Pod Coffee Systems

Single cup systems have become more and more popular in the office coffee service realm over the last 10 to 15 years.  In the last 9 months, unfortunately, we have seen the price of these products go up 30% percent.  Whereas the price per cup used to be in the 42-45 cent per cup range, it is now upwards of 60 cents per cup.  For many offices this could mean an increase of thousands of dollars per year!  

There is an answer that combines quality and affordability -  Pod Coffee Systems.  The new pod systems feature all the same selections of coffees as traditional single cup brewers and the cost per cup is about 20% less.  The pods are biodegradable and compostable  so they don't have the negative impact on the environment that other single cup brewers have (filling up landlfills by the millions with non recyclable coffee capsules).   Some recognizable roasters have gotten into the Pod coffee production, including Barney's, Wolfgang Puck and many others will soon be following suit.  Unfortunately many office coffee service administrators have had to deal with significant price increases for single cup coffee systems over the last several months, but they do have an option. 

We at The Gourmet Coffee Co have converted many customers to the Pod system and the response has been fantiastic - our customers love the quality and are quite pleased to be paying per cup what they were paying a year ago, before coffee prices started soaring!  If you are an office coffee service administrator and struggling with the price of your single cup system, consider the Pod system.  They are not just a substitute for a single cup system, but an upgrade.  These systems include the Fresh Cup, which brews all different kinds of Coffees & Teas and The Cafe Express which offers 10 drink selections inlcuding Coffees, Teas, Lattes, Espresso, Cappacinos, Hot Chocolate and more!   The Hot Chocolate is by far the best on the market!
