On the pod subject: if you have a grinder and are expecting to have lots of time on your hands, I once bought the steel reusable WayCap pods that you fill yourself. Totally failed to get anything drinkable out of them, mind. At the time I was spending a lot of time at a customer site with only a pod machine. But if you’re interested, I’d be happy to pop it in the post for free. It’s gathering dust because I have a proper espresso machine at home and work, and I just accept whatever coffee I get elsewhere.
Filling my own pods is not a rabbit hole I want to go down for a 21 day stay. After the quarantine is over I’m back to the rabbit hole that is hand grinding and a manual lever espresso machine.
Haha fair enough. As I said, my experience wasn’t great, so I wouldn’t normally recommend it. But if you needed a “project” to kill the time, this could be that. Good luck with the quarantine, stay sane!
