But coffee pods? I mean, I know you’re in the woods and all. But even I use a manual hand grinder on fresh beans before I’d use stale pod coffee.

Fresh roasted coffee is like fresh baked bread. And who wants their bread pre-sliced, individually wrapped, and going stale for weeks in shipping and on store shelves after it’s made?

Any coffee format that takes its lead from inkjet printers (i.e., consumers making their own “ghetto pods”) is ultimately doomed anyway.

I know what you mean about pods and getting locked into buying one specific type. I’d prefer beans or ground if I were making a coffee at home any time, but out in the field I’d have to go for the pods. They’re each vacuum sealed so they keep pretty fresh and there’s no chance of them getting wet in your pack. One word: convenience.
