I originally gave this product a positive review because I had good results the first few times I used it. However, since then, I have torn through both of my ecopads. Prior to that, I had problems with weak coffee as well as the ecopad opening up in the machine, causing pressure lock. I have subsequently come across make your own pod instructions on the internet & have had great success with that! Try that first, it's cheaper ($1 for 200 filters) and more reliable.
