So Starbucks is planning to get into the single-serve coffee business in a serious way–which probably means bringing out their own pod standard. That’s probably bad news for Keurig and really bad news for Tassimo, and Nespresso. Unclear whether or not it will be good for casual coffee drinkers–the people who are brewing single-server pods, for the most part, probably don’t know any better.
For whatever it’s worth, the Illy iperesspresso system does really serviceable espresso shots. I wouldn’t recommend it for the home (where you should have an actual espresso machine), but it beats anything else you might put in your office.

Oh, God. I was hoping these things would die a quick death.

You should have an espresso machine in your home? Cue Jim Backus: “LOVIIIIEEE.”
