Not to mention that I, and I suspect most members of this board, would never buy a 'pod' system for either drip or espresso that locked you into a small variety of coffees that you could only buy from the manufacturer. I suspect that these items will be like selling razors: the razors themselves are relatively cheap, where you really make the money is selling the blades.

How is this any more "revolutionary" or amazing than the Melitta one-cup? Sounds like the same thing to me. And a coffee brewing device marketed by Folgers and Millstone sounds about as promising as if McDonalds decided to sell a table top grill, along with packages of frozen bun, thin crappy beef patties, freeze dried onions, and packets of "special sauce", so that you could "enjoy" a Big Mac at home.

I was just in my local neighborhood True Value hardware store and they are selling the Melitta One, with boxes of coffee pods on the shelf right next to them. Hardware guys selling coffee. Well, I say selling, they're stocking it, whether they're selling any isn't clear and I didn't ask. It definitely had the most prominent position in their coffee maker section.
Maybe the one-cup pod brewers are going to take over the mass market like CD's over vinyl. But then, maybe not.
