K Cup Vs K Cup Pods

They are the first coffee pods produced by keurig.

K cup vs k cup pods.

For those who might fear the leaching of chemicals from the plastic of traditional k cups these filter pods. K cups are popular single serving coffee capsules that come enclosed in a plastic cartridge with a foil lid. Does k cup make sense or just get a traditional small pot coffee maker. As defined above you can identify a k cup by the foil lined ringed design with a plastic cup.

Big debate between k cup pod coffee makers and traditional coffee makers. About k cup coffe the k cup term is trademarked by keurig green mountain to describe their single serve brewing capsule. Even though k cups and coffee pods might look the same at the first look but the first thing you can notice is the difference in the packaging. K cup will always come packaged inside the cartridge usually a small plastic cup.

While pod comes in a paper or larger resealed bag. From the modern standpoint the k cups would be a top choice for the busy workforce that wants something they can sip on the go. When purchasing a 24 count pack of caribou blend k cups for 15 75 the total cost is 66 cents per cup the second lowest cost option. Other modified designs now exist that eliminate the plastic cup but still use the plastic ring with foil lid.

And there are also coffee filter pods as a type of k cup alternative made by brands like boyd s coffee copper moon margaritaville coffee and reign tea. This is the updated design of the k cup meaning it offers a better brewing experience. I still like the keurig and the coffee it makes however my bunn pod coffee maker can out do k cup on all levels. Its newest brewers the vue machines use a different pod which the company calls the vue pod.

The k cup brewers use as the name suggests k cups. Finally if you decide to stop by your local caribou store and order a small signature blend coffee you will pay around 1 50 per cup clearly the most expensive option. The pod maker is not only a better design and easier to use than my k cup refillable adapter but the control of taste and waste is better and much more economical and environment friendly with pods. Just make sure you read the description of the unit before you purchase.

A filter pod does away with the plastic cup and uses are mesh filter instead.
