Freshly ground coffee is undoubtedly the best choice for those who are looking for high-quality fresh coffee. But for those who live a fast-paced life and don't have much free time, simple and fast is the best choice. Bags of instant coffee are common in the market, but in recent years, a variety of coffee capsules and coffee pods(pads) have become popular. In addition to coffee capsules for coffee machines, there are also a variety of ground coffee cups in various shapes with branded designs. These are also called coffee capsules.

Relatively speaking, coffee pods are not as popular as coffee capsules, so maybe some people don't know that much. What is the difference between coffee capsule and coffee pod? I will introduce it to you below.

Coffee Capsule

You may already be familiar with coffee capsules. Depending on the brand, they are made of aluminum or plastic and are used to fill the containers for ground coffee. It is generally in the shape of a cup, sealed with aluminum film or paper-like film. Some coffee capsules will have perforations at the bottom, which are convenient for the coffee machine to drip filter coffee powder. The coffee powder is generally freshly ground and sealed in the capsule. There is another type of coffee capsule, which is a cup-shaped container with a sealing film and a lid, and no holes at the bottom. The coffee powder is generally freeze-dried coffee powder or granules, which can be poured directly into the cup during brewing without the need for a coffee machine to drip.

Coffee capsules can be filled by the rotary coffee capsule filling machine, and the capsule container is prefabricated.

Coffee Pod/Pad

The coffee pod/pad is formed by pressing the upper and lower layers of film, and contains coffee powder. The shape is round. The membrane can be selected from Paper Filter, Non-woven fabrics and Corn fiber. It uses a special coffee machine drip.

The coffee pod/pad can be packed by the round coffee pod packing machine.
