200 ESPRESSO ITALIA Expresso Capsules - Value Variety Pack - Espresso Coffee Capsules compatible with Nespresso Original Line Machines. Italian Coffee. Assorted Expresso Coffee Pods

Saving good money with theseYes they are not “originals”, but the “originals” have to learn how to lower the prices.I’m happy with themIf I give an espresso to someone they love it, but after I show they are not “originals” they don’t :)

LOW quality and NOT a standard size capsule - doesn't work well with Nespresso machine.I have tried half of the box of these capsules until I realized the hot water in the Nespresso machine goes around the capsules and fills up the bottom tray of the machine (See picture). I thought my machine was broken but then I tried the original Nespresso capsules and it works fine. I also tried other off-brand capsules that had the appropriate standards and it worked fine as well.Also, these capsules are low quality as the edges tear up and are undone. (See picture)Maybe this company will consider upgrading their quality! Until then I will not buy anymore of these capsules from "Espresso Italia Aluminum Coffee Pods".

For those who were wonder, just like me, if these pods work with Nespresso Breville Creatista Plus machine, I can attest that THEY WORK, THEY ARE COMPATIBLE. That means they should work with other models like Creatista and Creatista Uno ..... possibly even with Creatista Pro. Quality of the coffee is not as good as the original nespresso brand but not far from it. In my opinion is worth buying. I attached, for reference, photos of an original Nespresso brand pod VS this Espresso Italia brand pod.

Fit into my original Nespresso machine perfectly, don’t get stuck. Love the variety pack. And each 10 pods come in separate stackable packets that can be opened and reopened. Mix of 6 flavors to try, lots of foam, rich taste. Very satisfied

Coffee is great. Well priced. Big complaint is like so many others that water will not flow through the pods and comes out dripping instead of a steady stream for 8/10 pods.Coffee is great and it’s a shame, but I’m not going to damage my Nespresso machine.

Less than half of these pods actually work in my nespresso maker. I’ve wasted a bunch of these pods just attempting to make 2oz of espresso. You can’t even tell which of these pods will work in your nespresso machine based on “flavor.” The first orange colored pod I used worked fine, but the dark roast/brown pod I used wouldn’t even allow me to close my pod latch on my espresso machine. However, the second orange colored pod I used fit in my nespresso machine, but my machine registered and error when I tried to make a cup with the pod. Ie, my machine punctured the pod of espresso (wasting it). If you like playing Russian roulette with your espresso in the morning and wasting just over $23 on this variety “nespresso” “capable” pod pack, then this is great for you. Otherwise, you might just be better off paying a bit more for nespresso pods that ACTUALLY work and fit in your machine.

The second pod I used fell apart inside my Nespresso. Took me an hour to get the cap removed from the pod placement area and cleanup the coffee grounds inside, flush and restart. The pod cap separated from pod and lodged inside. Good tasting coffee,but pods aren't constructed,at least for my Nespresso. If they could retro engineer a stronger pod cap this would really be a great but. Now I'm stuck with 197 pods I can't use. You live and earn(big sigh)

I am not a coffee aficionado and therefore don't have the palate for subtle flavors and nuances. For me, this tasted just fine compared to the Nespresso brand pods and is a suitable, cheaper alternative to save a little money. Only issue I had - sometimes our Nespresso machine had a little trouble puncturing the pods. I could tell the coffee was not able to flow freely out of the pods when that happened. Happened to maybe three pods out of the entire order. We will likely order this brand again in the future.

Unfortunately these pods do not work in my machine, a fact which has been also noted by a few other reviewers. I'm not sure whether it is the shape or material the pods are made from, but the water just runs through into the overflow container and no coffee is dispensed. I've tried pods from a few of the different varieties but all with the same result. I should say that I've used several other types of Nespresso compatible pods from supermarkets and they have all worked fine, so the fault doesn't lie solely with my machine. There's no point in returning them as I've used a few pods to test them out. I thought the cost of these seemed too good to be true, and as they are useless to me, I guess you get what you pay for.

I would have left a great review based on flavour alone after a few days but decided to wait and see. Unfortunately, as I made my way through this box, I found that quite a lot of the capsules were already perforated, which means they would have gone off, so I threw those away. Furthermore, in some instances it seemed as if my machine couldn't perforate these capsules and so the coffee that came out was actually just hot water. Not sure why this happened - not every time, but combined with the issue of some capsules being already perforated, I threw out so many of these that it honestly wasn't a very good buy after all. I ended up discarding maybe one in every 5-6 capsules. There's now a handful left but despite the lovely flavour of those that did work, I am not going to reorder this type.

I posted a good product review on these initially but having uses them for a while now I find the quality and strength of capsules to be variable. I've tested each variety a few times and some are fine whilst others taste and look weaker and different. I don't know why but I cant say I recommend them as i did in my first review; I'll be checking out other Nespresso compatible pods first!

As value for money goes, these are probably the winners when it comes to Nespresso capsules.I’m not a coffee taste expert, but these taste good IMHO. They also work in the machine fine every time.I’m sure coffee experts will be able to distinguish the difference in taste between these and the more expensive brands, but I can’t, so it’s a 5 stars from me.

The pods are not quite nespresso compatible... Russian roulette if you can actually get a coffee from these pods using a nespresso machine.Disappointing as you end up using multiple pods to result in a coffee which defeats the object of a more reasonably priced coffee...Have used other non branded nespresso pods which work perfectly so believe the fault is with these pods.
