Single Serve Coffee Pods

Single-serve coffee pods are a convenient and easy way to make a cup of coffee. Learn more about how to use them and find out if this is the best option for your coffee-making needs.

 Single-serve coffee pods started becoming popular around 2010 with the invention of Keurig.  These are nice because this is the most convenient method.  Just pop a pod into the machine and push a button.  Naturally this means the least control over the outcome, but at the same time it allows for the most consistency.  This could be good or bad, it means you always get the cup you love or the cup you don't like.

    I use single serve coffee pods here, and there. I normally make a cup of coffee using my French press. But if I find that I am busy, and need a quick cup of joe, I use my single serve coffee pods.

Why Drink Coffee? One of the problems I have been noticing is a collection of studies that all seem to contradict each other.  I remember reading about how bad coffee is for you and then another one that discusses the health benefits.  So which is it?  Should I drink it or not?  Not being a scientist I really am not qualified to give a definitive answer, but being armed with some amount of common sense, I can tell you that most of the contradictions are based on flawed studies.  If we look at a population that drinks a pot of coffee to stay awake because they are up all night, then notice that they are on average less healthy than those that get a good night of rest.   It would be easy to conclude that coffee is contributing to this disparity if you fail to consider the difference in lifestyle.  Some of the studies that are more favorable to coffee take this into account for more of an apples-to-apples comparison.

Emotional Attachments to Coffee

Discover the emotional attachments people have to coffee and the impact it can have on their mental and emotional health. Explore the relationship between coffee and emotions, as well as coping with loss and grief through coffee rituals.  I have been watching a show with my wife called "This is us" on NBC lately.  In one episode a character makes coffee for herself and her husband because that is how her mornings usually went.  After filling up his cup the realization that he just died hits her again.  Fortunately, I have not shared that experience yet, but it made me think.        When talking about the term ritual many think about religion.  One of the definitions according to Webster is "an act or series of acts regularly repeated in a set precise manner".  When I wake up, making coffee is part of my morning ritual.  How it is done exactly is also a ritual.  I know exactly how much of each ingredient to use.  I mak...

     Discover the captivating journey of coffee beans, bringing the rich aroma and exquisite taste of freshly brewed coffee to the world.      To ensure that you can trace the origin of your coffee and avoid any potential supply chain issues, growing your coffee is the best way to go. While it is generally true that coffee is grown in tropical regions at altitudes above 2,500 feet, this should not stop you from growing your own for personal consumption. Growing coffee from seeds takes about three years for the coffee tree to bear fruit.  Each tree yields about one pound of coffee beans per year.      Once it is ready, you will need to  pick the cherries. crush the cherries. soak them in a bucket of water for a day. separate the pulp from the beans. spread the beans out on a tarp or cookie sheet in the sun stirring regularly during the two-day drying process.       Once complete, the finished product is ready for ...
