Lavazza Espresso Maestro Decaf (DEK) Aluminum Capsules Compatible with Nespresso* Original Machines, Medium Espresso Roast, Arabica and Robusta Blend (60 Capsules)

I have been buying different Lavazza Nespresso compatible capsules and all of them were of high quality and tasted good. However, this Decaffeinated coffee is terrible. It is weak & watery and tastes like dripolator coffee.

I’ve tried several decaf capsules for my Nespresso Original Line machine, and this is easily my favorite. The Lavazza Espresso Maestro Decaf produces a rich, smooth espresso with excellent flavor and none of the harshness that some decaf coffees can have. My husband and I have started a routine of enjoying an afternoon espresso and a biscotti on our patio, and this has become our go-to capsule for that daily break. It’s smooth, flavorful, and satisfying without the caffeine, making it perfect for later in the day. It consistently brews with a thick, attractive crema and delivers a satisfying espresso experience whether enjoyed on its own or used in milk-based drinks. The flavor is well-balanced, making it hard to believe it’s decaf. The aluminum capsules work perfectly in my Nespresso Original Line machine with no compatibility issues. If you’re looking for a high-quality decaf espresso that doesn’t sacrifice taste, this is an excellent choice. Highly recommended for decaf coffee drinkers.

A wonderful way to reduce my caffeine intake. I have 310mg of caffeine before work with my double espresso wake-up and my 16oz brewed coffee travel mug for the commute. I switched to decaf options throughout the day and I now feel better having made the switch. I rotate through four decaffeinated Nespresso Original Pods: this Lavazza Espresso Maestro Decaf (DEK) (7/13), Peet's Decaffeinato Ristretto Espresso (9/13), L'OR Ristretto Decaffeinato Espresso (9/13) and Target Good & Gather Signature Decaffeinated Lentando Espresso (8/13). I enjoy this melody that offer excellent flavor, aroma and crema without the bitterness and acidity. All work well in my Nespresso CitiZ and are recyclable through the Peet's recycle system. I have been able to buy the Lavazza, Peet's and L'OR capsules in larger quantities and subscription specials on Amazon for a better value. This is a review of a melody of different decaffeinated flavors that I recommend for an enjoyable reduced caffeine intake.

Very weak and watery so probably for folks that prefer something very mild

This is really good coffee! You would never know it's decaffeinated. The only issue I have is with the capsules and I hope Lavazza fixes this problem. Sometimes the capsules crush in the machine causing it to struggle while dispensing. This causes some of the coffee to back up into the drip tray, so you don't get the right amount in your cup. Other times it can come out a bit watery. Not every time but sometimes. I never have this problem with the Nespresso brand pods. The 40 ml espresso gives the best flavor and crema, and the 110 ml Lungo tastes like a nice cup of regular coffee. They are definitely worth buying it but be forewarned.
