Pod Systems

Pod brewers are a unique one-cup brewing alternative because the coffee makers and the coffee pods are not necessarily designed to work as a “closed” system.

You can choose a coffee maker from one manufacturer and then buy pods from a wide variety of different sources. Many coffee roasters offer their coffees in pods for use in any of several pod brewers.

The flexibility of the “open” system has not resulted in wide spread popularity. After an initial burst of interest a few years ago, the market for pod systems seems to be diminishing, with several manufacturers recently leaving the market.
