- Italian Coffee pods compatible with Nespresso Original machines, Espresso capsules (100 Passione regular pods, 100 Count (Pack of 1)), red

I've been purchasing these once a month for the last year and a half. Solid, delicious and easily the best value for dollar. Enjoy.

I've been buying this coffee for some time and will continue to do so. It is incredibly inexpensive and I love it with my creamer

I read tons of reviews on this before buying, good and bad. Decided to trying for the cost alone - ridiculously good price compared to nespresso (the only pods I had ever tried up to this point). The flavor surprised me - it’s great. Nice bold, rich, fresh, creamy flavor. Just as good, if not better than most nespresso. I have went through 2 boxes so far and not one has not punctured in the machine, all working with no issue. I am very happy with this product, and will be a future customer for sure!

These work great and taste delightful. I can see no difference between these and the Nespresso brand capsules. I’ve bought these like 3 times.

Tastes terrible, DO NOT buy, the best way I can describe it is it tastes like stale coffee flavored water. Too weak yet too strong at the same time in different ways. Imagine if you made coffee and let it sit on the counter for 6 hours, that’s what this tastes like. Not to mention the fact that it seems to make the machine flow really slow, so it’s definitely choking up, which wouldn’t be good for the pump.

Excellent EXPRESSO Pods! Have been using them for several years at a great price!

Good

As a past associate member of the US Specialty Coffee Association, over the years I've sourced, roasted and brewed several coffees on various brewing machines. I bought these capsules as I needed a capsule to review a self-contained, brewing unit that's rechargeable-battery powered, and both heats and pumps its hot water through either grounds or capsules. I typically don't brew capsules or pods. But have brewed them to review larger plug-in single-serve brewing units. This little device only accepts the 'original' Nespresso brand capsules. It doesn't accept the larger pods. And the cost per capsule was exceedingly low. With a focus on the 'Delicitaly Italian Coffee pods', I was a bit disappointed. At my at-home commercial test counter, I typically brew espresso blends and single origins that are roasted, allowed to outgas for 3-5 days, and then kept fresh for grinding over the next couple weeks. So knowing that most pod and capsule coffees suffer from 'age' given they're usually out of the roast for over a month, I had to adjust my expectations. And given the small 'coffee-grounds volume' of these capsules, there's not really enough coffee here to meet even a single-espresso extraction; 9-grams of ground coffee. Specific to this particular pod, I brewed it twice. Both times I used water heated to 203-degrees F. One extraction was with 80-ml of water. And the second was with 50+ ml of water. I found that the 80-ml extraction yielded what is called (phonetically) 'Shah-fay' in Brasil. 'Shah' (phonetically) in Portuguese means 'tea.' So it's a take off on 'Kah-fay' (phonetically), meaning coffee. Bottom line, the brew was as weak as tea. And yes, whatever tones were available in the capsule were either lost in the 'process' or probably didn't exist. At the lower volume of water, 50-55 ml, I could better taste the capsule's coffee. I couldn't imagine using much more than 80-ml of water with these little capsules as the coffee would be, for us, more like light tea. I used both extractions to make what would best be a mini-cappuccino, or a macchiato with a touch of steamed milk. But prior to adding the froth and steamed milk, the extraction came across more like a generic 3-bean blend, slightly over-roasted. In my humble opinion, It certainly is not what I'd call an espresso blend. I'm wondering if I should have just gone to one of their more 'in the middle' full bodied offerings. (?) I wouldn't recommend this particular version of the company's capsule-offerings.

Awesome value. Have gone through 100s of these pods now without issue. About 1/3 the cost of Nespresso. I've tried several of their flavours and they are all pretty great. The only reason to consider Nespresso would be their pod recycling program but I didn't use that (it's hard for me to fathom it being green when I'm mailing bags of pods around the world). Info was a bit hard to find about these but the seller sent me this: Ristretto - Made of Robusta beans, dark roast, strong and dark blend, might taste a lili bitter to some. On our intensity scale 10/10 - Passione - A mix of Robusta and Arabica beans, espresso roast, so still a good strength but not as dark as Ristretto. 9/10 - Crema - A mix of Arabica and Robusta beans, espresso roast, classic medium Italian espresso. This is our best selling blend in Italy. 8/10 - Magia - 100% Arabica from South America, espresso roast. Mellow and smooth taste. 8/10 - Lungo - 100% mix of Arabica beans. Medium blend designed for drinks up to 110ml. 7/10 - Sinfonia - 100% mix of Arabica beans and a blonde roast. On the light side and very pleasant taste. 7/10

Never assume a lesser cost is a lesser quality. This coffee, at $0.36 per shot is as good as any. I prefer it over Nespresso brand and find it equal to Starbucks which I prefer to Nespresso pods. Most importantly, the pods themselves, while plastic and foil are as good as both Nepresso and Starbucks pods that are aluminum. These two quality brands were my favourites, but I prefer Starbucks to Nespresso. These pods pierce properly and they have the same foil tops as the leaders. Also, the Pixie's tray is not full of spillage after you use it. The design of the pods that has been done with care. The crema is excellent. The body of the coffee is full, not watery or weak. I hope these continue to always be available. As long as that is so, I will be buying. Highly recommended. (PS - I have tried nearly every other similar pod that has come on the market, but only once for each type. All were vastly inferior to Starbucks. This, in my view, is in a dead heat with Starbucks pods.

Bon, mais léger un peu au goût.

Delicitaly Passione Nespresso Pods: A Bold and Flavorful Choice! I'm a big fan of Nespresso, but the cost of original pods can really add up.

The product outer box was completely torn open. There were damaged pods and coffee grounds in the box. I've purchased this coffee numerous times and this is the first time I ever have had this problem.
