Welcome to The PODcast, PodMerchant's newsletter of espresso pod news, education, tips and deals. Back issues of The PODcast are available online.

Happy 2011!

Welcome back from the Holidays. I hope Santa brought you everything you asked for. There's been no time to write an Espresso Elucidations for this issue, but we've got some great product news for you.

PodMerchant News

Whole Bean Coffee

In response to customer requests, PodMerchant will be stocking select whole bean coffees from some of our roasters. Of course, pods are great — easy to use, no cleanup, a great cup of espresso — but whole bean coffee has its rightful place for true "espressionados."

We're going to get the ball (bean?) rolling with whole bean coffee from Borbone, offering 1000 gm (2.2 lb) bags of their Gold and Blu blends. In stock now.

The return of Covim Caffe'

We are really pleased to be offering Covim Caffe' pods again. Covim is a truly gourmet coffee, and their pods — even the 100% Arabica — make fabulous crema. On our next shipment, we'll be ordering some whole bean coffee as well as pods.

Inventories — Full Shelves Again!

With the Christmas sales rush it was a bad time to run out of several brands. But they're all back in stock now. Lucaffe', Amigos Caffe', Caffe' del Doge, Izzo Caffe', Compagnia dell'Arabica, and as mentioned above, Covim Caffe'.
