- "Coffee-pod" is also a name for the Chinese Senna, Senna obtusifolia.
Coffee pods (also called coffee pads) are pre-packaged ground coffee beans in their own filter. Senseo is a patented coffee maker which uses these. A court ruled that their patent does not cover the pods, and that other companies may manufacture and sell pods that are compatible with the Senseo system. In non-English speaking countries like Germany and The Netherlands the word pad is used instead of pod.
A variation, coffee bags, were developed to provide the convenience of instant coffee but maintain the flavor of brewed coffee. Modeled after tea bags, they consist of a gauze bag containing a mixture of instant coffee and finely ground roast coffee, which is to be steeped in hot water for approximately five minutes.
