I was given 1000 espresso pods.?
I do not have an espresso machine. Any ideas what I can use these for? I was thinking maybe cut open the pod and sprinkle the coffee over regular coffee in a drip maker to add a punch to regular coffee. Don't really want to spend $200 plus for a special machine made for these, but don't want to waste these. All ideas welcome! Thanks in advance!
Answers:
you can buy an expresso maker at bed bath and beyond for $40. it looks like a tea pot. My friend has one and it is awesome, better than his $1000 that sits on his counter.
WOW! Enough said,hello......
sell 'em on ebay
You can certainly do what you described--add a bit of the espresso to regular coffee. You could also use it as a topping for desserts (cakes, ice cream). Espresso is so finely-ground, it can be used that way.
But heck, 1000 of them is quite a bit!! If they're in an unopened package, you could try selling the whole lot of them. Or, you might ask around at local coffee shops...they might be willing to buy them off you.
Another suggestion (it's worth a try): you could send them to me. I promise to use them!
Most espresso pods are made from Italian espresso roast coffee -- Arabica and Robusta blend. JUST COFFEE!
Have you ever been to a hotel where the coffee in the room is in a bag? Is similar. You can open and mix with your coffee. Or even use is by itself without a filter in the coffee maker.
