Pods vs. ground coffee? Where do you stand on the caffeine-related pendulum? Taste, time, and cost all come into account when you're judging the different types of coffee. But which is your mode d'emploi on morning coffee break? And, after reading this guide — will you be tempted to shake things up?

We'll go over which is speedier to make, the one that wins the flavor test, and how much you should expect to pay for each. You'll be pleased to know that you don't even need a coffee maker for one of them. Spoiler: It's the ground coffee. One thing's for certain. Both give you an energy boost (it's my pre-workout essential) and are a great excuse to invite friends and family over. But whichever you use, make sure you drink your coffee in style with one of our best coffee mugs.
