Get Great Taste with Melitta Coffee Pods

The latest trend in coffee makers is one-cup machines that use coffee pods instead of regular coffee grounds. The drip coffee maker that has been so popular for the past four decades is quickly giving way to these superior systems. A pod coffee maker uses pressure, much like an espresso machine does, to force the coffee through a pre-packaged coffee pod. The result is one quickly-brewed, fresh cup of coffee done right every time. With this method of coffee making, you no longer have the mess of grounds and drips, and you never have to wait for a whole pot of coffee to brew. If you’re like I am, you want your coffee NOW instead of later, so this is a real plus. Various companies make both the brewing machines and the pods. Some of the brands of pods you will find are Senseo, Kona, Newman’s Own, Emeril’s, Folgers, and Melitta coffee pods.

Let’s use Melitta as an example of what you get with this type of system. A Melitta coffee pod gives you a pre-measured amount of coffee inside a filter. All you have to do is place one in the machine and hit the brew button, and in less than a minute you’ll have a perfect cup of coffee or tea.  For each coffee pod, you have a choice of two different brew sizes. You can either select the 5 oz. European style for darker, richer coffee or the 8 oz. American size for what we here in the United States consider a regular cup of coffee. By making your coffee one cup at a time like this, you’ll never end up with stale or burnt coffee the way you do when you brew whole pots and leave them sitting on the warming tray.

Melitta coffee pods contain only 100% high grown Arabica coffee and come wrapped in foil to ensure freshness. You’ll like the fact that Melitta pods contain 30% more coffee than other brands do, so you get a fuller, richer cup of coffee. While you may have to use two pods made by other companies to get the flavor you want, you never have to use more than one Melitta pod. You can buy them in numerous different flavors, and they will fit Melitta coffee makers and almost any other brand of coffee maker you can name.
