ESE (Easy Serve Espresso) pods are similar to a tea bag, but are packed tightly with ground coffee and make cleaning easy. These coffee pods are single portioned and require no manual tamping. Each one will deliver the same texture, consistency and flavour.

ESE pods are typically 44mm in diameter and contain seven grams of coffee. They will have the ESE (Easy Serve Espresso) logo on the pack.

ESE pods can be purchased from larger supermarkets, specialist coffee shops, and at various online retailers. Most coffee retailers offer a huge selection of brands at very competitive prices.

Once used the pods can be composted, or added to your garden, as coffee provides good organic material for your plants.
