Coffee Pod

Coffee Pod
Can you make a cup of coffee with a coffee pod just like making a cup of tea?

To make a cup of tea, I drop a tea bag in hot water and wait. Can I do the same with a coffee pod? Or does the pressure make a difference?
Thanks!
Okay, I see now that my question is unclear: by "coffee pod" I am referring to those little tea bag-like things Senseo sells which are filled with coffee grounds, not tea. You place the coffee pod in a special coffee maker, hot water is forced through, and presto, you have a cup of coffee. (In Germany, they are called pads, btw, not pods...)

I tried that, it doesn't work! It's NASTY! I tried boiling it, just pouring boiling water on it, let it set in the cup, all NASTY>>>>>>
