Great Coffee Pods (and Tassimo T-Discs, too!)

There’s a lot of buzz lately (get it?  Coffee?  Buzz?  Come on, you at least grinned, right?) about coffee pods.  They’re not exactly brand new, but they seem to just now be getting their comeuppance in the public light, and lots of people are discovering that it just makes more sense for them to make their coffee one cup at a time.  Most of the queries on the web seem to be centered around certain brands of coffee pods, though, so I figured I would give a (very) quick overview of what’s available, and where to buy.  In this post, I’ll do the top two.  Check back often, though, because as I get to the more obscure brands, you just might find something new!

Senseo Coffee Pods

Senseo coffee pods are made exclusively for the Senseo coffee pod machine.  This gives Senseo the ability to make their pods, as well as their machines, to work extremely well with each other by not having to worry about other brands of makers and pods.  They seem to be the most popular coffee pods by a rather large margin.

Melitta Coffee Pods (Often misspelled as Melita Coffee Pods)

Melitta coffee pods come in right behind Senseo in popularity, and also have the distinction of not tripping my spell check.  Apparently Melitta is an English word, but Senseo is not.  Anyway, Melitta coffee pods are like Senseo in that they make their own coffee pod brewers and pods, but they don’t claim to be exclusive to one another.
