Same difference. A Keurig Single Cup Coffee Maker is basically top of the line. It may not even cost as much as some of the competition, but the resulting brew and convenience is unsurpassed in quality (according to this reviewer).

First about quality. There are these little containers called K cups that are each filled with the exact amount of grounds to make you a consistently excellent beverage every time you press the “brew button”. The difference between these containers and other “pods” is that they are sealed immediately after being filled. No atmospheric intrusion at all can occur. This is important so that the integrity of the grounds is not degraded at all. You expect perfection with each mug, and you get it. The pods of other brands are usually (but not always) wrapped in a filter material that will be exposed to the air when opened. If not used immediately, they will “change” because of the interaction with air and humidity.

So why does it make any difference? It’s to do with what happens when you attach the portafilter to the machine and turn it on. The water (as steam) will be forced through the layer of coffee that is sitting in the porta filter. It follows the path of least resistance; any unevenness in the layer of coffee provides a route for the steam to move through that bypasses a lot of the coffee that you have paid for and placed there so lovingly. What a waste!! By tamping you foil the steam’s sneaky attempts to find an easy way through; it has no choice but to work its way through all of the coffee. This way you maximise the potential of all of the coffee that you have placed into the porta filter.

So how do you tamp? It’s really quite simple and should only take 30 seconds. Once you’ve dosed the right amount of coffee into the portafilter, you are ready for the first tamp. Place the tamper (use a metal tamper; not a plastic one) on top of the coffee and press gently (apply about 5lbs of pressure). Once you have done this, you will notice that some of the grounds will stick to the side of the basket in the portafilter. Knock these back onto the tamped coffee by tapping the whole porta filter gently against your hand or something solid.

Since that brewer has arrived at work, I have had consistently excellent coffee. I am totally sold. And although I am not an expert by any means, I know what I like. Here is my take on what makes this a consistent way to get your home made brew. The beans are roasted and ground and put immediately into those little one-cup containers. At that point they are sealed and are never again exposed to air and humidity again until they are pierced by the little device as the hot water is introduced to make the brew.

My theory is that the freshness and the exact same amount of grounds create a consistent outcome. So I now have a new Keurig Single Serving coffee maker sitting on the kitchen counter. I am one happy morning person these days. Just thought you would like to know.
