Abstract: A pod group module adapted for attachment to a coffee machine operable for receiving and sealably containing a prefabricated coffee pod and directing the flow of heated water therethrough. A coffee pod consists of a measure of pre-ground coffee beans contained within and enveloped by a water permeable membrane such as a filter paper. The pod group module includes attachment means adapted to mount a pod group module onto a coffee machine. The attachment means includes a flow channel having an intake port which is positioned to receive hot water from a hot water output port on the coffee machine. The pod group module includes a coffee pod receptacle adapted to receive a coffee pod. Activation of a lever-type handle on the pod group module doses and seals the pod receptacle providing a fluid-tight chamber containing the coffee pod.
