pod pod everywhere a pod

after the recent announcement by kraft of its new coffee pod system comes one by salton and the colombian coffee federation. apparently similar to the current melitta one-to-one brewer, these things seem to be flying onto the market.

but are they likewise flying off department store shelves? that remains to be seen. i've already inveighed against this method, so i won't bore myself or my long-time readers by repeating that rant.

however, i will pass along what looks like a great recipe for chocolate-espresso mascarpone mousse. now that's interesting!

this morning i delighted myself by making a cafetiére (a.k.a. press pot) of bccy pal suzanne's lions gate kona. maybe that was a crime, since kona really deserves to be made in a vac pot; that method seems to highlight a coffee's more subtle tones.

last year the weather wasn't so kind to kona coffee with a tough drought, resulting in smaller size beans, but suzanne's coffee still has that lovely, mild, delicate kona character you'd expect. . . .
