 Decent value January 9, 2007

I was expecting more variety in the flavor, but all the different pods tasted quite similar. My biggest complaint is that about 1 out of every 5 pods would not produce espresso. All I got was water, even after trying to run it through the espresso machine a second time. I'll be sticking with the Espressione brand for my next purchase since the flavor and result is more consistent.

I've looked all over for a decent selection of espresso pods. I was so
happy to find PodMerchant's Super Sampler. There are two each of 29
different pods so I was able to try out more different pods than I'd be
able to otherwise. This is an espresso-lover's dream! I'm also going to
try PodMerchant's Decaf Sampler.

I've been buying espresso pods for a long time through various sellers and at Starbucks (although they rarely have any in stock). It's nice to find so many different pods available from one seller, much less in one package. I'm looking forward to trying them all. Unlike another reviewer here, I consider the price to be more than fair considering what it'd cost you otherwise to try all these coffees. The shipping was very fast too.

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.

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!
