Pick the Correct Pod Color for your Coffee!
I've found this RECAPS brand to be better than the My-Cap brand of foils. These seem to be stronger foil and sized better to the pods. A bit of trial and error and these work great when following the simple guidelines other have provided. Once you have technique down, you'll find the information below really helpful...Longer prewetting, slower water flow rate and higher water temperature lead to stronger coffee.
