Mr. Davids had this to stay about Island Joe’s ESE Espresso Pods.
Blind Assessment: Produced from an ESE pod on a FrancisFrancis! pod brewer. Sweet, juicy-impressioned fruit dominates in the aroma (papaya? cherry?) with a hints of fir and leather. Syrupy mouthfeel and great richness and depth of sensation in the small cup, with continued low-acid fruit and fresh-cut fir notes. Superb finish: long, deep. In two parts milk good presence and chocolate-toned fruit, though just a touch flat and woody.

Who should drink it: An outstanding pod espresso, particularly for straight shots. Excellent value, emphasis on freshness.
