Thanks to everyone who chimed in Facebook recommending Illy. It’s hard to find coffee pods off the shelf in your friendly neighborhood grocery so I was pleasantly surprised to see the boxes of Illy stacked. I probably have seen these before thinking they were regular coffee grind, in which case I prefer beans. So yay, new pods for the handpresso. A box sets you back PHP 600.00 for 18 coffee pods. That’s about PHP 33.00 for a shot of espresso. Not bad. The cheapest I’ve seen was PHP 25.00 per shot at the department store of Rustan’s.
