But there are also some differences between coffee in capsules and pods, curious? Keep reading to discover the differences between capsules and pods!
Coffee in capsules
Coffee in capsules is contained in a small plastic or aluminum wrapper that protects the coffee from oxygen keeping the quality longer compared to pods. Additionally, coffee machines with capsules feature automatic disposal of the aluminum or plastic part that is collected in a container below, making the cleaning of the machine faster and always ready for a second use.
Coffee in pods
Coffee in pods is definitely more economical compared to capsules, in addition to being eco-sustainable, as the material used to contain the coffee powder is usually 100% plant-based paper. Moreover, their compatibility is universal, as the shape of the pod does not change from model to model, which instead happens with coffee in capsules. On the other hand, coffee in pods has disadvantages as the extraction process of the beverage is more cumbersome compared to capsules.

The final choice depends entirely on the taste of the coffee, which is totally subjective. What we recommend is to try both versions and decide which one is best suited to your needs!
