The Coffee Pod: Key to a Great Cup of CoffeeWhat are Coffee Pods? Coffee pods consist of coffee that has been roasted and finely ground. This ground coffee is then pressurized for taste, and enclosed in paper. The standard size of a pod is about 44 millimeters, within which is placed 6.8 to 7.0 grams of coffee per coffee pod. The original coffee pod is an idea that was only conceived within the last decade. In 1996, Illy Caffe came up with the idea, which the group then decided to market to the coffee industry. As a result, many coffee machines were adapted to take coffee pods, which were a great alternative to actually measuring out the coffee. Coffee pods are especially useful for making espresso. Espresso is an especially difficult type of coffee to make, and without the proper measurements, one can easily make an awful cup of espresso. However, with a coffee pod, all one has to do is place it in an automatic espresso machine, and one can make a great cup of espresso with ease. In addition to the 44 millimeter coffee pods, there are also 55 and 62 millimeter coffee pods. The 44 and 52 millimeter pods are best for espresso machines, while the 62 millimeter pods are best for the Black and Decker Home Café coffee machine, as well as the Philips Senseo coffee machine. It is very important to note the pod size that one's home coffee machine can take, otherwise one risks breaking their machine or ending up with an awful cup of coffee. Coffee pods are not limited to the standard coffee flavor. Indeed, these pods come in a variety of different kinds, such as Amaretto, Irish Cream, Hazelnut, and Vanilla. Pods are not just restricted to coffee now, either. One can buy tea pods in such flavors as English Tea, Forest Fruits, and Lemon Tea. Coffee pods can be found in specialty coffee shops or online. Prices of the pods depend on the flavor, the amount of coffee within each pod, and where one chooses to buy the pods from, since lately it has been fashionable to buy pods from Europe. Regardless of the price of the origin, these pods are a great way to avoid measuring and focus on brewing a memorable cup of coffee. |
