Nespresso is Bestpresso

Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2016

I tried to quit you, Nespresso. I tried cheaper alternatives, I really did. I told myself you were too expensive for me. But your own capsules are what made me buy a nespresso machine in the first place, and it turns out that nothing else comes close.

You're too smooth, too rich, too perfect for me to give up.

I just can't quit you. I'm done trying out every other brand on the market. From now on, it's just you and me.

DO NOT BUY THESE! LISTEN TO ALL OF THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS!

Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2018

I should have listened to the other negative reviews! 3 of the 6 Nespresso boxes showed up smashed when the amazon box it was packaged in looked brand new. About half the pods are useless in the smashed boxes. Tried several with even 'smaller' dents and the Nespresso Machine will not work properly. LISTEN TO EVERYONE AND DO NOT BUY THESE!

They're Simply the Best Capsules for the Nespresso Machines - Just Buy Them Already

Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2018

Style: Capsules OriginalLineVerified Purchase

I tried to buy the cheaper knock-off capsules but I couldn't bring myself to do it. After reading 7984619203984 reviews on the "other" capsule products I bit the bullet and bought the real deal for my Nespresso Inissia Espresso Machine...

WORTH IT.

These Capsules are really all they're cracked up to be. I also have the milk frother... I usually make a capsule, and froth some milk and italian sweet cream flavored creamer and viola! As good as a $5 latte at the fancy local coffee shop for 1/4 the price. I REALLY can't complain about the cost of these babies when I would happily pay nearly $3 for a McDonald's latte which isn't nearly as good.

I think my favorite flavors thus far are Cappricio, Roma, and Arpeggio

If you want THE best taste from your Nespresso machine, these are a MUST!!!

Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2018

Style: Capsules OriginalLineVerified Purchase

Can't believe the difference in taste between these OEM capsules & 3rd party capsules. As many other reviewers have noted, the 3rd party capsules (and I've tried 5 different 3rd party brands now) are weak in taste & flavor. I have the DeLonghi Lattissima Pro machine & with an OEM Nespresso ristretto capsule, the latte & cappuccino are just magnificent. With the 3rd party capsules, they're both mediocre...at best.

PROS: The best flavors & taste. Wide choice of coffee types.

CONS: VERY expensive compared to other types/brands of capsules or pods.

Good Representation, Decide What's Right for You

Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2015

Style: Capsules OriginalLineVerified Purchase

I just bought my Nespresso Inissia online, and I wanted to make sure I had some capsules ready for when my Inissia arrived. This review is intended for new owners that are looking for a variety of Nespresso capsules. At the time of this posting, I've had my Inissia for 36 hours.
I went with five stars to offset a lot of the older posts that attack the other listings based on value. Yes, you can most likely getmore bang from your buck if you make a large purchase from the Nespresso site, but sometimes that's not the best choice for the individual. I want this review to give you a breakdown of the flavors you get, and let you judge if it is the right purchase for you.

First off, I wanted to point out that the Inissia comes bundled with a variety pack of 14 capsules. It's a pretty good variety from their various offerings. There is one vanilla, one decaf, and the other 12 cover a range of their Grand Cru capsules. Intenso, Espresso, Pure Origin, Lungo, Decaffeinato, and Variations (flavored) are all represented. Honestly, if I had to do it over again, I would have sampled the various offerings, and then made a large purchase directly from Nespresso. However, I know that may not be the right option for everyone, so read on if you want a breakdown of the five flavors represented

The five capsules offered in this five pack are listed below. Descriptions are taken from the Nespresso site:

CAPRICCIO (from the Espresso line)
Intensity: 5
RICH AND DISTINCTIVE:
Blending South American Arabicas with a touch of Robusta, Capriccio is an espresso with a rich aroma and a strong typical cereal note.
Origin
The presence of South American Arabicas grown at high altitude gives this blend a light acidity, which is balanced with the perfect amount of Brazilian Arabica and a touch of Robusta.
Roasting
The light roasting of this blend creates a rich character and preserves a light acidity.
Aromatic Profile
A typical cereal note balanced with a light acidity.

ARPEGGIO (from the Intenso line)
Intensity: 9
INTENSE AND CREAMY:
A dark roast of pure South and Central American Arabicas,Arpeggio has a strong character and intense body, enhanced by cocoa notes.
Origin
A selection of the best South and Central American Arabicas, with fruity or malted profiles, characteristic of Costa Rican coffees.
Roasting
Arpeggio is roasted intensely to bring out the characteristics of each origin. Its full body develops from the fine grinding of the beans.
Aromatic Profile
Intense, grilled notes alongside subtle cocoa notes and woody hints.

LIVANTO (from the Espresso line)
Intensity: 6
ROUND AND BALANCED:
A blend of pure Arabica from South and Central America,Livanto is a well-balanced espresso characterized by a roasted caramelized note.
Origin
This blend is composed of the most prestigious Central and South American Arabicas, found in Costa Rica and Colombia and is cultivated according to traditional methods to preserve their malted and fruity profiles.
Roasting
A medium roasting, accentuates malted notes, whilst fruity notes evolve to create a complex and delicate caramelized bouquet.
Aromatic Profile
A round and balanced profile, typical of freshly roasted coffee results in a combination of cereal, malted and caramelized notes as well as fine fruity notes.

