Our Core ESE Pod Range

We focus on a tight range of proven products chosen for flavour, consistency and ease of use in compatible equipment. Our current ESE pod line-up includes a high-quality decaffeinated option designed to deliver an espresso-style cup with a satisfying crema.

• Summit Decaf ESE Double Espresso Pods (100 x 14g) – A 100% Arabica natural decaf ESE pod with beans sourced from high-grown regions of Central America, naturally decaffeinated to help retain flavour and aroma. Designed for convenience and a hassle-free brew, while still producing a luxurious crema for an authentic espresso-style experience. Quantity: 100 pods x 14g. Fits: 57mm 2-cup pod filter basket. (Multi-box options may include a free filter basket – see product page for current availability.)

This range is ideal when you need a consistent decaf espresso option without the workflow of grinding, dosing and tamping, while still keeping the experience closer to traditional espresso than many capsule systems.

ESE Pods: Compatibility & How They Work

ESE pods are paper-filter pods made for espresso-style brewing. They’re used in an ESE compatible machine or in a traditional espresso machine fitted with the correct pod filter basket/adapter (for example, a 57mm 2-cup pod basket where specified by the product).

• Simple workflow – insert pod, brew, dispose of the used pod.
• Cleaner service – less loose coffee waste and quicker turnaround.
• Consistent drinks – pre-portioned dosing helps standardise results across users and shifts.

For best results, pre-heat your machine, run a quick blank shot, then brew as you would an espresso. If you’re unsure about compatibility, check your machine specifications for ESE support or confirm the correct basket/adapter size.

FAQs About ESE Pods

What are ESE pods?

ESE pods (Easy Serving Espresso) are pre-portioned espresso-style coffee servings sealed in a paper filter pod. They’re designed to make brewing quicker and cleaner, helping produce consistent results without grinding, dosing or tamping.

Are ESE pods the same as coffee capsules?

Will ESE pods work in my espresso machine?

They may do. ESE pods work in ESE-compatible machines or espresso machines fitted with the correct ESE pod basket/adapter. Always check your machine’s specifications and the product’s stated fit (for example, some pods specify a 57mm 2-cup pod filter basket).

Are there decaf ESE pods?

Yes. This category includes a dedicated decaf ESE pod option, allowing you to offer an espresso-style drink at any time of day without caffeine.

How should I store ESE pods?

Store pods in a cool, dry place away from moisture and strong odours. For the best taste and performance, follow any storage guidance on the product packaging and use within the stated best-before date.
