Peter J. Guildner of Cool Beans Pods asked us to visit to see how coffee pods were made at Cool Beans Pods. We were very excited to visit Peter, as Cool Beans Pods has been in the coffee pod market just about the same time the single serve coffee market exploded last year and we've really enjoyed all the coffee pods from Cool Beans.
We arrived in Rocky Hill, CT early afternoon just as the heat was in full force and drinking coffee seemed like a rather hot thing to do. Cool Beans is located in a large office park with facilities in a rather large and very cool beans warehouse. Peter greeted us and gave us a little tour around the Cool Beans coffee pod making area.

Wendy from Typical Dutch Stuff has sent us in a set of the Dutch AH pods to review. We've brought these pods with us on our trip along with the Community Coffee Pods to review on our mother in-laws Senseo, while traveling to Northern California. Wow - was that a mouthful.
Expect a full review over the next week as we taste the coffee from Hyampom - deep in the Northern California mountains. We've got Dutch Roast, French Roast, Italian Roast, Java Blend, Ethiopia Blend, and Brazil Blend to sample. So - stay tuned!

We've been trying to find something different for Single Serve Coffee.com as we are visiting the great city of San Francisco today (okay - I'm traveling and there's free wi-fi) and to my surprise I saw a mention for this cool blog in a coffee shop here near the park - The Year of Coffee Blog. It appears to be a documented photo of every cup of coffee this person has had this year in 2005. Amazing!
Expect reviews on Thursday of new coffee pods and more updates over the next two weeks as we travel to Northen California to have some Single Serve Coffee in the mountains!

We just reviewed the new Wolfgang Puck Instant Hot Latte and had some outstanding questions about recycling the can and also how safe the cans were after using given the quicklime mixture used to heat the cans. We just got word that the cans are recyclable and the mixture is non hazardous and will not cause any concerns in landfills.
From David Cooper:
"We have just heard that our Self Heating container has received a recycling classification from the Department Of Conservation and the #7 and recycle logo will appear on all new labels. Until then the container is perfectly acceptable for disposal through normal channels.
As you know the container uses a mixture of quicklime and water. Quicklime is created by cooking limestone rocks. Limestone & quicklime are non toxic and non hazardous materials that occur naturally and will not cause any concerns in landfills."

We've been reading this blog from Heather at CoffeeGIANT since February. It has some great run downs of the industry and we recommend it for some coffee reading. Right now they've got a great article on the state of coffee pods and who's trying to win.
"If you haven’t heard the buzz, you soon will. The newest adventure in single cup coffee is the “coffee pod” and pod machine. The concept is great, a universal one-cup coffee maker that has refills readily available for it. The pod it’s self is a relatively simple concept, a single serving of coffee in a filter packet. By using a small filter pack you can make a single cup of freshly brewed coffee or tea quickly and conveniently."
Do you know of other cool coffee blogs? Sound off and let us know. We love a good single serve coffee read.
