5 Ways to enjoy ESE pods from KoffiePiraat

The Easy Serving Espresso pod, or ESE for short, is a small amount of ground coffee encased in a paper filter covering for use in a non-grinding espresso machine. The ESE standard was created by the Italian coffee company Illy back in the 1970s and is maintained as an open standard by an industry consortium so all coffee roasters and machine manufacturers can now use the ESE standard. If you have an espresso machine that allows for ESE pods, here are five ways to enjoy your easy serving espresso.

 

Caffe Mauro De Luxe ESE pods

This is a very flavorful espresso that’s not too bold. Caffe Mauro De Luxe is a blend of 70% Arabica and 30% Robusta coffee beans that give it a pleasant, spicy character. This blend makes a wonderful cappuccino, latté or strong espresso.

 

Lavazza Crema e Gusto Espresso ESE pods

The classical Italian Espresso from Lavazza as an ESE-pod: the Lavazza Crema e Gusto Espresso. This Crema e Gusto Espresso is a true Italian espresso. Dark roasted and an intense and balanced aroma, fragrant flavor and long finish with recognizable chocolate tones. An ideal coffee for those who like a strong cup of Italian espresso coffee.

 

Mr. Lucaffé Exclusive ESE pods

This coffee is made from 100% Arabica beans. They take the best beans from Asia, South America and a small portion from Central America and roast them for a perfectly balanced coffee. This medium-bodied roast has chocolate-like hues with a sweet, fresh taste and beautiful aroma.

 

Mami’s Caffé Gran Crema ESE pods
