or, not

The whole concept of the espresso pod has sounded like an overpackaged pile of faffbollocks for lazy people ever since I first heard of it but I hadn't realised that their increasing prevalence would not mean that most non-commercial (this relatively affordable) espresso machines would now all have stupid teeny filters designed to hold only either an ESE pod or a teensy amount of grounds, barely sufficient for a single mug-serving of hot-water-diluted espresso and certainly nowhere near enough for a flaskful to take to work. Making three cyclesworth is not tenable (and certainly will not be post-October) so this will be cleaned and dried and returned to the shop.
