The Benefits of Coffee Pods and Single Cup Coffee Makers
The average working American cannot usually start a good working day without that first morning cup of coffee. It has taken priority for some over fixing school lunch, finding lost keys or giving the dog drinking water for the day. There has been one glitch in the morning coffee program, however: you usually have to brew a whole pot in order to get your single cup. With the marketing of coffee pods and single cup coffee makers, you no longer have to worry about being wasteful with the extra grinds.
Coffee pods most resemble round tea bags, except there is no cotton string with a tag label attached and there are ground coffee beans rather than tea grains inside the pouch. The pods are prepackaged with filter paper already inside and sealed to keep the coffee fresh. After coffee drinkers place a pod into a single cup coffee maker, water drips through the pod and is collected in a mug below the drip.
If you are an indiscriminate coffee drinker and like the variety of different flavors for your morning cup, coffee pods will be an easy practical way for you to "sip around." You eliminate the need for making an entire pot of coffee that you will not drink - in a flavor you really do not like. If you happen to try something that disagrees with you, simply take the coffee pod out of its compartment and throw it away. After you take a paper towel and wipe away any residue of the discarded pod, insert another.
Environmentalists and the budget conscious may not be too excited about coffee pods or single cup coffee makers. Those who are really pinching dollars will have to shell out more money per pod. A cup of coffee brewed with a coffee pod will cost from 20 to 40 cents per cup, and usually pods come in packages of 18 or 25. Conservationists balk at the idea of having to throw away each pod after use. It does nothing to assist our landfill efforts.
Because the whole world has not yet converted to the idea of the single cup coffee maker, it is difficult for some drinkers to find the coffee brand they want to use in the machine. Some manufacturers simply do not produce the individually wrapped packages used for coffee pods.
Lone household coffee drinkers and singles have much to celebrate with coffee pods and single cup coffee makers. This is a product whose enjoyment is not based on a large number of people in order to serve users. Since this is a coffee maker that can conservatively give you a single cup, the magic number is one.
