So this means you do not have to do any grinding and mixing, because the pods are vacuumed sealed no air or moister can enter and the pods can be stored for months without going stale.
Most Pod Coffee Makers are Single Cup Coffee Makers which make them popular because you don't have to brew a whole pot of coffee when you only want 1 or two cups.

QUESTION:
Will Tassimo T-Pods fit in a Keurig Coffee Maker?
I have a Keurig Coffee maker but I love Gevalia coffee and they only make Gevalia coffee in T-Pods for a Tassimo coffee maker my question is will the t-pods still fit in my keurig?-
ANSWER:
No, the K-Cups are completely different than the T-Pods and are not interchangeable. I'm not a big fan of these machines in general, but I think you're better off with what you have.K-Cups are sealed away from air that ruins the preground coffee, so they taste as fresh as such a machine can be. T-Pods aren't sealed, so once you open the package the clock is ticking. If you want true Gevalia coffee flavor, get a french press, add boiling water, wait 3-4 minutes, and you'll have fresh, rich coffee no machine can duplicate. Otherwise, just stay with the Keurig.

QUESTION:
Keurig Coffee Brewer and Pods?
My mom wants a single cup coffee maker for christmas, and I was searching around and it seems like the best kind is a keurig. True?Since my mom isn't into any fancy coffees or teas or anything, I was wondering if this system allows other brands of pods to be used in it? I'll use the k-cups as well, but I think she would mainly use the Folger's coffee pods.
Any help would be great and let me know if you like this machine! Or, if you'd like to suggest a different brand of brewer, thats good too:) Thanks!

ANSWER:
The Keurig system is exclusive, that is to say that it can only use their own pods. Most other manufacturers do this as they don't want you buying someone else's product. The system can get quite pricey because of the cost of individually packaging each cup of coffee.

QUESTION:
Question about Keurig coffee maker?
Hi! I'd like to buy some coffee for my aunt but she doesn't have a conventional coffee machine. (she has a Keurig machine - dont know which kind though) I was wondering if it would be possible to buy coffee beans for her? I've never really heard of the machine she has but it has it's own filter supposedly. -> here's a picture: http://www.lowellvending.com/images/Keurig-b50_detail_intro.jpgIs it like the S enseo pods where you can buy an empty pod filter and fill it with the coffee of your choice or is it exclusive to the coffee filled filter that's made for the specific kind of coffee maker she has?
Please let me know!

ANSWER:
We've got the Keurig Platinum B70 Special Edition and it's great. Keurig does have what they call a K-cup which is a reusable filter that you can fill with your choice of grinds. Works in Keurig home brewers B40 Elite, B50 Ultra, and B60 Special Edition but does not not fit B100, B100P, or B2000/3 Keurig brewers. It works for us but you will have to check about hers. There is also a K-Cap that is sold on Ebay which you can adapt to empty K-cups so you can refill them.Hope this helps.

QUESTION:
I need help with my Keurig coffee machine?
I have been using my Keurig machine making coffee with the K cups for about 7 months. This afternoon, I was in the kitchen, no where near the coffee maker when all of a sudden it started pouring water out of the spout, steaming and making brewing noise. When I opened up the pod holder, the pod that was in there from this morning had burst and there were coffee grounds all over the inside of the pod holder. I unplugged it right away, cleaned it up and now when I plug it in it's dead. No lights, nothing. Did anyone else ever have this happen to them? Any ideas or suggestions?-
ANSWER:
I've had my Keurig for about almost two years now and love it. Double check to see if your machine is plugged into a socket that has a GFI. It sounds like a power surge or something of that nature. If that's the case you need to hit the little red button on the socket. I forget this from time to time!! I've been hoping mine would kick the bucket so I could get the model that brews 3 sizes instead of the one I have that only brews 2. You can also call 1-888-try-gmcr. They are super helpful...it's where I get my coffee. Good luck and I hope it works by morning!!!!
