Is Pod Coffee Filtered?

With the surge of single serving coffee makers on the market, it can be hard to know what you are buying. Machines labeled as a 'single cup coffee machine' - can do anything from make filter coffee, espresso, hot chocolate - even teas.

The basic concept behind single serve pod coffee makers is that each machine uses a coffee pod to extract coffee, one cup at a time. For this to happen, the single cup coffee machine needs a coffee pod. We have already discussed what a coffee pod is, and how there are many different types available - depending on which single serving coffee maker you have.

According to Google - the definition of a coffee filter is a 'coffee-brewing utensil, usually made of disposable paper that allows water to pass through the coffee and retains the coffee grounds.' The term 'filter' then really applies to most of these coffee pods on the market.

No matter the brand - Keurig coffee maker's K Cups, Senseo coffee pods, Dolce Gusto coffee maker pods, Tassimo's T Discs - they are all essentially ground coffee packaged in a disposable filter.

Another factor when comparing single serving coffee pods to standard filter coffee, is the taste. Obviously there is a huge difference between an espresso and a flavored latte drink. Same is true of the different coffee pod varieties.

Again, depending on what machine you have, you can get different gourmet coffee pods to make almost any sort of hot drink. From a short espresso, a creamy latte, hot chocolate, teas... Whatever your taste or mood one cup pod coffee makers can do just about anything.
