The best coffee is made with freshly ground beans. There is no getting
away from that. Pod coffee is a gimmick really, although undoubtedly
better than a cup of instant and better than stale, long opened ready
ground coffee.

I make my first morning coffee from freshly ground beans in a Cafetiere
and rest of the day use coffee bags.

I make a full jug from a filter machine. When it is all filtered I turn
off the heater. If the coffee in the jug has gone cold, I pour out a cup
and microwave it. It often lasts a couple of days. It tastes better
than nespresso or instant.

I use ground coffee packets, but a packet only lasts a week. It doesn't
seem to go stale in that time.
