philips senso coffee machine

Hello everyone I have just been given one of these machines that need pods to go in them ( it looks like a coffee tea bag)
Has any one any old style ideas that I could use instead of buying the pods Thanks

I did buy some of those refillable pods on ebay - cant remeber which ones, they came from Germany, but they weren't very good. They made an ok cup of coffee but you didnt get the frothy layer which I really like. and you could only make 1 cup at a time, it took up the 2 cup pod holder.

I did find a video (utube??) on making your own from coffee filters, but after I read something about being very careful, or the pressure may build up and the coffee explode I gave up, took the machine to work, and only buy pods when they are on 3 for 2 at Mr Ts (then I but a LOT!!)

The senseo is really big in Holland where my sister lives and they sell the pods cheap in Lidl there. I don't drink coffee so have never looked for them, but it's worth a look in Lidl or Aldi if you have those shops near you.
