Caffè Borbone Blue Respresso Capsules – 100 Nespresso* Compatible Borbone Coffee Pods – Intensity 8 Espresso Pods – Compatible With Nespresso* Machines for Domestic Use

I have tried many pods over the years ranging from plain awful to very good. Caffe Borbone coffee is a level way above very good. It is truly excellent. I have only tried the Blue and Black blends, both are great. The flavour is the best I've had. Is there a downside? Yes...For some reason the flow from the Nespresso compatible pods isn't great. Very often the coffee splatters and comes out very slowly. Sometimes the coffee hardly comes out at all. When it works it's great but it amazes me how a company can shoot themselves in the foot by going to all the hard work of producing great coffee only to get the easy part so wrong. Come on, please improve the quality of the pods. I've seen other reviewers mention this so it's nothing new but it seems like the company aren't concerned which is a shame. It's still, for me, the best coffee out there though. It's worth trying but don't be surprised by the pods. Sometimes they work fine so maybe you'll get a lucky batch!

At the time of my relocation from Naples (Italy) to UK, I was very concerned about the choice of the coffee. In the past, I always used the Moka, but I found difficult to find good quality coffee powder in UK. I found instead that Nespresso-compatible capsules were available on Amazon UK, and I did not think twice to buy them. The quality of coffee is very high. I cannot say that the espresso from these capsules is comparable with that bought in the good bar of Naples, but it is the best I could get among all the available options. Each capsule comes in a pressurised aluminium envelope that, upon aperture, release a very nice smell of coffee. The coffee prepared through the Borbone capsule is also creamy, as expected by a Neapolitan espresso. The taste of the coffee is strong but is not as intense as the coffee prepared through the Moka machine. I personally prefer these capsules to the Nespresso ones (less strong, less creamy and more expensive than the Borbone), and to the Lory (less strong, less creamy than the Borbone). I have not tried other brands of coffee pods. The shipping arrives always on time, but I would like a subscription system as available on Amazon.it. As a final remark, I bought several boxes of 100 capsules, and I found that only 3-4 capsules were not working perfectly in my Nespresso Machine (the machine kept stopping the coffee flow, due to the capsule).

Really good taste and excellent value.

Wonderful taste and aroma. But outer packaging is very stubborn to open specially for a morning and the aluminium seal very very flimsy. Very often you will have ground coffee in your mug.

I love the taste of these, have (and will continue to) use and try other brands and flavours, but this is my 'daily go-to'. I am using these with a 'Nespresso Essenza Mini' and have never had any technical issues (I have used around 400 of these pods so far). I wished there was a better way of keeping the coffee fresh, other than using these little pouches as they are not environmentally friendly as far as I can tell. However opening them and getting this distinctly fragrant smell of coffee always puts a smile on my face. There was a high delivery charge around the time the Brexit came into effect and I stopped using these as with the delivery charge I found the product too expensive overall. However, I now find these are back to the pre-Brexit delivery arrangements (100 capsules at under £19.- and with free Amazon Prime delivery) so am happy to enjoying the Borbone brand again.

I LOVE this coffee! It's not watery or dull. There's a real depth and consistency of taste. Every mug of latte has superb taste and it makes you feel great! It's a very satisfying coffee and it's quite strong....but not too strong. It makes a terrific coffee at any time of day. Each capsule is individually wrapped which keeps the flavour in the capsule. It is definitely compatible with my home Nespresso machine. Incredible value for money. If I could choose only one coffee on my desert island it would be this one!

Really recommend it, I used to buy all sorts of pods like Starbucks, cafe Nero, supermarket brand etc, but they just never really hit the spot and I got sick of them after a while. These are so good! Great flavours and great value! I do wish the packaging was a bit more sustainable, as they come individually wrapped, but I recycle them at a tetra pack recycle centre fine

As an Italian living in London, I’ve been on the hunt for a coffee that feels like home, and Caffè Borbone’s Blue Blend was my go-to for a while. The flavor is really solid—rich, balanced, and satisfying, just like a proper espresso should be. The aroma that fills the kitchen when I brew it always makes my morning. It was a real treat, and I loved starting my day with it. But, here’s the thing… over time, I’ve started noticing some issues that have become a bit too hard to ignore. First, the plastic wrapping around each individual capsule is just too much. I care about the environment, and honestly, it’s a bit of a turn-off. The packaging just feels wasteful, especially since there’s already a plastic capsule inside. Now, for the bigger problem. The quality of the capsules has really gone down. At first, everything worked perfectly with my Nespresso Inissia, but now it’s a struggle. The water has trouble going through the capsules, and after just 3 cups, my machine gets stuck, with water collecting in the pot instead of brewing more coffee. What’s worse is that even though my machine is calibrated for espresso, I now have to press the button twice for each coffee to get a decent shot. And for the record, I’m Italian, so I know what a proper espresso should be! I know it’s not just my machine, though. I’ve talked to a few friends who use the same capsules, and they’ve been having the exact same problems. They’ve even switched to a different brand because of it. So, it’s definitely an issue with the capsules, not the machine. At this point, I’m seriously considering switching brands. It’s a shame because the taste was great, but with the packaging issues and the decline in quality, I’m not sure it’s worth it anymore.

