Coffee Pods: Money Savers?

If you consider the amount of coffee per dollar, pods are going to be more expensive, and the reasons are obvious. Say you're cooking dinner for twenty people. Should you make them all some Hamburger Helper, or make them individual hamburgers? Which one is going to be cheaper, and which one will they like better? I'm betting the answers there are pretty universal, and the same holds for coffee pods. They're fresher and more customizable to taste than your standard cup of coffee. Also, before you look at costs too closely, be sure to factor in how much coffee gets thrown down the drain because it's old or stale before another pot is made, only for most of that pot to suffer the same fate a few hours later. Traditional coffee pots are, let's face it, wasteful and not at all efficient. Does it make sense for you or your office to switch to pods? That's largely a personal decision, but I would at least give coffee pods some thought.
