ROSSO CAFFE Espresso Capsules for Nespresso Machines - 120 Coffee Pods Variety Value Pack - Premium Aluminium Capsules - Breakfast, Medium, and Dark Roast

Rosso coffee pods for the Nespresso Pixie are really great. The flavor and strength options are good and I love that the pack comes with different varieties. Will keep ordering--excellent quality product and a great price.

delicious coffee, I recommend it

I've been using these since I got my Nespresso machine over a year ago. I've always had the same troubles other people describe where sometimes the plastic pods wouldn't perform correctly and you'd only get about half the liquid out that you're supposed to get. To remedy that, I'd typically just press the button again and fill up the cup more. Additionally, the espresso was okay, but not really good or great. But for the price, I always thought it was acceptable.The shipment I received this past week, they have switched to aluminum capsules so they function PERFECTLY in my Nespresso machine. And much to my surprise, the espresso actually tastes better, too. It has a stronger, bolder flavor that I would more typically expect with a handmade espresso (I order the "dark" variety so this is exactly what I'm going for).If you've tried this before but couldn't get past the plastic pod and weaker flavor, it's worth giving it a try again with these aluminum pods.

Somehow they taste great even though my machine labors to push the water through these pods... the espresso surprisingly doesn't taste burned but I worry that over time the excess pressure on my machine's pump will cause the machine to break. The water labors to trickle through.. I doubt that many people are experiencing this problem with these pods so perhaps it's just this batch? I don't have the same problem with Peets, Cafe La Llave, Lavazza, or Cafe Romano pods...Another brand I've had this issue with is Fresh Roasted Coffee LLC. Why still four stars? Because they are on par taste-wise with the best non-Nespresso-branded pods.

Deliciosos

So, I've honestly given these pods the best chance I could over the last month and a half, I sometimes drink hot coffee- but even then it doesn't seem flavorful, but My iced coffee is always 4 shots of espresso, 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream, a splash of milk & 2 flavor pumps + ice, always for the past 2 years, never had an issue with the previous off-brand pods I was using. It's the same machine and it has been cleaned also, so that variable is taken care of - there's no reason these should be this lacking in flavor, I've even tried putting the espresso in a non-insulated cup to let it cool off first before I add any ice - same result even when the coffee has been cooled.These ones are not that great and it's past their return period so I guess I'm stuck attempting to mix them into whatever I express-ship here.TLDER: Don't buy these if you like bold iced or bold coffee with a little sweetness, they'll disappoint you.Edit: I know I am not required to update my review based on what a manufacturer has contacted me about before anyone thinks Rosso bought me out - I can respect them on a manufacturer level and a corporate level now, They offered me a full refund for both of my orders for decaff and caffeinated products AND they offered a free 20 pack of their fancier pods to try to see if I like them, I still stand by the fact that I do not like these for the above reasons - but they did not ignore the issue unlike how most companies would have, I can respect that and I think everyone else should too. I'll update you about the reserve collection when I receive them and get a chance to try them in hot and iced coffee!

Great price for pods but box was damaged so I wasn’t able to gift as intended. I kept for myself and the espresso is great tasting with a good variety. Contents and packaging inside were fine.The Rosso team responded quickly to the review and will be sending a replacement that I can now gift and share a great tasting espresso product.

Great coffee
