Other than the great taste of coffee, people often drink it to keep themselves awake and achieve more tasks in their hectic 21st century lives. But making espresso the traditional way is not something to be rushed so the coffee industry came up with a compromise – the coffee pod. You just pop one of these little babies into a pod coffee maker and you are only half a minute away from your quality cup of coffee.
Senseo was one of the first companies to catch onto the idea of a quick and convenient coffee maker. They have now sold millions of these appliances proving the idea to be a great success. A coffee pod is a bit like a tea bag – it is just a paper parcel filled with ground coffee. You fill your coffee machine with the required amount of water, put your coffee pod in the brewing chamber, press the go button, count to thirty and your great tasting coffee will be ready. You can also enjoy the rich crema you are used to receiving in espresso bars as the coffee pod technology ensures it is delivered time after time.
Coffee pods offer convenience and speed for today’s coffee drinkers. There is a wide range of pods in different strengths to choose from as well as different blends and flavours. If you buy them in bulk packs, they range from $0.20 upwards depending on brand and blend. This is a good deal more expensive than your cans of coffee grinds but you are paying for convenience. There is no mess with a coffee pod as you just throw the used pod in the bin. There is no measuring out of grinds or tamping them into a filter or sweeping them up after you have spilt some on the work surface or floor. The cleaning up afterwards is also easy as there is no messy portafilter to bang clean and the pod holder can be put in the dishwasher.
Coffee pods make home brewed coffee a pleasure. The machines also look good on your worktop with their sleek and stylish designs.
