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

Want a great American financial success story?  Look no further than Green Mountain Coffees.  This company started out in the 80s as a tiny cafe is rural Vermont who ground and roasted their own coffee and ended up being the driving force behind K-Cups, one of the most popular variants of coffee pods.  Unfortunately, Green Mountain Coffee Pods are actually Green Mountain K-Cups, but there are quite a few people out there that consider coffee pods and K-Cups similar enough to be called the same thing.

Have you tried Green Mountain Coffees, and are hellbent on making Green Mountain Coffee Pods?  Well, you could always make your own coffee pods.  There’s various guides all over the net on how to do it, although the basic idea is to get a small filter, wrap some loose coffee in it, and stuff it in a pod coffee maker.  As Green Mountain actually purchased Keurig, the maker of K-Cups and K-Cup machines, a few years ago, it’s safe to say that making your own is the only way you’re likely to get Green Mountain Coffee Pods.

Green Mountain is mostly famous for their enormous variety of specialty coffees.  Their “Our Blend”, which is their version of a house blend, could be the best coffee in the universe, but they still never would’ve made it out of Vermont without the specialty coffee niche.  Not with the likes of Folgers and other coffee leviathans out there.  If you check out some reviews, though, it’s pretty surprising just how well pretty much all of Green Mountain’s 100+ coffee varieties rate.
