How to make your own coffee pods

Step 2: Step 1: Form the paper cup

This part is pretty straightforward. Take the measuring cup you found to fit inside your coffee maker's pod holder cup, and place the coffee filter over it, getting it as centered as you can. Then, just use your hand to pull it gently down over the cup and form the paper to the outside. Place the measuring cup paper-side down into the coffee pod cup and take it out. The paper will hold the shape of the cup, and the pod holder cup provides the shape and stability you need to fill it with coffee.
