Don Francisco's Old Havana Espresso Pods: 40 Recyclable Aluminum Capsules, Intensity 8 Medium Dark Roast, Nespresso Original Line Compatible - Bold Cuban-Style coffee with Nutty Notes

Works great with my Nespresso machine. Amazing taste. Much cheaper than to buy in original Nesspresso store.

Great value for the money - taste good too

Unlike the Bestpresso capsules, the Don Francisco capsules do allow the water to flow through the capsule correctly. Brewed fine and tastes reasonable. However, the flavor seems to be weak. Seems like these capsule makers have to find the balance between allowing the flow of water through the capsule and the density of the coffee grinds. This one has better flow at the expense of flavor intensity. Still tastes okay, but would be better if it was stronger.

The standout feature of this variety pack is undoubtedly the impeccable balance between price and quality. Don Francisco's and Cafe La Llave have managed to create a collection of espresso capsules that deliver a rich, flavorful experience without breaking the bank. This makes it an ideal choice for coffee enthusiasts who appreciate a good deal without compromising on the intensity and depth of their espresso.The compatibility with the Nespresso Original line pods is a thoughtful touch. It not only opens up a world of options for users familiar with this system but also ensures that the capsules are made from the same high-quality materials. The result is a seamless brewing experience that preserves the authenticity and richness of each blend.A noteworthy aspect for users of Breville Creatista Pro machines is the perfect fit of these capsules. The compatibility extends beyond just brand matching, as the capsules are designed to effortlessly integrate into the Breville Creatista Pro, ensuring a hassle-free brewing process. This attention to compatibility enhances the overall user experience, making it a standout choice for those with specific machine preferences.The variety pack itself is a coffee lover's delight, offering a diverse range of flavors and intensities to suit different preferences. From bold and robust to smooth and balanced, there's something for every palate in this thoughtfully curated collection.

I use these in my L’OR machine and they make superior iced coffee. I just had one as an espresso with no sugar or milk- just plain. It was very good and smooth. Not harsh or bitter at all. I really like this one!

These Nespresso Original line coffee capsules made of aluminum work well in my Pixie. The coffee was good to OK for my taste. I'm trying to find medium and dark roast coffee to replace the Italian roast blend I used to buy from Nespresso. This was OK but wasn't it.

and price was excellent, with somany varieties out there is difficult to rank it properly, PRICE WAS THE DECIDER!

I’m a big fan of these Nespresso pods and have reordered them a few times.I typically have two pods every morning with a splash of half and half.I am by no means a coffee snob, but I do appreciate a nice, fresh cup of espresso. I don’t detect any strange taste or bitterness with this brand. I think it has a lovely aroma, and I think it’s a great value. I have not had any issues with the performance of the pods in my machine (I have an instant pot brand coffee maker that accepts both k-cups AND these Nespresso pods). I am sensitive to highly acidic coffee, and this brand has never left me with an upset stomach, nausea, or heartburn.
