What Are Coffee Pods?

Coffee pods are pre-measured coffee grounds enclosed in a sealed, biodegradable paper coffee filter. They are used in specially designed, single serve coffee makers. Coffee pods come in a variety of brews, flavors and brands and offer you a convenient way to make a single cup of specialty gourmet coffee or tea.

Coffee pods have been on the market since 2001. As the concept of single serve coffee became more popular, more companies began to pick up the idea. In the early days there was no standard and manufacturers produced pods in many various sizes, usually to fit a specific brewer which was confusing for the consumer. Today most coffee pods are standard at approximately 61 millimeters. Where pods may vary is the weight, or amount of coffee in each pod. Standard coffee pods contain between 7 - 12 grams of coffee, while tea pods contain less because less tea is required for a good cup. One note, pods described as ”ESE” are espresso pods and are only designed for special espresso brewers.
