Using Designer Coffee Pods Without A Kuerig

I have an espresso maker and a French press, but not the fancy pod ones. But my daughter sent me home with some to use at a friend's house who does. It occurred to me that I can use the coffee without the dispensing pods. I just cut them open and dumped them into a small container.

Now I can have cinnamon coffee for a while until they run out. Designer coffees can be made at home with spices and such, but these were a gift I didn't want to wait to drink.

I peeled off the foil seal and recycled the plastic.
