This is quite exciting in that it removes plastic waste. I see no reason why different companies can't make different shape ones to maintain their lock-in. I expect a knock-off market to pop-up, but that exists with plastic pods too. It's a step in the right direction at least.

Is it actually a cafe or just part of another establishment? What kind of cafe has a pod espresso machine? I would never go there.

It's a restaurant run by an Italian. Not even Italian American, but a first generation immigrant.

It's not a pod espresso machine, perfectly capable of making great espresso if he had a grinder. But instead they use pods of pre-ground coffee that just lets the water shoot through, giving like 4:1 brew ratio.

That's such a travesty and a waste of a good machine... Wow.
