Looking at Ed's question about bean to cup machines, I also have a problem with pod machines. My son had already gone through three of them but still likes the brew they produce, my request for a pod that makes coffee does not go down well. I spent the holiday period at his place drinking tea, he puts it down to coffee snobbery, I consider pods as a blight on humanity. I have yet to taste a cup of the stuff that does not leave a nasty after taste, not that I think the first taste is fit to drink. Friends who know my taste in coffee, have asked my opinion of their new pod machine. I have learned to say "I'm sorry, I cannot sleep after drinking coffee after 4pm.
I am at a loss to understand how such machines exist, George Clooney is in my opinion mainly to blame, his acting ability allows him to swallow the stuff and keep a smile on his face. Am I alone in this? Do others quail at the prospect of a cup of this stuff being thrust on them? I know how real coffee can be ruined, just remember (if you are old enough) the UK coffee shops of the 1960/70/80 era. Would I be drinking the muck if Steve and you orroble lot on the site had not opened my eyes? Horlicks anyone?
