Inside Dolce Gusto drink pods

A look inside some of the drink pods of the Dolce Gusto drink making system.

The reason the Gusto system has such a big pod is to accommodate the more complex drinks like white coffee or drinking chocolate. For a plain coffee pod the contents are approximately 5g of ground coffee and lots of empty space. The creamer based drinks have about 20g of powder in them, and the hot chocolate version uses two pods with drinking chocolate in one and creamer in the other to fit all the sugar and creaminess in.

While this pod system may seem wasteful, I can understand why people use them. It's an affordable home version of the coffee shop barista experience.

My preference is for the Nespresso system, since it is just for simple ground coffee pods, and as such they are much smaller and more affordable. Plus there's a wide range of refillable pod options for custom coffee choices. (A 250g pack of ground coffee will refill 50 pods.)

If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee (pods), cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:- http://www.bigclive.com/coffee.htm
This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's algorithm quirks, allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.
