Coffee Pods are the choice of the Enlightened

As a coffee enthusiast, you already know that it’s is the best stimulant, and that moderate amounts of it can give your immunity a boost. Additionally, this delectable beverage improves your heart health and your fitness, and also helps prevent type-2 diabetes.

Ever since Espresso announced itself to the world, coffee lovers have been smitten by its impeccable blend of taste, flavour, and aroma. Subsequently, the technology associated with this enticing concoction has seen significant advancement.

The coffee pod is a result of this technological revolution; this convenient method of making coffee provides you with the ability to create a consistently good cup, every single time. All you need to do is place your pod in a compatible machine and add water; the machine takes care of the proportions and gives you just what you need—you’re steaming cup of joy.

If you choose not to pay the premium price that Nestlé-branded pods command, you have a great alternative in compatible Nespresso pods. Ever since Nestlé stopped pushing for complete monopolisation of the market, other companies have stepped up and created their own pods that fit right into your Nespresso machine.

Now that you’re aware of what these pods are, here are a few compelling arguments as to why you should be using them.

Perfect Espressos Every Single Time
 

The traditional espresso involves a rather complicated recipe that’s notoriously hard to get right, especially if one isn’t a seasoned brewer. For the perfect brew, you’d need to get elements like dosing, grinding the beans, and tamping the ground beans just right. All this before you even get the espresso machine up and running! Coffee pods, however, come already ground, measured, and tamped for ideal extraction, and make for great espressos even if you’re using them for the first time.

A Relatively Longer Shelf Life
 

Coffee pods are packed with freshly ground beans and then hermetically sealed; this is great for their durability and shelf life.

With traditional methods, unless coffee is consumed as soon as it is ground, it deteriorates. With the pod, however, the flavour and distinctive aroma of freshly ground beans remains intact right till it’s used. This means that you can buy multipacks of these without having to worry about their longevity.

No More Messy Clean-Ups
 

Right from when you buy them to when you drink your coffee, the grounds never leave the sealed pod. This means that there is absolutely no risk of spillage when dosing and tamping, which tends to happen during the traditional coffee-making process.

The coffee pod is here to stay, and you’d do well to take advantage of this convenient alternative to painstakingly-hard methods of brewing coffee. While some purists may argue that espressos can be made better through careful measurement and brewing, the pod is the pragmatic, modern answer.
