New owners of Senseo Coffee Makers or Pods Coffee Makers generally love their machines. Senseo makes it so quick and easy to brew the perfect cup or two of coffee. However, you may have noticed that the pods for the Senseo machine are a bit more expensive than the ground coffee you bought by the pound or the beans you bought before.
In addition, with a Senseo or Pods Coffee Maker, you're brewing coffee that tastes just as good as coffee from one of those high priced coffee chains. And, even when you buy the most expensive coffee pods, you're saving a bundle over a visit to Starbucks. But, if you're a heavy coffee drinker, you may still be looking for ways to save a little on those pods. Here are four ways to save money on Coffee Pods and other pods that fit the Pods Coffee Machine.
- Buy pods in bulk online. There are several online vendors that sell coffee pods and other pods that fit the Senseo machines or other Pods Coffee Maker online in bulk packages. By purchasing in bulk, you can save money over buying individual bags of pods at your grocery store. You will likely have access to many more coffee flavors and varieties this way, too. There are some varieties of Senseo coffee pods for example, like Kenya and Kona that are very difficult to find in grocery stores.
- Clip those coupons. If you do buy your Senseo Pods from your grocery store, keep a look out for coupons. Most of the Senseo coupons out are given to you directly from the grocer when you buy the pods. Senseo has marketing arrangements with many large grocery stores to provide in house coupons to Senseo customers. If you buy regularly from the same grocery store, you'll find that you almost will almost always have a coupon that saves you $1 on the purchase of three bags of pods or .75 on the purchase of two bags.
- Buy refillable pods. You can find plastic refillable pods that fit the Senseo or other Pods Coffee Maker at several online retailers. These pods allow you to add any type of ground coffee for a single cup brew. By using refillable pods, you can switch to less expensive coffee, if you desire. The refillable pods are even dishwasher safe.
- Look for less expensive brands. Coffee pods come in all price ranges. Try buying different brands until you find one that you love in a price you love, too. For example, Folger's makes a very inexpensive coffee pod that works quite well in the Senseo coffee maker.
We all love our personal little splurges. And, for coffee lovers, great coffee is definitely worth a little splurge. However, with a little time and effort, you'll find that you can have great coffee from your Pods Coffee Machine without feeling like you've spent too much.
