Born to brew a better single-serve coffee experience

The Pod Pack story starts in Europe, where our founders saw an emerging trend and recognized an upcoming need in the U.S. market.

Our Mission and Story

In 1996, industry veterans Bill Powell and Tom Martin observed that food service providers in Europe had begun to use single-serve espresso pods, and they leapt at the chance to deliver simple, convenient coffees and teas back home in the United States.

From our humble start in a 400-square-foot New Orleans facility, Pod Pack has grown into a full-service co-manufacturer of single-serve coffee and tea pods and cups. We now operate two modern coffee manufacturing facilities in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Seattle, Washington. Through it all, we’ve maintained a friendly, family-like culture with a shared vision: to offer high-quality products and create profitable solutions for our clients while providing the best customer service in the industry.

The Diversity of Single-Serve Coffee Solutions

Single-serve coffee and tea are two of the more versatile beverage options available, as they can easily cater to a wide range of tastes and preferences. At Pod Pack, we understand how important it is to offer your customers the gift of choice, which is why we have a large selection of single-serve products. From private label Keurig® compatible cups to soft pods and filter packs, you can rely on us for premium single-serve and bagged coffee solutions that result in profits for your business.

Our single-serve and coffee bag solutions ensure that our customers can offer retail-ready coffee at-scale . Whether you want to offer your customers, guests, or patients' classic flavors or unique blends, our diverse range is an excellent choice for delicious beverages.

Innovative Solutions

Innovation is critical to Pod Pack’s position as an industry leader. Every day, our team works to engineer new single-serve solutions, challenge traditional boundaries and industry conventions, support ongoing R&D, and seek creative opportunities.

In the lab, we analyze grind particle size, roast colors, bulk density, extraction rates, and total dissolved solids to create a better, more satisfying coffee and tea experience. We also work with brewer manufacturers to understand the capabilities of making coffee and tea and create fresh, convenient, and consistent products for seven market channels. And we do it all with a company-wide focus on sustainability and social responsibility.

Sustainability Commitment

At Pod Pack, we take sustainability seriously. From social and economic to environmental initiatives, we take a comprehensive approach to benefit your company and the environment. We care about the planet's future, as seen through services such as:

Green Packaging

Many of our single-serve solutions use compostable packaging. We also use recycled materials when possible and limit our usage of harmful plastics.

Recyclable Single-Serve Solutions

In addition to green packaging, our retail-ready cartons use corrugated packaging with recyclable materials.

Sustainable Coffee Manufacturing
