Last night I tried the pods, and they were the best I’ve ever had.<\/p>\n

This morning, the real thing fresh-ground and french-pressed, and while I can’t issue the same universal accolade (having had many fine coffees in my time), it’s top-shelf all the same. I’m enjoying it very much today, and will be for foreseeable future too.<\/p>\n
