I ordered the big podmerchant sampler. I kept notes on every pod. This was the winner. For my cheap little machine, it scored a 5/5, worked very well. For taste a 4/5. So now I am ordering a case. What do you think about that?

We've tried a lot of ways to merge our coffee passion with our average income, and Miscela d'Oro has answered the quest. Full disclosure -- my best friend, an Italian who has traveled "home" and sampled espessos extensively, did much of the due diligence that led to this find. We'd owned a $4,000 brass-eagled commercial espresso maker (fine-tuned after the auction purchase from a hotel bankruptcy), to stovetop espresso makers--the whole nine meters. I grind coffee daily and run it through a French press for excellent daily drinking. But for espresso, I "cheat" with these pods run through our pump-based, relatively inexpensive Capresso EspressoClassic Model #114 and get amazing results. Friends are amazed at the coffee drinks we make. But significantly, routinely, we are too. We've tried many pods -- illy, you name it. We pull the Miscela d'Oro pods for about 18 seconds into a pre-heated cup and get a lovely crema on a deep and rich, multi-layered espresso that so far hasn't been matched by anything we've found anywhere. |

Wonderful espresso. Stands up to any milk. Deep. Earthy. Sicilian. |
