An Introduction to the Tasty and Convenient World of Coffee Pods


February 17th, 2010

The first time I heard someone mention the phrase “coffee pods,” I must admit that I was a little confused.  Maybe you’re feeling the same way and you’ve come here to discover a little bit more about these fantastic devices.  So what are they?

Coffee pods are basically one-shot servings of coffee, usually flavored, that can be brewed with very little mess or fuss.  They look similar to teabags, but of course they contain coffee instead.  After a couple minutes of running hot water over these single serving packs, you are rewarded with a tasty beverage that took far less work and hassle than a standard pot of coffee would.  Coffee pods cut down on waste quite a bit because, again, you’re just dealing with one cup at a time.  This also solves the problem of multiple people wanting different types of coffee:  Rather than piling into the car to head to the local Starbucks, you can simply keep multiple flavors stocked in individual pods at home.  You can get variety-packs of the coffee pods in order to try them all and determine what your favorites are, a very efficient way to sample all sorts of delectable, exotic flavors!

You really can’t beat the incredible convenience offered by a perfectly-measured cup of coffee that’s ready to go within a minute or so.  On top of this fact, coffee pods are pretty economically-priced so they make good financial sense, too.  When I picked up my Senseo machine, I was really happy to see that I wasn’t wasting any more coffee.  You probably know how it is:  Brew up a pot and drink half of it, leaving the other half to sit in the pot for a couple days and wasting it.  I was starting to get really annoyed with this, so I knew it was time to make a change and go with a single-serving solution.  What I wasn’t expecting was the insane variety of flavors out there, waiting to be enjoyed with your friends and family!

Anyway, I thought I’d share just why I love these tasty, economical little coffee pod bags.  Although coffee pod may be a strange phrase, the product itself is remarkably straightforward.  It really boils down to the efficiency of a tea bag and the variety of flavors and bold taste that only good coffee can provide.  Whether it’s Hazelnut, Mint, Breakflast Blend, or any of the other plentiful options, I’m sure you’ll find something to satisfy your tastebuds!
