The reason why we package the whole beans into the pod is that each xPod is much more than a capsule that contains the coffee you are about to drink. We believe a great cup of coffee = great beans + curated bean-specific recipe + the consistent and precise methods to deliver it. Each bag of xPods comes with a unique recipe card that stores all the information related to the cup of joe. For example, a recommended brewing recipe that the roasters and baristas curate to decipher the taste potential of every bean brought to you. So you don’t have to be heavily engaged or spend a lot of time trying to figure it out or have a wealth of experience in pouring technique to create a tasty cup. With xBloom and xPods, you achieve the same consistency every time.
