Bunn My Cafe Coffee Pod Carousel - Hold 36 Coffee Pods

The My Café Pod Carousel is designed for use with the Bunn My Cafe MC Model coffee pod and tea brewer in mind, and this coffee pod carousel will organize and display 36 of your favorite coffee and tea pods with it's spinning action. The stylish chrome construction looks great on any countertop (we have pictures to prove it below.) If you aren't using a carousel with your coffee and tea pods then you're missing out on being able to peruse your coffee and tea collection prior to brewing which for us is the most fun part of our single serve coffee morning.

Our coffee pod carousel from Bunn.

At My Café Pod Carousel and thanks to Bunn for sending us to keep things organized.

Review: Barnie's Global Blend Coffee Pods

Toward the end of last year we were happy to see a few new retailers enter the pod market. Most recognizable among them was Dunkin’ Donuts with a limited release of 5 pod varieties in select parts of the country (check our forums for all the details). Shortly thereafter, Florida-based Barnie’s Coffee & Tea Co. introduced its own line of pods with comparatively little fanfare. However, Bunn has since chosen them as a featured pod brand in the promotion of their new pod brewer, the Bunn My Cafe Home. So what kind of cup can we extract from these Barnie’s pods? Let’s start by focusing on one in particular, the Global Blend.

Barnie’s describes its Global Blend as a combination of South and Central American beans grown without the use of pesticides or fertilizers and roasted medium. We like the fact that this coffee is organic and Fair Trade-certified. Tastewise, there’s even more to like here.

Dunkin' Donuts Single Cup Coffee Pods - Company Tests Single Serve Coffee Waters

Photo: Wendy Maeda/ Globe Staff

Dunkin' Donuts is finally making single serve coffee pods, and though we're excited about their debut it's only a test. Right now Dunkin' has decided to see if the single serve coffee market is ready for Dunkin' by making single serve coffee pods that will work in your Senseo, Grindmaster GPOD or OPOD, Bunn My Cafe, Cuisinart SS-1 Cup-O-Matic, Cafe Invento, Melitta One:One, simplehuman, Krups 1010, Home Cafe, Melitta MES5B Javapod, Kienna Sun Cafe, and other single-serve coffee pod brewers. They'll be seeing how the test sampling of coffee pods sells, and we expect also conducting interviews with the coffee pod users.

This is a very interesting coffee pod launch because of one major factor - they are not coupling it with a brewer. Dunkin' Donuts is relying on the installed base of single serve coffee pod brewers (one cup coffee pod brewers) to be their coffee delivery systems. Given the fact Senseo has not debuted a model or Home Cafe for over 2+ years - we wonder how successful this test will be. We do know if you're looking for a Senseo or other coffee pod brewer, you'll find them at Amazon and other online retailers for around $69.

There is both a counter promotion at the register, and a large
floor display for the Dunkin' Donut coffee pods.

We stopped over at our local Dunkin' Donuts and found people had purchased about 1/3 of the display of Dunkin' Donut coffee pods since it debuted on Saturday according to one of the employees. We were able to purchase the following Dunkin' Donut coffee pods from the displays:

• Dunkin' Donuts Original Blend Coffee Pods
• Dunkin' Donuts Dark Blend Coffee Pods
• Dunkin Donuts French Vanilla Coffee Pods
• Dunkin Donuts Decaf Coffee Pods
• Dunkin Donuts Hazelnut Coffee Pods

Each of the coffee pod boxes come packed with 8 coffee pods in individual vacuum sealed sleeves priced at $3.99 a box making each coffee pod cost $.50. Not bad, and a standard price for most coffee pods is in the .34-55 range. We were able to purchase each of the above coffee pods from Dunkin' Donuts, and as far as we can tell for the time being the only place you can purchase Dunkin' Donut coffee pods will be at their retail locations.

We will have a full review soon with our impressions, final coffee pod weights, and more on this exciting development in the world of Single Serve Coffee.

Via The Boston Globe and the Single Serve Coffee Forums

Update: The Dunkin' One Cup site is live. It features brewer tips and tricks, along with a FAQ and profiles of the Dunkin' Donut One Cup coffee pods available. They list the Black & Decker Home Cafe, Senseo Supreme, Mr. Coffee SL13, Cuisinart W1CM5, Wolfgang Puck, Cuisinart Cup-O-Matic, and Hamilton Beach coffee pod brewers as compatible. We recommend the above list of coffee pod brewers along with the list from Dunkin'.
