Although the Millstone name is not the best known, Millstone coffee pods are quite popular. With so many coffee pod options out there to choose from, it stands to reason that there must be a reason for this. However, coffee pods aren't cheap, so it's worth learning a bit about them before ordering a package from your favorite coffee pod reseller. Let's take a look at Millstone coffee pods to give you an idea of if they are right for you.

What Company Produces Millstone Coffee Pods?

Millstone began as a company over 25 years ago in a small town in Washington. Ironically, even though they're currently well known for their single serve coffee pods, the company pioneered the selling of whole coffee beans straight to supermarkets. In 1996, Proctor and Gamble purchased much of the little company, with the remainder being retained by the founder in the form of Cascade Coffee Company. Proctor and Gamble then spun off The Folgers Coffee Company, including the names Millstone and Folgers. The Folgers Company and The J.M. Smucker Company merged later that same year.

Millstone Coffee Pods And My Coffee Pod Maker

Very few pod coffee makers should have any problem working with Millstone Coffee Pods. When you see coffee pods with the Home Cafe Coffee Pods label on them, you can consider them a generic coffee pod, and bet they'll fit in just about any coffee pod machine. Millstone pods are also reported to be a good fit with K-Cups machines using pod adapters. Be sure to wet your pod just before inserting it in the machine, as with all coffee pods, to get the best results.

What One Can Expect From Millstone

Though the Millstone name has seen more than its share of owners, they each seem to have made a real effort at keeping quality part of the brand. Even now, The J.M Smucker Company seems intent on Millstone being the gourmet coffee pods of their various lines. Although you may pay a bit more, you can generally expect Millstone coffee pods to provide an unusually rich and full taste. Many reviews pit them against Senseo coffee pods, since they fit in the Senseo machines, and Millstone is seen as the superior brand. Options include over 30 various flavors, decaf coffee pods included. Millstone currently does not produce ESE coffee pods, meaning you will need to look at other brands if you want to make espresso in a pod coffee maker.

Finding Millstone Coffee Pods

Remote, lower population areas will often have a hard time finding Millstone Coffee Pods. This is because remote areas are far less likely to purchase high end coffees, such as Millstone, so The J.M. Smucker Company avoids having them compete with the better known Folgers name. However, coffee pods are easy and cheap to ship, and you can find them at all sorts of online outlets.
