The Perfect Cup of Coffee

Do you love a cup of freshly brewed coffee? Me too. But making it is such a faff - coffee grinder, beans, filter, etc. It can get very tedious, especially if you just want a quick shot. So, what about getting rid of all of that hassle with a coffee pod machine? Coffee pod machines are a great shortcut to great tasting drinks. Simply load a pre packaged pod into the holder, press brew, and let the machine do all the work for you. Recycle the empty pod and sit back to enjoy your drink. No mess, no fuss. The machine works by having a precisely measured amount of coffee (along with any other flavourings) in a special pod. When you press the brew button the device draws water from its reservoir, heats it, and then pumps it through the pod to brew the drink. Your coffee is then poured into your cup and frothed on the way. The contents of the pod dictate what drink you’ll get. There are endless options from expresso to latte to hot chocolates and other drinks. Some machines allow you to manually vary how the drink is made, others identify each pod and will run the best program for that particular drink. Prices vary from around £40 to a couple of hundred depending on what features you want. There are a few different types of pods, and each machine is usually tied to a particular brand, so make sure you check out what’s available before you buy. Recycling pods has become a lot easier with initiatives like https:// podback.org/ So put your feet up and let technology take the strain.
