Cool Beans Coffee

If you are unfamiliar with Melitta coffee pods, they are little sealed filters of pre-ground coffee that fit into special brewers to make a single cup of coffee. Several coffee producers make coffee pods, but few make universal pods that fit other brand makers. A Melitta coffee pod can fit into a few other brand models without a hitch, however, Straying from the norm, Melitta prefers the term javapods rather than using the standard “coffee pods” like other coffee producers.

You might be familiar with the Melitta name. They’ve been in the coffee filter business for decades, so it only makes sense that they would invest in single serving coffee pods. They compete directly with Senseo and Tassimo coffee products but the Melitta brand is unique in that they do make universal fitting coffee pods. Their pods fit Senseo makers, but not Tassimo as Tassimo makes a pod called a T-Disc.

While it isn’t bad to have a pod of coffee that is unique to your brand, you do limit yourself in the market for consumers who like to try different brands without wanting to purchase a lot of equipment. That’s where Melitta took action. Even though there still is no standard in coffee pod size, some makers are striving towards a standard allowing the consumer more options.

Being that these particular pods are labeled “Universal” you be assured that they will fit most pod coffee makers out there. Unless your maker doesn’t take pods you shouldn’t have any problem. The Javapods are the same thing as coffee pods, so don’t let that distract you. However, you still have the option of purchasing a Melitta pod coffee maker.

The coffee within their pods offer a fuller flavor than most other coffees. This is because there is more coffee in their pods, nearly a quarter more than other brands. A stronger, richer brew is the result, which is what every coffee addict wants. Each pod comes in a separately wrapped foil pack to preserve freshness.
