Gourmet Coffee Pods

Coffee pods are small round sealed packets of ground coffee. They have gained popularity in recent years because of their convenience. The amount of coffee is pre-measured and the clean-up is easy because the pod is its own self-contained filter. Many people find them a handy way to quickly make single cups of coffee. To make a fresh hot cup you simply raise the lid on the brew machine, drop in the pod, fill the water reservoir, and press the button. When you are finished brewing, there are no messy wet grounds to deal with. You simply toss the pod in the waste bin.

A new item that more and more people are interested in is the gourmet pod. These are made with premium quality coffee. They appeal to the person who really prefers the taste of better blends of coffee, but likes the ease of use provided by pods. For years people who like to drink gourmet coffee had to either take the time to make a whole pot at home or go out to have it made for them at the coffee shop. With gourmet coffee pods you don't have to choose between getting premium taste and saving time. It is possible to have a high quality cup of coffee first thing in the morning with no fuss or bother.

Gourmet pods are available to suit a variety of tastes. They are available in either regular or decaf. Coffee pods allow those who prefer decaffeinated coffee to enjoy full brewed flavor. They also appeal to espresso drinkers. Pulling a perfect espresso can be a time-consuming process. By using pods it is possible to consistently brew a perfect cup of espresso at any time.

As with any coffee, it's important to store pods correctly to assure freshness and to maintain flavor. Moisture and direct sunlight will cause coffee to deteriorate quickly. Coffee pods should not be kept in the freezer or refrigerator. Zip seal plastic bags are a good way to store gourmet pods to keep them fresh.

While each coffee pod is designed to make a single cup of coffee, it's not possible to use just any coffee filter in every brewer. Coffee pod size and design has not been standardized, so your choice of pods will depend on the brewer you are using. The most commonly used size is 62 millimeters, which holds between eight and ten grams of ground coffee. To avoid any question about which pod goes with which brew pot, many people find it convenient to buy their gourmet coffee pods from the same place where they bought their coffee brewer. That way you know the pods will work properly in the machine and you can be sure of getting good results.
