Coffee Pots

[GlendaO]

Do all the resorts in the same class use the same type coffee pots?
If so, does anyone know what type the Moderates use?
Thanks!

They are changing all the coffee pots over from the drip to the Cuisenart pod's. I think the mod's are still drip as they are starting with the deluxes. I don't think anyone knows if the mod's will be next.

See this post from POR at the end of February. It is from the POR thread.

"We are at Port Orleans Riverside now, and I was happy to see the new coffee makers in our room. They are dual side cuisinart, with small pod single serve cup size. So if you can find a filter pod that is like a disk and not a keurig.. I would bring some. The coffee is cuisinart brand coffee, I tried some the first day, but have gone down with the refillable cup and just used the food court coffee....."

Hope that helps.

Thanks. I'll try to find some that are strong - I have to have my coffee!

NEW WDW ROOM COFFEE COMING TO WDW RESORTS: (3/26/2012)

1) Resorts are converting to Cuisinart dual-cup "pod" coffee makers.
. . . the room is stocked with 2-reg & 2-decaf coffee pods and 2-teabags
. . . the coffee is 100% Arabica bean, very tasty
. . . eventually all resorts will have these during 2012
. . . some DVC rooms might remain with "Mr Coffee" style pots
. . . brews one cup at-a-time, or two cups side-by-side simultaneously
. . . brews 8-oz cup of coffee in less than 3 minutes
. . . illuminated power button and shuts off when water reservoir is empty
. . . separate water reservoir for each side
. . . one side can make coffee while other side does plain water for tea
. . . mugs are provided in room, but uses any standard size cup or mug
2) Each Cuisinart pod filter makes one cup of brew.
. . . decaffeinated and decaffeinated coffee pods are provided in each room
. . . maids will give more pods if asked, not just the two pods supplied
. . . teas bags are also in each room
. . . tea bags are Twinings Earl Grey Black and Twinings Green Tea
3) Pods:
. . . these are not k-cup pods/inserts, but are standard coffee "pods"
. . . they look much like tea a bag without a string, except, filled with coffee
. . . only one pod can be inserted at a time into each slide tray
. . . there are other pods that are available on the open market or Internet


NOTE: All resorts are converting to these pod coffee makers. As an example,
Grand Floridian was converted in February, 2012.

NOTE2: We were told that the Cuisanart was selected due to both price and
the "pod" filters. With the pods, guests are less likely to take extra coffee packs
home, since they can't use them in typical home pots like Mr Coffee or Keurig.
This saves a lots of coffee money.

Okay. I'll pick up a box of Cuisinart pods before we go. I really have to have a cup of strong coffee to start my day!
