Amazon Fresh Intenso Dark, Medium & Forte Light Roast Aluminum Capsules, Variety Pack, Compatible with Nespresso Original Brewers, 50 Count (5 Packs of 10)

I was honestly surprised by how good the Amazon Fresh Espresso Pods are. They taste just as smooth and rich as the Nespresso brand pods I’ve been buying for years. The flavors are bold without being bitter, and they brew consistently every time. The biggest win is the price, they’re significantly cheaper than the Nespresso-branded pods, but the quality is absolutely comparable.

After purchasing Nespresso and Lavazza brand espresso pods for years, we decided to try Amazon's version. We love them! For what they are, we give them a 5 out of 5. If I were to directly compare them to Nespresso, I'd give them a 4 out of 5. Price can't be beat at $0.30 a pod! At that price (50 for $15), you can afford to try them out. I almost want to give them a bad review to keep everyone else from buying them up! Because often, when I go to order, they're sold out for weeks at a time. They fit perfectly in our Nespresso Essenza Mini machine. We've been purchasing these off and on for over a year. So this review is based on long term use. We almost never receive damaged pods (once I think, and only part of one sleeve was damaged). They consistently brew with a good crema on top. Not sure if that's due to quality of pods or just our machine. They're good on their own or in a homemade latte (try using warmed whole milk or oat milk, a little maple syrup, little dark brown sugar, a small pat of butter, two pinches of salt, add 2 espresso shots & stir...divine!).

You can't beat the price for these high quality coffee pods. I have had no problems with leakage and the quality for the price is exceptional. Great aroma and taste however the crema is a little weak. I highly recommend this variety pack so you can find your favorite.

One of the best Nespresso replacement coffees out there in my opinion. Such a bummer that it’s always out of stock.

This coffee is as good as the original highly recommend it. I was actually surprised in shock of the quality of this coffee.

I have tried so many different brands of espresso for our L'or Barista machine, and Amazon's brand is a top contender! I love the different roasts in this variety pack - I tend to drink coffee throughout the day, and my tastes can vary by the time of day! These blends are extremely palatable with low acidity - great drinkability, even without adding a creamer or sweetener. The pods fit perfectly in the L'or machine, and I love how easy they are to pop in the holder - no fuss. If you're looking for an affordable espresso capsule that has high-end quality, look no further!

great option incredible price

They do the trick, but leave you with a bitter taste at the end.
