On day one of the New Year, I said “no” to pods. Like “Invasion of the Body Snatchers,” pods deliver  without emotion without fail and without the full taste and aroma of life as it should be. Of course, I’m talking about pod coffee. Simply insert and push a button and you get your morning coffee without spilling grounds on the floor. Well, I’m going back to drip coffee through a cone. And when inspired I will use the french press method.  Simply put, drip coffee tastes fuller than its pod counterpart and it’s much cheaper and friendlier to the environment. (Grammar muscle in the last sentence: its vs. it’s.)
