So I was given a used coffee maker...

GhostRyder · 02-09-2009, 07:06 PM

And it takes pods... What is a pod? I have no idea.

Where do I buy them?

Is it one of these?

No idea actually... it was just offered to me. I don't have it in my possession yet. I think it is a Senseo something or other. It supposedly makes 2 cups at a time or something like that. I'll find out more details later on this evening I hope.

Pods are more like this...

(there are also reusable ones you can buy and use your own grounds)

The other ones are considered K-Cups...

You can get them online, specialty markets, Bed Bath & Beyond

Target even has them too...

I'd toss the thing in the trash.

With pods, you don't know what the beans are, you have no idea when they were roasted and you haven't a clue as to how long the pods have been sitting in a warehouse or in the store.

My point is, fresh whole bean coffee is the best, not some preground stuff that have several months of age.

A make your own pod will solve the freshness problem.

I thought this was interesting and creative:
Make your own

Or you can buy a gadget to make it for you.

It all seems like kind of a hassle. Maybe this is why it was gifted to you.

I can brew 2 cups in my regular coffee maker no problem and I don't have to make a diaper first.

My wife loves her Keurig. It's great if you only drink 1-2 cups a day, but k-cups can get expensive if you drink a lot of coffee. They make a reusable k-cup that works pretty good if you want to brew your own.
