About Coffee Pods
What is a coffee pod ?
Coffee pods are freshly roasted coffee, ground perfect, tampered to the correct pressure and then encapsulated in a paper.
Pods now come in many shapes and size, the most popular are 44mm, 55mm and 62mm. The original pod was designed by Illy caffe
over 10 years ago, in 1996 Illy opened its idea to the coffee industry to bring a standard pod size to the market. Many
machine companies now offer adaptors with their machines to accept pods. By using pods in your machine not only can
you guarantee perfect results, there is no mess and pods help to look after your machine. In fact used pods can
even be used as fertiliser for your garden !
Also know as coffee pad, coffee pod, single serve pod or espresso pod, pods are a simple way to make perfect espresso and with excellent results.
Even your existing espresso machine can use pods, but simply replacing the filter plate in the portafilter/group handle. We offer a
range of pod adaptors for most make and models. So no need to tamper, no stale packets left open and no need for a separate grinder.
Our pods are individually packed in laminated bags to preserve the fresh flavour and aroma.
There are many sizes of coffee pods now available, but mainly the two sizes are now used by most coffee machines.
The 44mm and 55mm pods are mainly for espresso pump machines and the 62mm pod used in philips senseo and black & decker home cafe.
We also produce a 55mm pod which contains double the amount of coffee to make 2 shot of espresso in one brew.
Pod Adaptors
Many new espresso machines can now accept the 44mm pods, a consortium of the leading manufactures have come together known as the ESE
format. By chosing a machine with this logo you are assured that any ESE or 44mm pod will work perfectly in your machine. For older machines
we have exclusively designed pod adaptor filter that easily convert your machine to use 44mm pods.
Please view our guide to pod adaptors for more information.
Making great coffee
Coffee is an art, there are many ways of getting it wrong ! The grind, the measurement, freshness, the roast, tampering,
temperature, water pressure.... the list goes on. Some people judge an espresso by the crema, some by the flavour, acidity
and liqueur. By using coffee pods you get it right first time every time.
Single Serve Coffee
The pod market has expanded rapidly of the past years, with low pressure single serve coffee machines. Philips senseo,
