For you, for me, for many readers of this website, the handcrafted “slow food” nature of coffee is a big part of its draw. But let’s be real. Most folks aren’t about that life. They just want coffee. Fast, efficient, convenient, and if it tastes good, that’s a bonus. Thus, enter the pod and capsule machine: Nespresso, Keurig, and the like. It’s fast, it’s easy, and it’s convenient.

Ah, coffee, my coffee. That magical elixir that not only jump starts my morning, but drives my passion to produce it better and more complex, every day. To enjoy the true culinary aspects of the drink. To tinker, to toil, to experiment, to taste, and try it all over again. If you’re like me, chances are you don’t think much about anything involving coffee other than how to make it, and how to taste it. But coffee is very much more than all that.