ROMA (from the Intenso line)
Intensity: 8
FULL AND BALANCED:
The balance of lightly roasted South and Central American Arabicas with Robusta, gives Roma sweet and woody notes and a full, lasting taste on the palate.
Origin
Cultivated at high altitude, the Central American Arabicas bring finesse, whilst the Brazilian Arabicas and Robustas provide body and a lingering taste on the palate.
Roasting
Light roasting and fine grinding bring finesse to the blend and create a short espresso, which is not too strong.
Aromatic Profile
Roasted and woody notes are revealed through the light roasting of intensely flavoured beans from different origins.

RISTRETTO (from the Intenso line)
Intensity: 10
POWERFUL AND CONTRASTING:
A blend of South American and East African Arabicas, with a touch of Robusta, roasted separately to create the subtle fruity note of this full-bodied, intense espresso.
Origin
Composed of some of the best South American Arabicas from sources such as Colombia and Brazil, Ristretto also contains the great, lightly acidic East African Arabicas and a touch of Robusta for added zing.
Roasting
The beans are roasted slowly and separately to obtain an original bouquet bringing together acidic, fruity, and roasted notes. Its finely ground texture creates an Italian-style coffee: intense, with a rich flavour and full body.
Aromatic Profile
Strong roasted notes softened by notes of chocolate. A subtle contrast between strength and bitterness, acidic and fruity notes.

Conclusion
This is a pretty good variety pack if you want a fairly standard selection. You're not going to get outliers like Lungo, Decaffeinato, Variations, or the Pure Origin series. If you want to buy in bulk, then buying here may not be the most cost effective option. However, if you want to try five different Espressos that are all good and fairly standard, this is a pretty good representation if the math works out. By all means, shop around and find the best bargain, but this is a good representation.

DENTED AND DAMAGED PODS

Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2018

Style: Capsules OriginalLineVerified Purchase

I've messaged the company asking for a replacement. Waiting to hear back. For those who own a Nespresso, you know how the machine does not accept damaged pods. It jams the machine.
13 pods out of 50 were mostly undamaged. The remaining pods were damaged in some degree from dented, collapsed sides, to dented tops. 37 pods are damaged in a way that makes me unsure if they will work.
That is unacceptable. If a few were damaged, fine, but this is absurd. I want this to be made right, and i will update my review.

EDIT: the company promptly responded and replaced the damaged pods. A few of the pods came dented, but nothing like the initial shipment, and I'm pleased to have usable pods.

Nespresso hit one outta the park. This variety pack provides a solid offering to put your taste buds in the espresso zone.
Ok, some people have crushed unit issues...I have never had 1 issue.
Even if I did, the product is to good to let a shipper pull down a superior product.
I am not a drip coffee drone guy, I want top quality taste and fantastic aroma which is delivered. I cant say enough about this product from the packets, to the machine, the milk fother and EASY cleanup. I have an Italian wonder in my kitchen and people think Im a top tier espresso maker...its all Nespresso in reality...but....shhhhh...Ill take credit.

Buy this!

Nespresso Variety Pack for OriginalLine, 50.

Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2017

Style: Capsules OriginalLineVerified Purchase

Better than other non Nespresso capsules. Quite pricey if you need 4-5 a day like me. The best to get top tasting and low pricing is to buy the empty capsules, grind your coffee and use them fresh. This what I've doing for the last few months. I use Jamaica blue mountain coffee beans which gives me the ultimate espresso shots at 15 cents each.

Great coffee as usual.

Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2016

This coffee is the best in so many ways. Delivery was a little on the iffy side but as it turns out a neighbor picked it up because they knew that no one was home. They brought it over and now the coffee is being enjoyed. Sorry about that earlier review on the delivery problem. Everything is A OK now. Will buy again.

Nespresso Capsules are the BEST Quality

Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2017

Style: Capsules OriginalLineVerified Purchase

This is the best deal for Nespresso Capsules! Other off-brands just don't measure up. I didn't buy a Nespresso to skimp on the quality of coffee I drink. That's why I bought one to begin with. This pack comes with a variety of capsules for your every need whether for a straight cup of espresso or with frothed milk for your favorite latte. I do t recommend any other capsules but these!!!!

Sapphire Harm

Product itself is great, capsules are damaged but not noticeable negatively impacting taste.

Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2019

Style: Capsules OriginalLineVerified Purchase

Received the package in good condition. Unfortunatly upon opening the individual packs the capsules were dented. We’re surprised that everyone of the capsules were dented in one way or another? So strange considering the shipping box was not damaged nor the individual packaged boxes the capsules were damaged. Looks like the capsules were damaged prior to packaging? Not sure if they are “quality control” inspected at their factory or not? So far the capsules I have used did not seem to be negatively impacted by the damages? Espresso is consistent with the variety pack that came with my Nespresso machine. Will update if I find a noticeable difference?
