For those who like coffee there is a new system which brews coffee using coffee pods. Coffee pods offer a unique way of making coffee. It is not only quick to make a cup of extremely tasteful coffee, but there are so many different varieties of coffee pod available that nobody in your household has to have the same taste in coffee. The coffee pod idea allows one coffee drinker to consume one type of coffee, and the other coffee drinkers to consume a different kind of coffee at the same sitting. This is just not possible with the normal drip feed filtering systems.
Keurig K Cups
But the coffee pod machine is not the only coffee maker on the market that allows for single serve coffee. There are many different coffee brewers out there but this article is going to compare two different types, those being the Keurig K cups versus coffee pods. There are many different types of questions that are asked when it comes to purchasing a single service coffee system. Which coffee maker is the best, which one is the cheapest, or which one is going to give you the best coffee? Is the Senseo coffee pod machine the best or is the Keurig K cup? Will your coffee drinking habits be satisfied with either of these systems? And what is the price per cup of each system?
The Keurig System
The biggest problem with K cups is you can only use them with Keurig brewers. The Keurig system allows you to choose whichever coffee flavor you want, whatever you feel like at the time, because there are so many different types. The temperature of the water can be adjusted so that you are getting a gourmet coffee which is just to your liking. The K cup is a small plastic container with a foil lid which actually locks in the freshness. The machine costs around $90 with a 25 pack of K cups for around $10, which is around $.40 each.
The Coffee Pod System
Coffee pods, on the other hand will work with several different machines. This is because the original manufacturers, Douwe Egberts, lost a case which they had taken to court over the patent rights for the coffee pod. This means that there are plenty of manufacturers who are making their own style of coffee pod, including the espresso coffee pod. The coffee pod machine costs between $70 and $100, with the coffee pods costing around $.40 each
