Pros and Cons of Pod Coffee Makers

Single serve coffee makers are fantastic, but they’re not a fit for everyone.  Consider the following before making your decision.

 The Fabulous Pod Coffee Maker Features:

•  Simple – all you need to do is to insert the capsule into the machine.
• Convenient – no need to measure out ground coffee for each brewing, just pop in a pod.
• Fresh coffee – the coffee is made one cup at a time, right when you are ready to drink it.
• No hassle cleaning – just remove used pod and throw away.
• Easy to try different flavored coffees – each serving is individually wrapped, no need to finish one large bag of coffee.
• Great tasting coffee – no grinds ever get into your cup.
• Stays fresh longer – the freshly roasted and ground coffee beans are sealed into specifically measured pods which remain fresh for at least 6 months.

The Drawbacks to the Single Serve Coffee Maker:

Non-compatible systems – when shopping, be careful to find a coffee maker that will fit many different size/styles of pods.

• Expensive – the pods themselves can be more expensive than using ground coffee, however some machines will take ground coffee or you can make the pods yourself.  Although the pods may be a bit more expensive than traditional coffee, they are far less expensive than a cup from the coffee house each day.
• Not great for parties – if you are making coffee for 10 guests at a party, it could be time-consuming and tedious to make coffee one cup at a time.  As an alternative, keep a traditional coffee pot in storage or allow guests to select and brew their own flavor.

 If you are looking for a simple, easy way to make a variety of great flavors of coffee, then a Pod Coffee Maker is for you!
