Use a Coffee Pod with your Coffee Machine!
Coffee Pods are used in more and more coffee machines these days. There are a lot of different machines to chose from and so there are a lot of different pods available.
Ideally when it comes to making coffee you want to have a wide range of choices available, such as Espesso to a Cappuccinos and traditional Coffee.
Pods are usually wrapped in foil in an air-tight nitrogen sealed pod which retains flavour and taste. Coffee Pods contain one cup, and are an exact measurement of coffee that is needed. This makes it easy to make coffee and also ensures that a perfect cup of coffee is made every time.
Coffee machines use pods because they are easy to use, some machines even use a hybrid of pods and grounding facilities. Coffee pods are specially designed capsules that are simply placed inside the top of the machine, and the coffee is filtered through. Pods come in many sizes and shapes, a traditional size being 44mm, but others are available depending on your make of coffee maker.
Some of the most popular coffee pods include:-
-Italian Espresso Coffee Pods: for Espresso, Cappuccino, Latte, etc.
An Italian classic usually comprising Arabica coffee beans making a good crema and smooth tasting drink. These are usually pre-ground beans making a traditional coffee.
-De-Caffeinated Coffee Pods:
Naturally de-caffeinated for a natural tasting coffee without the caffeine. Normally a smooth mediun blend coffee made from Colombian beans, giving a nice rich and nutty taste.
