I'd toss the thing in the trash.

With pods, you don't know what the beans are, you have no idea when they were roasted and you haven't a clue as to how long the pods have been sitting in a warehouse or in the store.

My point is, fresh whole bean coffee is the best, not some preground stuff that have several months of age.

A make your own pod will solve the freshness problem.

I thought this was interesting and creative:
Make your own

Or you can buy a gadget to make it for you.

It all seems like kind of a hassle. Maybe this is why it was gifted to you.

I can brew 2 cups in my regular coffee maker no problem and I don't have to make a diaper first.

My wife loves her Keurig. It's great if you only drink 1-2 cups a day, but k-cups can get expensive if you drink a lot of coffee. They make a reusable k-cup that works pretty good if you want to brew your own.
