Cash flow is the quiet constraint behind pod capacity and refilling: the cheapest option is rarely the one that frees the most working capital.
Why pod capacity and refilling matters on the Stark 3
Larger reservoirs reduce refill frequency but can change flavour consistency near the end of a fill.
Where two suppliers look identical on price, pod capacity and refilling is usually the variable that separates them over a full year.
