I've been considering moving from coffee beans to pre-prepared coffee bags (or ESE pods) for some time but was a bit unsure about cost and flavour. I believe nothing can beat the taste of freshly ground coffee and cup for cup ESE pods are inevitably more expensive. However. I have been pleasantly surprised at the taste and value for money of these Intensico Aribaca pods. As they are packed in10s the amount of flavour deterioration is minimal and brewing my morning coffee has never been as easy.
