What is inside a coffee pod.
Once inserted into a machine the capsules are pierced.
Greatly simplified this is what happens inside a typical pod machine.
A standardized 7 grams of ground espresso is compressed inside a two sided disk shaped paper pod.
Nespresso machines brew espresso and coffee from coffee capsules or pods in machines for home or professional use a type of pre apportioned single use container of ground coffee beans sometimes with added flavorings.
Coffee pods are pre packaged ground coffee beans in their own filter.
To use these pods you will need a machine that is either specifically designed for ese pods or a conventional machine that is versatile meaning it can use both grinds or ese pods.
How coffee pod machines work.
A pump at the bottom sucks the water in and pumps it through the machine.
There are a minimal few brands who make use of instant coffee in their pods as this can and will result in bad tasting coffee.
That s why you should drop those pods before they leave you with a bad taste in.
Several different systems exist.
From the coffee itself to the packaging process we learned about the nuances of single serve pod production and what factors influence how your coffee tastes.
Think of a puffy teabag on steroids.

The water is pumped through a narrow needle to increase its pressure.
Short of physically opening your coffee pod or capsule it is quite hard to determine the type of coffee used inside.
The ese pod is placed in a special pod holder that fits inside the portafilter on some machines this is the same one that is used for ground coffee but with other manufactures the filter basket needs to be changed this is to ensure that the ese pod fits correctly and that the water runs through the pod and not around it.
A coffee capsule differs from a coffee pod in that the coffee is packed in a plastic or aluminum package instead of a paper filter and it is usually designed for use with a single brand or system and is therefore not interchangeable with other systems.
The water heats up to the perfect temperature as it flows up past the heating element.
The flavor of freshly roasted ground and brewed coffee exceeds anything that could ever come from inside a pod too.
