Tea & Coffee 06/04 - Tea Tidbits (#)

  „The company, which is based in Fife, Washington, has designed a unique pyramid shaped silken mesh tea pod. The pod’s shape allows water to circulate around the leaves, in turn giving them the appearance of “dancing.” The benefit of this design is it allows the leaves to expand and move more freely than traditional flat teabags, which gives a fuller infusion of flavor and aroma for the drinker. Flat teabags are known for typically containing tea “dust,” or the remnants of the tea leaves, which makes it harder to control flavor intensity. “The larger leaves and tea pod allow drinkers to control the infusion of the tea - regulating its flavor intensity and eliminating the infusion of any chemical or paper remnants that can seep into the tea from paper dip-and-go bags,” says Amy Paulose, vice president of brand development.“

  „Pods are for restaurants that don't want to take the time to teach their employees on how to make good espresso. It is possible according to my boss to find a good pod, but I have yet to ever run across one!“

CoffeeGeek - Francis! Francis! X1 First Look

  „Inside the box, I found a very bright and "out there" alien green paintjob machine, a 57mm grounds portafilter (with a single and double basket), a pod portafilter, a can of illy pods (next time send whole bean illy instead of the pods! Boo yah!), a scoop, two manuals, and some interesting new additions to a FF!!“

Tea & Coffee 09/00 - Espresso Pods

  „The purpose is to hold the pod, which is tightly packed with coffee, in place so water goes through the pod and not around it. Some companies make a soft espresso pod developed to eliminate the need for a special adapter or portafilter, but several industry specialists do not think the extraction is as good as with a tight pod.“
