The start of my coffee pod obsession

Hi! I'm in lockdown. I'm too lazy to walk to the nearest coffee hole-in-the-wall, even though it's only like two blocks over, but there you go.

I bought a shit-ton of coffee pods just then and I'm going to rate them all.

So far I'm only familiar with L'Or's Ristretto, which I drank for a few days before I had my first Nespresso pod in a long while, and right now Nespresso is the one to beat.

Here's a list of the ones I've bought from Coles:

  • Starbucks Italian Style Roast (Intensity 11)
  • Starbucks Espresso Roast (Intensity 11)
  • L'Or Ultimo (Intensity 13)
  • L'Or Onyx (Intensity 12)
  • Republica Sydney double Shot (Intensity 14)
  • Vittoria Coffee Black Valley Reserva Blend (Intensity 15 wtf)
  • Daley St Intense Roast (Intensity 12)
  • Moccona Barista Reserve Latte (Intensity 12)

Some notes:

  • I don't like Vittoria's typical house blend, but I figured maybe their coffee pods might be alright/taste different.
  • I also don't think much of Moccona coffee, just your standard kind of crappy mass market consumer coffee, cheap but meh. But I also thought I would give it a shot – after all this wouldn't be a proper review blog if I didn't sample the whole range (I am also going to try Coles' pods too eventually lol)
  • And I'm a massive sucker for packaging and Daley St looks like the kind of hipster Inner Melbourne shit I want to explore.

What else should I buy??? What do people like? WHICH PODS ACTUALLY HAVE THE MOST CAFFEINE?

(P.S. Hi Richard, my only reader)
