PRESSOGNO 60 Pack NESPRESSO Compatible (OriginalLine) Coffee Capsules - Italian Premium Café Espresso Variety Pack – Fair Trade

This by far has the best crema of all Nespresso compatible capsules I have tried thus far. I tried to capture it in the attached photos. Its color and thickness almost equals the original Nespresso. The taste and smell is equally impressive. During the extraction, I can see that coffee flows out with ease and with good consistency. I’ve experienced with other compatible capsules where it seems to be straining to come out. The taste I would say most closely resembles an actual shot of espresso. This is what really surprised me. Other Nespresso compatible capsules I have tried are never this strong. One thing I noticed is that I can really feel the caffeine kick right away with this brand; maybe it’s because they are sealed with nitrogen keeping the ground fresher. This will be my go-to drink before going out for a run. I will definitely buy this again.UPDATE: 3-18-18I absolutely love this brand. The flow rate is very consistent. The aroma during extraction is pretty darn close to Nespresso. And the taste again is full and complex.

Coffees are inferior to Nespresso varieties and are a bit weak and lack complexity, about what you'd expect for the price. However the real problem is about 1/3 of pods exploded in my machine and were unusable. The problem is there is a thin foil seal on the bottom of the pod rather than the solid structure of the Nespresso units. This foil pops off during extraction sending coffees grounds everywhere and wasting the pod. With the waste factored in these are more expensive than the Nespresso.Update: The needles in the machine were not punturing the bottom foil of the pod causing pressure to build up and thus the exploding pods. Holding the handle down during extraction with extra pressure seems to fix.

I absolutely love these coffee capsules! The quality is every bit as good as the Nespresso brand, and thank GOODNESS there are no decaf capsules in the set. The crema is rich and thick; the espresso is smooth and flavorful. The three intensities are perfect for a variety of espresso drinks: Americano, Mocha, Macchiato, Latte, etc. After "testing" these out for two months (I've bought five or six packs of these by now), I will vouch for the consistent excellence of this product. A definite keeper, and my favorite treat!

One of the reasons I purchased an Original line Nespresso Cititz was because of the availability of lower costs compatible pods (didn't want to be locked into the cost of the VertuoLine pods as a new buyer of the Nespresso product). Started out by getting a feel for the machine and coffee with the Nespresso samples that came with it, and then purchased these PRESSOGNO branded capsules. I have to say that both my wife and I were pleased with them. All three flavors come through nice and strong on the machine on both espresso and luongo settings, and as another reviewer commented I feel the kick of the caffeine almost right away. The Forte flavor was my favorite, but the clasico and medium was also very good. Non were overly bitter or acidic, and all provided nice crema and aroma.I didn't encounter any of the bottom blowout that some reviewers mentioned, so all good there from a performance perspective.The capsules are plastic, with foil on top and bottom. On being green, if you're concerned about plastic in the landfills like I am, on the used ones you can easily cut away the foil, dump the grinds into your compost or garden, and drop the capsules into the recycle bin. A bit tedious but not too arduous a chore.Overall I'm happy with this purchase and will purchase again once they are available. Actually thats what prompted this review, that I was looking to to re-order...... :-)

I’m very happy about these Pressogno Coffee Capsules. I tried them for the first time in August 2021. I mostly use them in my Nespresso Lattissima Plus (Original-Line) Coffee and Espresso Machine on its Lungo coffee setting, and I don’t have any complaints. They also seem fine when I make espressos and lattes.The aroma during the extraction is agreeable, and the coffee flows out at the normal rate. The crema is rich, and the flavor is quite nice and smooth.Prior to using these Pressogno pods, I have used pods by Nespresso and Starbucks for years. I’m not a coffee snob, but I can recognize the merits and faults of various coffees. When you factor in that the cost of these Pressogno pods are literally only one-third the price, any minor difference in flavor can be overlooked.In the future these will be my go-to coffee pods. At .33 cents per pod they are an excellent value.--JM 8/13/2021

The Pressogno espresso pods are very good. I am enjoying the taste and trying the different strengths . I appreciate the price for these Nespresso compatible pods. I would recommend.

I absolutely LOVE these Nespresso coffee capsules I bought from Pressogno. The taste of each flavor option is delicious for my lattes and the price is unbeatable. I will highly recommend them to my friends.

I thought that I'd give these a try, and have not been disappointed. Taste (to my palate, at least) is indistinguishable from Nespresso's.

For the price very nice quite smooth no aftertaste.Pods work very well in my machine (citiz).

Nice Nespresso compatible option for your morning fix at a lot more budget friendly price. You get 3 different flavors, 20 pods each. Each flavor is different strength. I only use my Nespresso for lattes or macchiatos, so I can't comment how good a simple espresso tastes with these, but this coffee tastes pretty darn good in a latte or macchiato.I will most certainly be buying again, I got a Nespresso machine as a gift (normally I use a simple drip machine) and I cannot justify the price of the "real" stuff..... and realistically, in a latte I have a hard time telling the flavors apart anyways, so why would I spend over $2 per cup when I can get a comparable cup for fifty cents.Absolutely recommend.

Good quality. I tried them at my sister in law’s in Toronto and ordered them for myself when I got back to BC. They are light, medium and strong and I liked them all I have an 8 oz keurig with a shot of espresso in the morning topped with cream. It’s lovely. But nothing is as good as an original Nespresso Cosi. At half the price these are a great everyday alternative. Will order again soon.

Workable perfectly with my Nespresso machine. Each flavour is equally good. I either drink it as a shot on its own or as an Americano with hot water. My boyfriend has it in a latte. We’re both very impressed and will buy this again.

I was happy with the delivery time from when I placed the order as well as the packaging. I really enjoyed the variety of flavours in the pack and was impressed with the quality of the product. I usually add some hot water to make an Americano but I also enjoyed a shot of the medium on it’s own. I will definitely be opting for these compatable pods from now on.
