Very quick and neat way to get a good espresso shot.

But what is it exactly?

Espresso Pod: New Trend

Espresso pod is a tea-bag-like disc of ground coffee. It is packed between two layers of filter paper and ready to be infused with water.

It is intended to fit into special filters provided with many pump espresso machines. Espresso pod is nested in the espresso machine portafilter. You pop the pod into the filter, and brew. The pod comes out as it went in: clean and easy.

Single serving sized pods are usually packaged in foil envelopes. Each pod contains 7 grams of finely ground coffee, with a 44mm diameter.

Although some pods are designed to work with only one brand of machine, production of home pump machines which are designed to give more option to consumer is increasing.

These pods come in two types: soft and hard. The soft one is used to make drip coffee in a range of non-pressurized machines. Latter is used to make espresso in pump machines.
