The Strong Cup — Robust and Intense Espresso Pods

The Strong Cup — Robust and Intense Espresso Pods

The "Strong Cup" is the real-deal, the manly drink that will put hair on your chest. Kidding aside, these pods are all about full coffee flavor, full body, full crema, and full caffeine. They have complex, rich favors and hold up well under milk, so they are excellent for cappuccinos and lattes.

These are pods that have a high percentage of Robusta beans in the mix. And as Robusta is generally far less expensive than Arabica beans, these are also our least expensive pods. Don't let that put you off — they are also our favorites and some of our best sellers.

See the article in our PODcast Issue #41: "The Strong Cup", for more information.
