Choosing a Pod Coffee Maker
Is it time to buy a new pod coffee maker? How can you decide which is the best coffee pod machine for you? Take some time to think about what is important when buying one before venturing out to the stores.
You should be aware that two very big brands seemingly monopolize the market. While they aren’t the only machines out there making pod coffee, consumers buy them in large quantities and therefore they win the popularity contest! Given their status among other brands, its not a stretch of the imagination to realize that popularity has led to a high consumer ranking. They are popular because they make great coffee, easily.
Let’s talk about pod coffee makers from Keurig. They designed almost six different models and they vary, here and there, in regards to how much coffee they make and their water capacity. They all cost different amounts too.
Who else is popular in the market? Well, there’s Tassimo, even though they don’t make as many different kinds of machines. Most of their machines have the same look and functions. Most agree that the two major brands have comparable quality. But which is the best coffee pod machine for you? Let’s discuss some importance differences.
Nearly twelve different companies have partnered with Keurig to make “K pods”(coffee pods and expresso coffee pods). With so many agreements, it’s very likely you will find your favorite kind of coffee made into a K pod. To name a few, some companies growing coffee for K cups are Timothy’s World Coffee, Green Mountain, Deidrich Coffee Roasters and Newman’s Own and others.
It’s true that Tassimo has fewer coffee pods and expresso pods from which to choose compared to Keurig. But do I smell Starbucks? Tassimo is the only company allowed to sell Starbucks brand coffee pods and expresso coffee pads. Clearly, if you need a Starbucks fix, then the Tassimo pod coffee maker is the best machine for you. Variety needed? Then, the Keurig brand is probably the best one. In any case, either brand will make you hot, delicious coffee at home or at the office.
