Problem with the pods are you need two for every cup of coffee, so only 8 cups worth in each box. We use about 3-4 boxes per week, so it would take an awful lot of boxes to last even for a couple of months.
We looked for an alternative a couple of weeks ago around the shops in Fethiye, but saw nothing. I would really like to have a coffee machine in our place in Calis, as i miss my coffee fix when on holiday, but can manage without it, however, if I was staying longer in Calis i would really like to have a machne.
