BestpressoCoffee for Nespresso OriginalLine Machine 120 pods Certified Genuine Espresso Variety Pack, Pods Compatible with Nespresso OriginalLine

You're reading these reviews because you want to find a more affordable option to the actual Nespresso brand capsules. Who can blame you?The real ones made by Nespresso cost between 70¢ and $1. If you ask me, that's pretty expensive for a cup of coffee you make at home!Here's the longer story, done (slightly) shorter...If you've ever tasted a Nespresso Kazaar capsule, you've tasted the single most delicious cup of espresso that you're likely to ever have - AT HOME.If you think you're likely to replicate that with any other brand, I wish you the best of luck and happy hunting.Fact is, the Nespresso capsules have achieved something that none of the rest have been able to replicate - YET.Smoothness and richness of flavor without that burnt, over-roasted taste that you so often find with many espresso blends.I can tell you without any hesitation, if you've never had a Nespresso capsule, you will think these taste AMAZING.But this isn't a Nespresso capsule review, it's a Bestpresso review for the 01, 02, 03, 04, 06 & 07 capsules.There are very minor differences in all 6 of these roasts, but one thing remains constant throughout all of them. There is a pervasive over-roasted flavor, that I'm assuming is there to give you the impression of a more sophisticated blend. I can assure you that you will not mistake these for a ripoff of the Nespresso branded coffees. I can however tell you, the differences between the blends are so minor, that you may not be able to distinguish one from the other.With all of that said, I have brewed the Bestpresso espresso capsules with the proper amount of water, the lungo capsules with the proper amount of water and the ristretto using the Nespresso recommended 15 second brew-time. I can tell you without any hesitation that there is an AMAZING crema on every single blend. I can tell you without any hesitation that every capsule I've used (over 20 at this point) has brewed consistently, producing the same quantity of coffee each and every time. I've had no stuck capsules, no false starts, no under-pours either.If you are looking for a budget friendly, fresh cup of espresso, that not only tastes great but also gives you a great buzz, you will love this coffee!For completeness, I am using a 2017 model Nespresso Inissia by DeLonghi - AND I LOVE IT!I came from an unsatisfying Keurig 2.0 environment and can't even THINK about having another cup made by that thing.I can tell you with a high level of certainty, the bad reviews for Bestpresso capsules were more than likely made by coffee-snobs or serious connoisseurs of gourmet coffees. Those people should stick with the $3,000 double-boiler machines. If all you want is an excellent cup of espresso, and you're not out to compare every sip with every other type/brand of coffee in the known universe, Bestpresso's Gourmet Coffee Capsules will make you very happy!I will definitely be buying these again...Happy Sipping! ^_^UPDATE: I've now been through more than 90 capsules and I can assure you that every single cup you make will be as fresh, aromatic and correct sized as the first!The other thing that I want to go on record as saying, is I've been through the 16-pack of samples that Nespresso gives you when you purchase the Nespresso and only 3 of them were EXCELLENT. The other 13 all had a bitter-Starbucks type of flavor. If you don't like the bitterness in Starbucks coffee, you'll love the Bestpresso capsules. With that said, the Arabica blend (#03) is the only one with ANY bitterness and it's very minor. I still stand by my original review 100% and will continue to buy these as long as the price is right! :)

this is high quality coffee that came with 3 flavours,(vanilla, chocolate, Carmel). that are delicious and full body with full flavor, aroma, and strength that rival other brands costing many times more. it was on sale at about 23 cents per pod but is still an excellent value when not on sale..

I've not tried Nespresso capsules themselves, but of the many other brands this pack was a surprise in that all but the darkest were drinkable and 4 of the six were actually quite good. I've tried a half dozen competitor's assorted at this point and given most of most of them away. This coffee is actually fresh, and makes a very good near espresso at the 15-20 grams of water setting I use. It's sippable straight up, and two capsules goes splendidly with 6 oz of milk or as an americano at 2oz of milk and 4 of hot water.This one goes on subscribe and save, and I'm done hunting for better. I'll give the dark intenso and soso verona away, and the rest are mine all mine. I tried the flavoured set and they and the brazil and columbia are quite decent too. Add in the price and it's 5 stars by my book

UPDATED COMMENTS:The good news: IF you like lungo (I'm not a huge fan, but...), these are actually very serviceable, especially when considering the price.Working with these a bit, we noticed the issue we had with espresso seems to be related to some water initially passing through without having made contact with the coffee. This makes for a watery and flat espresso. But if you do lungo, the volume of clear water gets compensated for with the longer brew and total volume; that is, it all comes out in the wash. Its not apparent if the issue is due to the way the grounds are packed in the pod, imprecise pod design, or an issue with the foil, or just a bad lot of pods (we don't have the issue with Nespresso or Starbucks pods). But to their credit, the company offered a full refund, so they are to be applauded for customer service and standing by their product.Conclusion: good for lungo, especially considering the price. The verdict is still out for espresso.ORIGINAL REVIEW:If you think office coffee, instant coffee, or the stuff served at a high school banquet, is perfect, then this might be for you if you want to make a foray into espresso. It's inexpensive and you can pretend to drink espresso too! But if you take your coffee, especially espresso seriously, move on. Even at the bargain price this isn't worth it. No depth or character in any of the varieties in the multi-pack; some bitterness, but not the right kind. It's probably not an issue of freshness, but of poor quality beans and unartful roasting. Again, this is cheaply priced, but if you've invested in a device to make pod espresso price in not likely the driver for you (granting that a pod espresso device itself is a compromise).

These are an awesome alternative to regular Nespresso pods. For the price and quality you cannot beat it. These brew a fantastic cup of coffee, and for getting 60 double shots for the price of 25-30 dollars is a huge money saver. Try these and you wont be disappointed, especially with all of their variety.Btw, the new pods they have are an even better brewing experience as well. They are the same size, the seal holds up better, and coffee comes out even smoother. Any machine that takes Nespresso pods this works on, so look into an espresso machine with a nespresso pod adapter.

Excellent quality coffee, creamy and full taste for a very fair price. Highly recommend
