Across the trade, pod capacity and refilling is the point where good intentions meet operational reality on the Zen 5.
Retail staff rarely ask about pod capacity and refilling directly, but their questions almost always lead back to it.
Why pod capacity and refilling matters on the Zen 5
Larger reservoirs reduce refill frequency but can change flavour consistency near the end of a fill.
Documentation is not paperwork for its own sake; on pod capacity and refilling it is the difference between a clean clearance and a delayed one.
Clear visibility windows help users judge remaining liquid without opening the pod.

Commercial terms
Currency movement over a ninety day cycle can outweigh the difference between two competing quotations.
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.

| Pallet (1743 units) | Tier 2 | 30-45 days |
