I cannot speak directly about this B&D pod maker myself but I can talk about the Juan Valdez pod maker (from a few months ago at Target, buy a multi-box pod pack, get $60+ pod maker free instantly) and the Melitta pod maker (Linen & Things a month or two back, same deal as the JV). I have the JV maker at home and the Melitta maker at work. I have to say both are incredible makers. The coffee/tea that comes out of the makers is more than hot enough for my tastes (I don't like boiling hot temp coffee). I have noticed that some brands of coffee pods are a little bigger than others but you can simply push the pod down a little into the maker and it will be fine. I have seen the following "flavor" pods: light/medium/dark roast, decaf, french vanilla, hazlenut. I have also seen tea pods for sale as well.
A lot of people might not realize this, but these pod makers aren't just good for making a single cup of coffee/tea... I have used it to brew a 8oz cup of hot water into a mug that had hot chocolate in it, as well as instant coffee (if you run out of pods). I have even used it to whip up some hot water for a bowl of oatmeal!
