I was a bit in a hurry and did not read the reviews. Themselves To Blame! All pads loosely in a cardboard box. None with expiration date. Frankly, I have not sorted, to see if everything is in there. For the price you could at least expect a nice box and a sort of mating pads. I wanted to give Christmas because the recipient gets a new Tassimo. Very annoying. And for the price simply crap.
