Read on and decide if you agreed with me. Sure, it is true that every known brand of coffee makers has their own single serve coffee makers, but if you would to look hard at the breakdown, there are actually only 2 types of single cup out there. Those that requires coffee pods and those that do not require coffee pods.
This difference is also what you should know when it comes to choosing your single serve coffee machine. This is because, the coffee pods offers variety while the non coffee pods are closed systems which means you are “stuck” with the brand of coffee that they represents.
At this moment, I know you might be slightly confused, isn’t most single cup coffee makers, operating in a closed system? In fact, it is so 5 years ago. But, recently with more competition, companies that uses coffee pods are allowing competitors products to be used on their machines.
With this liberation, a new machine enters the market -the pod maker. Basically, pod maker are machines that would sealed any coffee you like into coffee pods so that you can use it on your senseo, melitta one or one of those single serve coffee makers that uses pods.
And that is one type of single serve coffee machine, those that uses coffee pods. If you like variety or has your own favorite blend of coffee, then these are the machines you should check out.

The other type of single serves are the machines that are not using coffee pods. Currently, in the market, there are 3 companies that are not using coffee pods. They are Nespresso, Keurig and Tassimo and instead of coffee pods, they are known as capsules, K-cups and T-disc respectively.
If you have been drinking coffee, then these brands would not be foreign to you, which goes to show the reason why they are not using the common coffee pods -each of them have their own brand equity!
Tassimo and Keurig each boast of a wide variety of beverages within their own brands. Working with reputable partners in the industry, you can coffee from starbucks and tea from twinnigs with the variety of offerings.
So, while they lock you into their system, they do offer you variety in terms of choices of beverages. Nespresso, on the other hand, is all about gourmet coffee, and has their own special blend and their own group of consumers.
There you have it, nothing to mull over on your next single cup coffee maker purchase, out of the 2 types, you only need to choose one.
