The Pods system consists of a specially modified espresso machine and pre-packaged single servings of coffee, known as pods.
The Pod. espresso machine has a specially shaped extraction chamber, into which
the Pod fits perfectly. Together, they produce a superior cup of espresso. In order to guarantee a consistent level
of quality, specific technical parameters for such fundamental characteristics as water temperature and pressure have been
developed. The pod is a pre-packaged individual portion of roasted, ground, and pressed coffee, sealed between two layers
of filter paper. It is specially shaped to fit perfectly inside the extraction chamber of the Pod espresso machine.
The amount of coffee, its grind, and the degree to which it is pressed have
all been specifically pre-defined to ensure a perfect cup of espresso. Besides guaranteeing a consistent level of quality,
the system is considerably cleaner than traditional methods of preparing espresso because there is no need to handle
the coffee grounds—it is perfect portion control with no muss, no fuss.
With the Pod system, no special skills or experience are required to prepare
a cup of espresso. The user must follow four simple steps:
- Take the serving (pod) out of its package
- Place it in the espresso machine filter
- Insert and lock the filter holder
- Push the button and let water run through the pod for the necessary amount of time (25-30 seconds
maximum).
The result is always a perfect cup of espresso.
