Nespresso Original Coffee Pods, 50 Mixed Pack - 10 Arpeggio, 10 Ristretto, 10 Capriccio, 10 Roma, 10 Livanto Capsules for Nespresso Machines. Make Espressos, Cappuccino and Macchiato. Recyclable Pods

The Nespresso Ristretto pods are a solid choice for espresso lovers who enjoy a strong, well-balanced coffee. I’ve been using them with my Sage Creatista Pro, brewed in "ristretto" mode, and the results have been consistently good, especially if paired with half a spoon of sugar. The flavour profile leans toward dark and intense, and the crema is rich and smooth, with a very inviting aroma. I'd suggest to brew this as "ristretto" and not "espresso" let alone "lungo", to avoid the taste becoming too bitter. The pods are compatible with Nespresso "OL" (Original Line) machines and and lock in snugly, and the machine extracts the coffee quickly and efficiently (unlike some third party pods, especially plastic ones or even aluminium supermarket brand ones, which tend to be problematic). The unboxing experience is typical Nespresso, so very premium and stylish, even perfect as a gift. Overall, the Nespresso Ristretto pods offer a really pleasant espresso experience. While they may not be ideal for lungo lovers or milk-based drinks, they are a high-quality option for everyday use - they really remind me of the high quality coffee I used to get from high end bars in Italy! If you prefer a robust and slightly bold coffee, these are worth a shot.

If you're a fan of strong, concentrated coffee, then Nespresso's Ristretto capsules are a must-try. These little pods pack a punch, delivering a bold, intense espresso shot that's perfect for those who like their coffee short and strong. What I Like: * Intense Flavour: The Ristretto capsules deliver a rich, full-bodied coffee with a dark, roasted flavour. * Quick and Easy: Pop a capsule in, press a button, and enjoy a perfect espresso in seconds. * Premium Quality: Nespresso's coffee is consistently high-quality, and the Ristretto capsules are no exception. What Could Be Better: * Price: As with all Nespresso capsules, they can be a bit pricey, especially if you're a regular coffee drinker. Overall: If you're a coffee connoisseur who appreciates a strong, concentrated espresso, Nespresso's Ristretto capsules are a great choice. They're a quick and easy way to enjoy a high-quality coffee at home. Just be prepared to pay a premium for the convenience.

Quality and variety mix is great, excellent delivery,

Excellent

Nespresso Ristretto capsules have become my go-to for when I need a strong, flavour-packed coffee that’s full of character. The intensity is just right—bold without being overpowering—and it delivers a deep, rich flavour with subtle hints of cocoa and a touch of fruitiness that makes it stand out from other blends. It’s the kind of coffee that wakes you up, not just physically but also with its complexity. I especially love the versatility of the Ristretto. On busy mornings, I’ll enjoy it as a straight shot—quick, intense, and satisfying. But it’s just as good with a splash of milk, where the creaminess blends beautifully with the robust coffee base. Whether it’s a quick espresso or a more indulgent latte, it holds its own and doesn’t lose any of its depth. What sets it apart for me, though, is the aroma. From the moment it brews, it fills the room with this rich, almost chocolatey scent that makes the experience feel like more than just drinking coffee—it’s like a mini café moment at home. If you’re someone who appreciates a strong, complex espresso, Ristretto is a must-try. It’s reliable, flavourful, and has that perfect balance of strength and smoothness. I always make sure I’ve got a stash of these capsules in the cupboard—they never disappoint.

Great price .Well packaged.

Let me start by stating that since buying my first Nespresso pod machine around 7 years ago, I completely stopped drinking instant coffee. I don’t mind being called a coffee snob, I just can’t bring myself to drink instant when it just isn’t anywhere near the taste of pod or bean to cup. This is the first time I’ve tried Nespresso Ristretto pods. I like to try as many different brands and varieties as possible, as I find that although I have my favourites, it’s good to broaden your taste experience as sometimes I stumble on a little gem - which is what has happened with these Ristretto pods. This is one of the smoothest tasting Nespresso pods I’ve ever had. The strength rating is 10 out of 13, which surprised me as a lot of the stronger pods seem to also come with a more bitter taste; that’s not to say I don’t enjoy bitter coffee, this one just caught me off-guard with how smooth it was. I make Americano coffee with my pods by topping the shot up with hot water and adding a dash of milk, so cannot comment on how it is as an espresso shot - that’s a bit hardcore for me! One pod was certainly enough for a decent sized mug, I’ve found that some pods aren’t strong enough without adding an extra shot. Overall, I’d say a super-smooth flavour, without the bitterness. I will absolutely be adding these to my favourites list and buying again.

Disappointed that the use by date is only 4 months

I already knew I liked one of them but having all the other options made me discover new favorites

Caffè nespresso, super aroma e qualità

This Nespresso variety pack is excellent. The mix of medium and dark roasts gives you a nice selection depending on your mood, and every capsule tastes smooth, rich, and consistent. It’s my favorite way to try different flavors without committing to one box. Great value for the money for a 50-count pack (I buy it on sale), and I’ll definitely reorder.

Exactly as described, fit the machine which I wasn’t sure it would, delicious, perfect strength
