Contrasting Green Mountain Coffee Pods And Other Options by Connie Osmond

While they're not even actually coffee pods in the traditional sense, Green Mountain Coffee Pods are one of the most well known coffee pod brands out there. Actually, they are K-Cups. This means they'll only work in a K-Cup brewer, which is made be Keurig. We won't be talking about traditional coffee pods at all, so if that is all you're looking for, you should look elsewhere. If you own, or plan to buy a Keurig K-Cup machine, though, read onward.

Green Mountain Coffee Is Quite Green

With a name like green mountain, you would think that the company was rather old and from Ireland or something. In reality, Green Mountain Coffee was founded in Vermont in 1981. This makes them very new to the coffee world, especially with older companies having been around since the mid 1800s. The company actually started as a tiny cafe in rural Waitsfield, Vermont, where they roasted and served coffee. It didn't take long before local restaurants began clamoring to buy Green Mountain Coffee to serve in their own establishments.

What Makes Green Mountain Special?

Green Mountain Coffees managed to grow very quickly in an extremely competitive industry. How were they able to distinguish themselves? Well, there's a myriad of reasons they're different, but let's focus on flavors and selections. Green Mountain Coffees does not try to compete with the big guys whose bread and butter is traditional and decaf type offerings. They do provide a French roast, a breakfast blend, and their "Our Blend", that all of the coffee shops in Vermont were begging for at one point, but they also have a ton of unique offerings. At the time of this writing, Green Mountain Coffees produced more than 100 different coffees under a handful of labels.

Will Green Mountain Coffees Work In My Pod Coffee Maker?

Since Green Mountain Coffee makes only Keurig K-Cups, they're not going to fit in the standard coffee pod brewer. Green Mountain likely won't ever make a normal coffee pod, as you would find in the Home Cafe system, so the standard coffee pod machine will probably remain out of luck. This is because, a few years ago, Green Mountain Coffees actually bought Keurig. It's quite likely that this is the whole reason that K-Cups have been such a hit, even though they're different from normal pod coffee makers. If you're really bent on making it work, or if you just enjoy making your own coffee pods, you could always purchase Green Mountain's loose coffee and do it that way.

Does Green Mountain Make Anything Other Than Coffee?

Green Mountain produces some items that aren't coffee, though generally under different labels. They use the name Celestial Seasonings with their teas, and make some hot chocolates under the name Cafe Escapes. Unfortunately, these are strictly available as K-Cups, so unless you own one of Keurig's machines, or plan to buy one, you're still out of luck.
