Hi Peter

I have tasted coffee from pods only in restaurants that that serve pod
espresso in quantity and it is better in my opinion than most coffee
shop products. My own roasted beans were considerably better but i dont
roast anymore. I usually go to coffee shops in the morning for social
reasons but at times long for a really good espresso and would like the
convenience of a pod. I dont want to buy coffe equipment to test am
trying to find out what others have experinced with intermittent use.

Thanks

Sandy
