method. Finally, seal the entire pod, trim away the pencil edges—and when the temperature rises, dedicate yourself to our iced coffee recipes instead of homemade coffee pods.
