The minimum order quantity (MOQ) for coffee pods varies significantly among coffee pod manufacturers, designed to ensure profitability and cover production costs. For example, some subscription services, like Nespresso, may require a minimum of 50 capsules for auto-delivery, often offering free standard delivery at this threshold. Pricing models typically include tiered discounts, where larger orders, such as purchasing five or more packs from Tassimo, can lead to substantial savings, or membership pricing like Cometeer's $2/cup for 40 cups. Shipment terms, often defined by Incoterms, outline delivery responsibilities; EXW (Ex-Works) means the buyer handles transport from the factory, while DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) implies the seller covers costs to the final destination.
