Coffee

Coffee capsules are generally weaker in flavour than an espresso from your local coffee shop - this is simply due to the smaller capacity, literally resulting in less coffee. A cafe espresso is brewed using around 11 grams, whilst capsules can range from 5 to 5.8 grams.

And although refillable capsules are one of the most environmentally sustainable and affordable coffee pod options on the market, whilst you're transitioning to using pure, ground coffee in your own pods, you may find you have to experiment a little more to get your extraction down pat.
