I roast my own beans as well and while I violate every rule of coffee roasting by putting the beans into a plastic container, I still do it.  It's must fresher than anything that I can buy in the store and so much cheaper.

I prefer my french press coffee.  First trip used the burr grinder at home and took extra ground coffee with us.  Not good.  Went to Costco and found a burr grinder for $26.  Gonna use it on our next trip.  Fresh ground each morning.  Yumm.  Safe Travels.

I like my latte so well that I roast my own beans.  I thus worried r-podding might involve a compromise, but fortunately it is not required. 

This gadget (http://mypressi.com/) allows me to brew espresso with air pressure, rather than steam, which makes a flavorful, but not bitter, brew.  It comes with a hand grinder.  Thus I can take a bag of my fresh roasted beans on a camping trip with which to pull a quality shot.

I picked up a microwavable pitcher and use that to heat the milk.  Frothing is easy with an aerolatte battery operated frother (http://www.aerolatte.com/). 

For those espresso addicts who like podding, there needn't be a compromise.