Acquisto periodicamente queste capsule Borbone Miscela Blu per la mia macchina Nespresso e sono diventate ormai una scelta fissa. Il motivo principale è l'ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo: è difficile trovare un caffè in capsule gustoso a questo costo. Il sapore mi piace molto, ha un aroma deciso ma non troppo forte, ideale per la colazione o per la pausa durante la giornata. Tra le varie proposte di Borbone, la Miscela Blu rimane la mia preferita. Non ho mai avuto problemi con la consegna (che è sempre puntuale) né con l'integrità del prodotto: le capsule arrivano sempre perfette e sono totalmente compatibili con la macchinetta Nespresso, senza perdite d'acqua o inceppamenti. Un consiglio: le capsule arrivano impacchettate singolarmente sottovuoto. Anche se occupano leggermente più spazio, vi suggerisco di non commettere il mio errore: una volta le ho scartate tutte insieme per recuperare spazio, ma così perdono fragranza e il caffè risulta meno robusto. Meglio tenerle sigillate fino al momento dell'utilizzo. In sintesi: è una garanzia. Se cercate un caffè gustoso a un prezzo onesto, questa miscela è la soluzione ideale. Continuerò sicuramente ad acquistarlo.

Excellent café Mais service de livraison en Belgique par Colis Privé en dessous de tout !

Bardzo szybka dostawa, jednak przy ekspresie Nespresso essenza mini niezle trzeba się nagimnastykować przy wlozeniu prawidlowo kapsulki. Jesli chodzi o smak, próbowalam lepsze ale to jest kwestia indywidualna.

Good taste. Very fresh because of individual package

Ich habe die Borbone-Kapseln soeben ein zweites Mal bestellt. Die zuerst bestellte "Blaue Mischung" hat mir sehr gut gefallen: tolle Crema, schöner Duft und Farbe und vor allem ausgezeichnetes Aroma. Zumindest das Letztere ist allerdings eine Geschmacksfrage. Nun will ich die "Gold Mischung" ausprobieren. Ich ärgere mich allerdings über die negativen Rezensionen anderer Käufer, die das Produkt schlecht machen ohne groß nachzudenken, wie es mir scheint. Die verschiedenen Kaffeesorten von Borbone kenne und schätze ich schon lange. In der Kapselform probiere ich sie neu, weil ich mir aus reiner Bequemlichkeit jüngst eine Nespresso-Maschine dazu geholt habe. Bis heute habe ich 15 verschiedene Kaffeemischungen in originären Nespresso-Kapseln ausprobiert, die mir alle mehr oder wenige gut schmecken, aber keine so wie die Borbone-Mischung. Die Kritiker beklagen, dass die Borbone-Kapseln nicht die gleiche Form haben wie jene von Nespresso. Das stimmt und hat allein zur Folge, dass man sie mit einem Mindestmaß an Sorgfalt einsetzen muss, weil sie ansonsten knicken können. Dann läuft das Wasser natürlich auch an der Kapsel vorbei und der Espresso schmeckt entsprechend. Es ist mir bei meinem ersten Paket von 100 Kapseln nur einmal passiert. Dabei muss ich gestehen, dass ich anders als einer der Kritiker die Kapseln nicht einzeln aus ihrer bestens durchdachten Verpackung herausgeholt und gezählt habe. Ein wenig Vertrauen mag ich mir noch leisten. Einige stören sich daran, dass die Kapseln darin einzeln verpackt sind. In der feinen Alu-Hülle hat einer sogar Kaffeepulver entdeckt. Auch das hängt mit der Beschaffenheit der Borbone-Kapseln zusammen. Anders als die Nespressso-Kapseln sind diese bereits perforiert und müssen deswegen auch zusätzlich einzeln verpackt werden, damit der Kaffee sein Aroma nicht verliert. Das dabei ein wenig Kaffeepulver in der Alu-Hülle landen kann, ist denkbar. Ich habe das bis jetzt noch nicht bemerkt. Also, ich bleibe dabei: Von mir nur absolute Kaufempfehlung!
