What is a Coffee Pod…  A coffee pod consists of freshly roasted coffee, perfectly ground, tamped to the correct pressure and then encapsulated in a paper.  E.S.E. or Easy Serving Espresso pods were introduced by Illycaffe more than 25 years ago, with the intention to ‘simplify espresso preparation, and guarantee a consistent level of quality’. The standard size of a coffee pod is about 44mm, with 6.8 to 7.0 grams of coffee per pod. The pods are individually sealed in an oxygen free laminated pouch to preserve the fresh flavor and aroma, so that they can produce rich and creamy espresso consistently and conveniently. The pods can be used in any espresso machine designed to accept E.S.E. espresso pods. Each pod fits directly into your espresso machine, providing you with the perfect espresso every time.

Roasting Process…  The system is ecological and uses hot air pre-heated to roast instead of having a heating source directly into the roasting machine. The green beans are also pre-heated before entering into the roasting unit which avoids thermal shock. With this system there is no smoke and the roasting temperature is never higher then 210/220ºC instead of more then 300ºc in the conventional units. Of course, the roasting time is longer, but the result is much better, and ensures even roasting thoughout the body of the bean.
