Coffee Pods: Brew for Only You

Filed under: Coffee — Tags: , , , — Elliot Trevors @ 9:41 am

Not all people who are habitual morning coffee drinkers have to have several cups to get going into a daily routine. Some get up, brush teeth and hair, and want to reach for a single cup before heading out of the door. Often they have to brew a full pot in order to get that one cup, and the rest gets tossed whenever they return home from work. One-cup drinkers now have a solution that is less wasteful: coffee pods and single cup coffee makers.

If you miss the smell of ground coffee beans inside the round coffee pod bags, it will be easy to mistake them for fancy tea bags. Coffee pod makers crush fresh coffee beans into a pouch that has been prepackaged with coffee filter paper and sealed to keep your cup tasting fresh. The pouch is then placed into a special compartment of a single cup coffee maker and brewed with a water drip to collect in a cup below the drip.

If you are an equal opportunity flavor taster, coffee pods give you a practical way to try lots of different kinds of coffee. The single cup coffee maker has already removed the act of having to brew an entire pot of coffee when you only want one cup. You can sip on a new flavor, and, if you do not like it, move swiftly to your next flavorful cup. All you have to do is simply take the coffee pod out of its special compartment in the coffee maker, throw it away and wipe away the residue. Then you are ready for a new flavor.

Environmentalists have been up in arms about the idea of having to throw away coffee pods and not reuse them. Single cup brewing has, for that reason, has not been labeled as a green act. Budget weary drinkers also worry sometimes about the cost per pod to drink coffee made in single cup coffee makers. Coffee pods are sold in 18 or 25-pack quantities and end up (after all the math) costing about 20 to 40 cents per cup. This is far more than the full pot costs per cup.

One other challenge that those who use single cup coffee makers find is not every coffee brand sells its coffee in pod quantities. Drinkers are limited to the brands and flavors that are offered in the individually prewrapped packages.

Lone household coffee drinkers and singles have much to celebrate with coffee pods and single cup coffee makers. This is a product whose enjoyment is not based on a large number of people in order to serve users. Since this is a coffee maker that can conservatively give you a single cup, the magic number is one.
