Espresso Pods

“Espresso” – the name symbolizes a brand, basically coffee that has been brewed using a special technique of passing steam at the right temperature and pressure through coffee. The only way to relish the original espresso coffee is to be at a place where you can have fresh roasted coffee pods. Milan, Italy is the place where espresso is believed to be originated. However, with the advent of espresso makers, one can still enjoy the luxury of sipping espresso sitting in the comfortable couch of your home.

A shot of espresso essentially has around 6.5-7.5 grams of coffee. An ESE espresso pod is a convenient way of making espresso. ESE is the acronym for “Easy Serving Espresso”. An ESE espresso pod contains the exact amount of roasted coffee for a single shot of espresso drink. The coffee is sealed in filer paper and comes in form of small pouches. These ESE espresso pods can also be used in some coffee makers. The packaging is done such that the aroma of the roasted coffee remains intact till the seal is opened. However with the convenience and comfort of the ESE espresso pods, the true espresso taste is a miss.

The quality of the espresso largely depends upon the quality of the coffee beans. Normally the fresh coffee beans, that are green in color, can be preserved for as long as two years but it has to be roasted before being used. The roasted coffee beans have an average shelf life of two weeks. These are grounded and then brewed to get the coffee drink. The espresso pods are exactly that.
