Coffee from coffee pods and freshly ground coffee not only differ in taste, the way they are prepared also differs. But how exactly do they differ?
This is where opinions differ – coffee pods or ground coffee
Thanks to the constant developments on the coffee market, there are now very different ways of preparing coffee. The world of coffee machines is correspondingly diverse. While some focus on speed and simplicity, others focus on aromatic coffee enjoyment. That’s why both coffee pods and freshly ground coffee have their place. Both types of preparation have advantages and disadvantages. Ultimately, enjoying coffee is a question of personal taste and preferences.
Coffee pads – the quick coffee without taste?
Coffee machines with coffee pads and capsules are currently real bestsellers. Hardly surprising, after all, coffee pods are incredibly practical: They are pre-portioned, there is a large selection of types and they are quite cheap to buy. In addition, the coffee machines look decorative and they are available at a comparatively low price. The variety of different flavors caters to every preference. Especially when visitors are coming up, a pad or capsule machine enables individual coffee enjoyment within a few minutes.
However, it is controversial whether coffee from the pad machine is real coffee enjoyment. Regardless of whether it is a soft pad or a coffee capsule, the coffee powder is already ground and therefore not as aromatic as freshly ground coffee. In addition, not all capsules and pads are compatible with all machines. A big disadvantage is mainly on the part of the capsule machines: plastic waste is produced with every cup of coffee. Here the pad machines are much more environmentally friendly, even if they don’t do completely without waste.
Coffee pods or ground coffee – just a matter of taste?
In fact, various factors are taken into account when deciding on the right coffee machine. The price of the machine and the ingredients also play a role, as does the ease of preparation and the taste. Presumably everyone drinking coffee should set their own priorities. If you don’t have time for handmade coffee in the morning, coffee pads are a good choice. Anyone who likes to celebrate drinking coffee can certainly be enthusiastic about a somewhat more complex preparation. A fully automatic coffee machine combines effortless preparation with the best coffee enjoyment and is therefore also a great alternative for families. Single households can combine different machines with each other: the coffee pad machine for a quick coffee in the morning and the French press for enjoying coffee on a quiet afternoon or weekend.
