Yes, I think so.  Can't stand that either.  

Paraffin just doesn't have much taste at all.  I heat up a cup of EV olive oil and dissolve about a 1/4 stick (more or less) of paraffin in it.  The idea is to get a constancy of a little heavier than Vaseline when it is cool.  Rub it on the pods and buff off excess with a soft dish towel.  There is very little surface buildup at all.  I do the same with cukes and summer squash.  It works pretty good as a moisture and air barrier.

  Is that the crap they coat apples with as well?

  It's such a pain to scrape all that stuff off every night when I make my
lunch, but after doing it for so long, they almost taste bitter if I don't.
