</font><font color="blue" class="small">( Boondox,

Never having actually looked at one of those "pods", I have to confess ignorance as to how they are constructed. Do they also seal in the freshness like the K-cups? It seems to me that the K-cups would be better in that area.

Are there other brewers that use the K-cups? )</font>

John -- How about you just PM me your mailing address and I'll send you some? You're correct, Keurig has a greater potential for freshness than pods. Our pods are nitrogen flushed, never vacuum sealed, but still the K-cup is king for single serve freshness.

Keurig is proprietary, so while there are three manufacturers of the K-cups, it takes a Keurig brewer to use them. There are other single serve cups out there in a mix of ground and liquid forms, but it's hard to beat the K-cup.
