What Coffee Pods Are the Best?

1. Folgers Coffee Pods

Folgers coffee pods are the pods manufactured by the Folgers Coffee Company, which is part of the food and beverage division of The J.M. Smucker Co, being designed for use with one cup brewing systems such as the company’s Home Cafe.

Folgers coffee pods labels

Folgers labels its pods as being part of the Home Cafe system. The Home Cafe system is really just a trademarked version of a generic pod, owned by the company that made some of the first pod coffee makers, Bunn. Make sure when you order, though, that you’re ordering the right product. There can be some confusion with a few of Folgers products. Double check that any product you plan to use with a coffee pod maker is labeled Home Cafe, and called Folgers Pods.

2. ESE coffee pods

The Easy Serving Espresso Pods, or ESE coffee pods, are pods manufactured by illycaffè S.p.A., the Italian coffee company. The E.S.E. design was created by illy in 1989 as a marketing effort to sell convenience in home espresso preparation. The Easy Serving Espresso system is a brand protected by the Italian ESE Consortium for Development, and is standardized within the industry to assist manufacturers with a quality standard and widen accessibility to the market. Many espresso machines support both pods and ground coffee, including brands other than illy. The E.S.E. specification was intended to be an open design to encourage wide adoption.
