I will add the company/online store locationin the future to each review. Thanks for the feedback.

yikes, that's some pricey coffee bob..

I like reading checking out all of the coffee shops and articles here, whether I'd buy or not, so it's no biggie to me. However, not all online stores are straightforward with shipping cost and locations (especially for worldwide orders) and they often wait until the final page of your order to stab the shipping stick in your eye. Thus, I see why some people would rather simply know in the review where the company is based so that they don't have to even bother..

keep reviewing all pods etc.,please...I live in the dominican republic aqnd all my stuff comes in the mail with about a 20%vat on top of the shipping...so I could care less about the price,or where it comes from.....all my coffee cups are probably $2.00 or more,but if you like coffee,oh well...I enjoy your site and have learned a lot...

Just wanted to say - they are available to US customers, and even though they are expensive to ship to the US, you can get them and other pods from all over the place if you want to pay a little more.

I'm actually going to be reviewing Canadian based pods soon, as I have had them sent to me and think it will be interesting. Even though the site seems US centric, about 25% of the traffic is from all over the place and a great deal from the UK.

We're going to continue to review some things you can afford and some things you might not be able to afford but I think in the end it's being able to have access to the products via the site and get a full picture of the entire Single Serve Coffee landscape.

maybe reviews of products should be clearly labeled with some sort of "location" identifier.. that way if the product is only available in the US or the UK, visitors can see that immediately and choose whether they want to read it or not.

I personally don't care one way or the other, but I will admit that I have gotten all excited over products in the past to find that I'd have to ship them from outside of the US and the cost became too prohibitive..

I don't wanna get all nationalistic, but it's pretty clear that this site & the visitors are pretty US-centric. So why tease us by reviewing Dutch pods & other things (i.e., showing Euro Senseos & other machines)that you say aren't availible in the US (or stuff that's cost-prohibitive when shipping charges are figured). Sure, they GIVE you some samples to try & review, but that just frustrates us when you say it's great but the cost would end up being like $1.50 a pod!
Again, no biggie...I'm not bent outta shape or anything. But I come here to learn about product that I can buy at reasonable prices, not to see what we CAN'T get here.
