Customer Reviews

Aye, Carumba! I Love Espresso!
I've been an espresso freak since I first tried one after viewing The Godfather Part II (Don Fanucci downs it in one gulp while talking to the young Vito Coreleone). I used to go to Starbucks every morning, but I eventually decided to buy my own machine (Espressione Cafe Retro)and brew my own. I gravited to pods because they were so much easier and less messy than ground coffee. I buy the Sampler Packs from Podmerchant exclusively, but not because I am attempting through scientific research to find the "best" brand. There is no BEST brand. Sometimes I want something light and tangy, so I'll reach for an Attibassi Nicaragua. Maybe a rich, heavy blast after a big meal? Gotta be a Lucaffe Mr. Exclusive. Early afternoon is the perfect time for a Cafe Mako Napoletano. I like the variety, I like the colorful packaging, I like to be surprised and not know what's coming next! Espresso is a treat, a pure delight, something to be savored. Who wants to savor the same thing over and over? Give me variety, or give me death!

This is one great deal.
If you are new to ESE Pods, this is a great way to find the brands of pods you like best. Get this package and keep careful tasting notes - and remember, your machine will also work better with some pods than others. The idea is to experiment as much as you can for as little cost as possble and this sampler makes it easy.

On my Francis! Francis! X3, the Espressione, Lavazza, and Caffe Mako seem to be the better of the bunch so far. But I'll probably be able reach a final consensus after my next sampler.

Sampler price.
At first glance, it seems like 60 cents per pod is really rather expensive. Starbucks charges $0.42/pod in boxes of 12. Other merchants like Podhead charge anywhere from $0.42 and up plus shipping. This sampler contains some exclusive pods that retail for much more making this a decent deal afterall. However, don't be fooled into thinking you'll really want to drink $2.00 pods on a daily basis. [...] and they have free shipping on $75 or more orders. Most are less than $0.50/pod if you buy a quantity worthy of a casual espresso drinker.
