No.... no PODS for this CoffeeSnob!!! :P :P
The coffee in them just isnt that fresh - and it cant be....
They are expensive to buy, the flavour isnt as good....... and it just doesnt seem right either.......

To pod or not to pod...
Im here in Auckland on a business trip and this a.m., I tried the coffee shop on the hotel which serve Illy. Ive known the taste of Illy from my Breville days so when they served my macchiato, I tasted it and to me it was flat. Not to sour and not bitter. Just in the middle without that chocolatey taste Ive accustomed to from Alans blends. So I let it go still contemplating why it tastes somehow different.
When I arrived this afternoon at the hotel, I went to the bar and watched the barman pull the shot so I was expecting the grind/tamp/shot routine but it did not happen. Then, lo and behold, I saw PODs for the first time on a group-2 consumer machine. No more grinding, no more tamping, just pull the shot routine. I felt a bit cheated.
So that explains the taste.
Now my question: Is anybody in this forum, using PODS on their Silvia or any machine (e.g., Francis Francis). How much difference in taste do you get?
Why turn to pods if youre a coffeesnob?
