What are the drawbacks of Espresso Pods?
The drawback of the espresso pod is simply that the very, very best espresso can only be made by the skilled hands of a trained and experienced barista. Fresh beans, a clean, well maintained grinder set to grind just for the espresso machine being used, the proper tamping pressure and technique, a high quality espresso machine, and the skill and experience with the coffee/grinder/machine combination will result in the best espresso possible — a rare luxury. Pods offer what might be considered a B+ cup of espresso at a fraction of the effort. Note: Most people have never had anything over a C+ cup of espresso.
