What The Heck In The World Are Melitta Coffee Pods, And How Are They Better Than Those Other Brands Of Coffee Pods?

Melitta coffee pods, like all other pods, are basically a measured amount of coffee that is wrapped up in a small filter, and designed specifically to fit inside coffee pod brewers. There are many companies that make coffee pods; Melitta is just one of them. Also, instead of the more normal coffee pod name, Melitta calls theirs "javapods".

Do Many People Use Melitta Coffee Pods?

From what I have seen, Melitta coffee pods are only second to the Senseo coffee pod. The difference between first and second place is rather large, though, as Senseo coffee pods are searched for about six times more than Melitta. Just after Melitta is Tassimo coffee pods, but those aren't really coffee pods at all, they're T-Discs and are exclusive to Tassimo's brewers. Anyway, I can safely say that Melitta coffee pods definitely hold a fairly steady second place to Senseo.

Can I Use Melitta Coffee Pods In My Pod Coffee Brewer?

The answer to that question is a most definitive "probably." Most pods do fit most pod coffee makers but, that being said, there are some exceptions. Melitta labels their pods as "Universal", so unless your coffee pod machine is an oddball, then they should probably fit with no problem. If you've ever had problems with any other pods not fitting, though, then you might want to stick with whatever works for you and your pod coffee maker. As far as fitting goes, pay no attention to the javapods name, it's just for marketing purposes. Melitta does have their name on some coffee pod machines, but it's just a licensing thing. There's no reason that Melitta's pods would work better with a Melitta branded brewer.

Is There Any Reason Why I Should Choose Melitta Coffee Pods?

There are a few benefits to using Melitta's pods over others. Although their pods fit just about every coffee pod brewer out there, they contain over a quarter more coffee in each pod. More coffee means richer flavor and a stronger brew, which is preferable to most people, although some people might want to avoid stronger coffee if whatever they're drinking makes them twitchy. So, remember, if you're looking to try new things, and wanting to cut down on your caffeine intake, you'll probably want to look elsewhere. Melitta coffee pods are also separately foil wrapped, which seems like a no brainer since freshness is one of the main draws of the coffee pod, but is not necessarily normal.

Does Melitta Make Any Other Pods?

As coffee pod machines, like traditional coffee brewers, are capable of making things aside from coffee, most pod makers also make things that are not coffee. Melitta does as well, making a few different tea blends. As with their coffee, the tea pods they make should fit with no problem in anything that brews coffee pods.
