The comparison of usage and function section is just an advertisement. Is this deliberate?
Check out those photos! Advertisement or what??? I can't see that as being neutral at all... Cmjrees ( talk) 18:06, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
Added a comparison table, mostly because I and my colleagues spent an hour trying to work out if the Nestle Krups Dolce Gusto machines took Nespresso capsules. They don't. Imagin8or ( talk) 13:42, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
If you visit enough coffee and barista forums you will find various claims, many contradictory, about which capsules or pods are compatible with which machines or capsule systems. Could someone with access to many machines and lots of capsules from different systems compile a compatibility table? It appears that in different markets systems are branded differently; for example, in the UK Tesco, Starbucks, K-fee, and Aldi espresso machines all take the K-fee capsules which may not be identified as such by different retailers who have house brands.
Perhaps contributors to this article could try out capsules that appear to be compatible with their machine and produce consistent results reliably could report back to this Talk page? We could cooperatively build a compatibility table here for peer review before it is released onto the article page for consumption by the unsuspecting general public.

This article is called Coffee pod, but also talks about coffee capsules as if these were identical to coffee pods. Perhaps there are some similarities, but they differ so much the article should separate the two. If you look at the same article in other languages, they either just describe coffee pods, or the article is named something neutral like "coffee doses".
Pods (or pads) consists of coffee inside a pad (pod) of filter paper while a coffee capsule is made out of impermeable material, and is packaged in airtight packaged single portions (either the capsule itself is airtight, or the capsule is packaged individually in an airtight bag). These are two very different systems, you should not portray them as the same thing. The article should either have a neutral name, be named coffee pods and capsules, or coffee capsules should be a separate article.
The first option does allow to place pods and capsules in a single comparison table, but then it should have an entry in the table whether a capsule or pod is system is used. Mahjongg ( talk) 23:04, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
I have recently viewed a number of forums related to coffee machines and my impression is that "pod" is the generic term in wide use in the United Kingdom, but elsewhere -- and certainly in Australia -- "capsule" is the generic term. Perhaps there ought to be a disambiguation page or a redirect page so that whatever term is known to the reader redirects here? I don't think we should be giving readers a vocabulary lesson.

I request moving the article to a name more representative of its content, according to rules laid down in Wikipedia:Reasons for moving a page
Clearly the article has been extended beyond describing coffee pods.

While editing out overlinks in the table, I discovered that the date link for Espresso Point MAXI was 1992 in the text, but 1983 in the link. Lavazza, on their English web site, didn't want to talk to me about old products. Does someone know which date is correct? — Aladdin Sane ( talk) 07:54, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
This section is WP:OR, has only one citation [1], and that one citation doesn't even appear to mention single-serve coffee containers. I'm going to remove this section. If anyone wants to recreate such a section on [what should be spelled] "Environmental impact" (and it should be recreated), it should come entirely from sources that mention single-serve coffee containers, such as [2] and [3], and it should contain no original research. Thank you. Softlavender ( talk) 02:30, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Monodor link leads to a dead page since 2017 at least. The last one is from 2016 but all the content seems to be behind Flash plugins. Is there any way to provide links that are useful in modern browsers?
