Coffee pods are convenient, but costly, usually around .40 per cup versus less than .10 per cup when brewed in a regular pot. The taste is similar to brewed.
Coffee pods taste the same as regular coffee. The only thing different is the price. Stick with your regular coffee pot, you get more for your money and it tastes the same.
Coffee pods are worth the cost because they aren't much more expensive than regular cans of coffee beans/grounds. They taste the same as regular coffee from a can.
Coffee pods are expensive purely for the conveinence. The taste of the coffee is no better than a cup from the local gas station dispenser. The flavor is a seconday thought.
