coffee pod
Single-serve grounds container
A coffee pod is a small, sealed container holding a pre-measured portion of ground coffee, designed for single-serve brewing machines.
The pod is inserted into a compatible machine that punctures it and forces hot water through: I grabbed a coffee pod and had my cup ready in under a minute.
Pods offer convenience but generate significant plastic waste.
