    I clearly like Nespresso original line with its strong flavor and aroma.

    I used to drinks few cups a day of different kind of K-cups  and also the brewed one. 
    I love the Starbucks cheapest variety the earthy smell one.

    I am sure if I buy my own coffee and make at home, I will pay less than Starbucks cheapest variety.

    Before I read this article, I had very little knowledge of the varieties of coffee available in the market. I will refer to this site while go for my coffee shopping.

    Michael – Thanks pointing out the differences amongst the types of coffee serving methodologies.  I travel often for business and do not always have the time or luxury to explore local geography for my favorite coffee brand and brew method.

    Before Airbnb came along, most of my business travel found me lodging at various hospitality venues and so, have a great deal of experience with capsules and pods.

    In contrast to your own experience, I’ve found pods to be far more flavorful than capsules.  

    Since coffee is such an important start to my day and often times, my evenings, I will actually select my lodging venue based on opportunity(ies) to enjoy a good cup of java.

    Wondering if you have considered polling the major hospitality venues in the hopes of compiling a list of types of coffee and capsule vs pod available in rooms?

      MMarco,

      Thank you for your comments. I will take your suggestion, and will investigate further. I have tried all the pods/pads and capsules and I suggest if you have a chance to try the Nespresso Vertuo line of capsules. They’re incredible. Thank you

    There is so much great information in this post! I did not know about all these choices in brewing coffee! I have a Keurig myself, and love all the options and flavors of coffee that are available. I love the taste, although I admit that I have not compared it to other types of coffee brewing machines. The K cups do seem to keep the coffee very fresh for a long period of time.

    You are right, when I saw the title, I was like what is the difference? .The thing I don’t like about the coffee pod is that when I make coffee for my boyfriend { i don’t take coffee}  i see it separate and form some particles in the coffee, that of K-cup I will try that out. 

    Thank you for reviewing this

      Thank you for your comments. The best tasting encapsulated coffee comes from the Nespresso vertuo line of capsules, but Keurig caps or better than pods. Thank you,

    I don’t like strong coffee, I much prefer a mellow version. Having tasted coffee from lots of different coffee machines i came to the conclusion that my favourite coffee comes from the Nespresso Vertuo line. When I went shopping to get a machine this was the one i chose. The freshness of the coffee is so noticeable compared to some of the others on offer. There are many different varieties available now, which as a coffee lover is a good thing. Thanks for the great information.

    Nespresso makes a third, professional, line that uses foil wrapped disc-shaped pads. I wander whether ESE pods could be used in those machines.

      Thank you for your question.  These ESE pods will work in a machine that is  designed for ESE pods, or one that can use both grinds or ESE pods.Basically, Coffee Pads brewing process is almost opposite of capsule process, and needs a slow-pressure, almost a drip system in order to brew correctly. Nespresso capsules are vacuum packed, and are designed to withstand the high pressure of a capsule coffee machine, which needs constant pressure to effectively and properly brew the coffee contained inside. Please read my article that explains further. https://gourmetcoffee4coffeelovers.com/differences-between-nespresso-capsules-k-cups-and-coffee-podspads/
