I sometimes wonder if articles like this are strictly here to push business Amazon's way and for no other reason. The article says nothing about the pods other than they're "for you", and provides a link to buy them. With all the varieties of pods and K-cups available, couldn't you spend more time reviewing them and do less shilling for Amazon or whoever? I come to this site for meaningful reviews, not merchandising. Lately, I've seen very few meaningful articles.

I have to agree with Scott's comment. The Diamond Kona coffee pod piece is a simple sales pitch with no substance. That isn't why I visit this website. Tell me why it is "for" me and what I can expect from it. I want more coffee reviews. Nor do I need pitches for coffee tables and furniture.

We've added our full links to our earlier review, and would have done it yesterday had our internet access been knocked out due to rain and a rather large limb knocking out our power for several hours as well.
We'll have lots more reviews of new coffee pods, k cups, and other single serve coffees soon.
Here's the link to our full review of the Aloha Island Coffee Pods:

However on the table front - they aren't pitches - we're pretty coffee table obsessed here at Single Serve Coffee.

Uh, folks... does anyone really expect critical reviews on an ad-sponsored site? If you know of such a site with critical, objective reviews please tell me about it. It just doesn't happen, for lots or pragmatic reasons. No offense to Jay, but if people are looking for truly balanced, critical reviews, your best bet is to find reviews by customers. Places like Epinions and Amazon are sources, likewise comments by forum members in the forum section of this site. As for posts by site owners of sites like this one and other sponsored sites--best look to that material for news and information about products.
