I have a Francis Francis! X3 espresso machine that I got a great deal on, but it only used the E.S.E. pods. The pods are great in that I can be completely asleep and still make a perfect espresso, however, the only place to buy them is Starbucks. This is also not so bad because there is always a pretty girl or two behind the counter, but they only intermittently stock the pods. I can order them starbucks.com but the shipping is obscene. Any suggestions on where I can these pods at a reasonable price?

Do a google search for E.S.E. Pods. Amazon has them and so does many reputable coffee sites.

I am looking into filling them myself with my home roast so my sister in law can fresh roast (sort of).
