Lavazza Espresso Capsules Compatible with Nespresso Original Machines Variety Pack, 10 Count (Pack of 6)

LavAzza makes a quality product! According to the labels on the box this shipment came directly from LavAzza distribution to Amazon to me, - Which I like, no other parties involved. The pods were packed well in good packaging, so the pods were in good condition when they arrived. I have had issues in the past with other brands arriving all banged up, but this shipment arrived in good condition. My order arrived a day late even though I have prime, but that’s OK, it’s still got here fairly quickly. The taste of the coffee is very good, which is what I would expect from LavAzza. Personally I prefer the darker blend capsules, with my favorite being Armonico. Other customers must feel the same, because Armonico is the one pod that you get two boxes of instead of one. The decaf pods are good too, though they’re not as dark or rich as the other two types of espresso pods. The two types of Lungo pods are good too, though again they are lighter blends and not as rich as the espresso pods. I also like that the name of the coffe type is printed on the foil of each pod, should you keep your pods in something other than their original box. The negatives to buying this brand are minimal, but they include the following: - The pods are constructed of plastic rather than aluminum (Nespresso, Pete’s, and Starbucks use aluminum to construct a higher quality Nespresso-compatible pod.) - Foil is used for the top and bottom of the pod, which is less durable then the hard plastic or aluminum used buy some other brands. - The pods are of a non-standard shape and design (Meaning: With ridged walls and other slight differences they look a little different than the standard Nespresso pod design) - However.. I have not had any issue at all with the LavAzza pods fitting in any of my official Nespresso machines. Overall I think these LavAzza pods are an excellent value for the quality you get. I have purchased them before, and I will buy them again. Despite some very minor drawbacks I still give these pods five out of five stars. I just wish they would start constructing their pods out of aluminum and instead of plastic.

It’s true Italian espresso that has sold flavor and gets the job done. GOOD MORNING, MORNING!!! Flavor profile are consistent with espresso; smooth, nutty, smokey with some notes of caramel, and a slightly floral nose. That’s what I would say if I knew anything about the flavor profiles of coffee. Alas, espresso is purely utilitarian for me; four shots at a time with a long shot of hot water and some heavy cream. No sugar please. We’ve been enthusiastic Nespresso fans for many years, and for many of these years we ordered hundreds of pods at a time in order to qualify for free shipping and next-day delivery. It was a great set-up. Then one day Nespresso opened up free shipping to everyone, with much lower order limits, and it became anyone’s guess when our coffee would actually arrive. Not cool. We were introduced to Nespresso while living abroad, and simultaneously thoroughly enjoying the Lavazza cafes. We were ecstatic to see Lavazza Nespresso pods show up on our local grocer’s shelves, and for slightly less than the Nespresso pods. We bought a box, and did not regret it. Here on Amazon the price is right, and I enjoy these pods alongside Nespresso pods and Peet’s Coffee Nespresso pods. These are plastic pods with an aluminum foil top. They deliver consistent shots, and consistent flavor. Similar pods from Amazon, Trader Joe’s, and myriad other knock-off pod makers struggle with consistent streams through the pod. Some blow out, some send clear water around the shot - if you’ve tried them you know what I’m talking about. It’s frustrating to spend that money and have the pods fail. These are quality pods that deliver a quality product. Now for my credibility. Some of you guys can weave poetry with your connoisseurs lexicon of espresso appreciation. That’s not something I care about. This is not artisan espresso from a fancy panaderia or high end cafe. I don’t know whether or not it is in that arena. For me the flavor is great, the consistency is there, and the price is almost perfect.

These Lavazza capsules taste pretty good, but there made of plastic instead of aluminum like all the other pod manufactures use ! so they fit real snug in my machine and are very hard to get out. Plus if you use recycle bags to send or use capsules back you have to remember not to put the plastic ones in the aluminum recycle return package

I really enjoyed the Lavazza capsuled when I was in Italy, and wanted to have this option at home. These are legacy Nespresso, designed for 1 cup espresso, but they are flavorful enough you can increase and with some treat as 2 cup. I use the adapter for my Gevi machine and that lets me adjust the volume setting. I tested the variety pack, you have 5 packs of different intensity from 4-10 (2 8's which seem to be the most popular) and one decalf (for those late afternoon's where you want a taste but still would like to sleep). I got this to test out which variety I like the most (8 and 10 obviously) and later you can get 6 packs (60 pods) of the ones you like best for similar price. The value is substantial vs buying individual boxes of 10, which is why the variety pack is a good first step. Many of these are also available as beans (my machine can do both) and keep an eye out for 20% off. Good selection, great flavor, good bargain.

Great tasting coffee and a good deal for the price. I was looking for an alternative to buying more Nespresso capsules. I used these capsules to make my iced Americanos.

Just fyi, these DO NOT fit nespresso original, at least not my 15+year old Citriz. The foil lid is not getting punctured, and clean water comes out instead. Capsule can be retrieved and tried over until it does work. Once the capsule lever was Forcefully closed, the foil top punctured ok. The coffee, once you get some, is delicious. Still fooling with the capsules to figure out wtf is going on.

wonderful productcoffee and pods are perfect coffee excellent, my fave

There are a few aspects to this review. The taste is okay in some of the flavors. The pod will fall all the way through until you learn you can catch the pod by lifting the lever part way and then the pod will end up in the right place. But the water does not go through properly. The pump has to work much harder and longer as the water dribbles through. Last, but certainly not least, a few cups of this coffee makes you aggressive and a bit wired in a way that is not like being caffeinated. I will not buy this again. I am not sure I will even drink it all as the effect is wholly undesirable. Even the design of the boxes is poor. There is no marking to differentiate them except on the top. This is poor design and requires keeping the boxes until the contents are all gone to know which is which by looking at the top of the box. How dumb! I thought Lavazza was going to be great. What a disappointment. I'll never buy it again. I am a die hard coffee drinker with expresso and various other coffee machines and makers, and have several types of coffee in my cabinet right now.

J’apprécie réellement ce choix de saveur et des degrés d’intensité, de plus j’aime beaucoup d’avoir un renouvellement automatique.

Order a variety pack but received Armonico for all 6 boxes, so obviously displeased. Also, as others have pointed out, unlike competitor brands, the capsules are not fully aluminum but partly plastic. Espresso tastes fine though.

Lavazza es siempre garantía para un café de calidad

Muy bien café, ¡recomendable!

Tastes the same as Nespresso for a lot less $$$. And it fits the machine well. No issues. And tastes much better than the Agga brand.
