Well the simple answer to that question is how much money are you going to spend, because if it’s as much as 200 bucks, then you can go all out for one of the big gun pod brewers such as the Keurig B70 platinum, there is no question in my mind that the B70 is the daddy of pod brewing machines at the moment, you could argue that I’m wrong on that one, but there is time for hat debate later.
The main reason to go for a drip coffee brewer then is the cost. Yep. You will be able to save your self a good hundred bucks, and even though you can get decent pod brewers for around 100 dollars, you may not quite have that kind of a budget. I would say that for anyone wanting a coffee maker around the 50, 60 dollar mark, then the Cuisinart DCC-1200BCH is a great choice. While I think that you could get your self a cheaper Mr. Coffee for about 20 dollars, you want to make sure that the coffee you actually end up drinking is as tasty as it possibly can be.
With the single servers, especially those from Keurig you no longer have to worry about the range of the coffee blends available either, with blends like coffee people jet fuel k-cups being readily available from the Keurig store and from other online stores such as amazon.com.
Thanks terribly much for taking the time out to look over this short article about the differences between pod and drip brewers. I hope that you were able to take away some information that was useful to you.
