Nespresso Compatible Capsules Bold Intensity Variety Pack, Gourmet Coffee Selection of 5 (10 Count) Boxes from the Finest Roasters around the world for the Nespresso Original Line Machines, 50 Count

I've tried lots of Nespresso compatible capsules in an attempt to find a good, reliable, cheaper alternative. A risk with 'compatible' capsules is that the plastic pod structure is not strong enough to hold up to a Nespresso machine. Sadly that was the case with this sampler pack. I had two main issues with my Nespresso Romeo: (1) The machine would occasionally fail to puncture the plastic at the top at all (1/5 times) (2) The foil at the bottom of the pod would separate from the plastic (3/5 times)The Caffitaly Desico capsules worked the best of the various brands, followed by Indie Beans Guru. The Cafe Alloro Tondo and Barrie House Sumatra capsules were disappointing. The Cafe Bonini Ritretto were the worst: I gave up.With 'compatible' pods I expect at least a 20% failure rate, normally the foil separation issue. This was more like 80%, which is too bad because when they worked the coffee was actually pretty good. Overall though, I suggest you save your money on this one.

I've been buying Nespresso compatible capsules online for almost a year, and it has been hit or miss. These taste pretty good. Not quite as good as the Nespresso brand, but still tasty. I like that you don't smell any of the coffee when you I open each box, so they are well sealed. They fit easily into my machine. I also love the idea of sampling one type of coffee from different companies rather than getting a bunch of varieties from a single company. I prefer the bold flavor, so this was perfect for me. My favorites in this sampler are the three Italian brands. And the price on subscribe and save is great too!

I’ve tried many different compatible pods and the variety packs in this product are some of the tastiest - but the way they perform in my machine I thought something was wrong with my machine and was going to need to buy a new one!Sometimes they deliver the correct amount of flavorful coffee in my cup, but many times the coffee ends up in the bottom overflow tray. After reading other reviews I now believe the problems lie in the poor quality of these pods and not my machine.

I have bought a number of different Nespresso compatible pods for my employees.I was just informed that your brand is their favorite so this is the only one I’ll be buying from now on!

Ran out of pods last week I was kinda in the dumps until I received my pods they are delicious I have to admit I am hooked to expresso. These pods are a great low cost alternative to nepresso pods. Great flavor great variety I love them!

I'm so disappointed these were a gift and they didn't work in the machine. Amazon should stop selling them as compatible if so many reviews have found them not to work.

Awesome coffee!! All capsules taste great and it fits into my nesspresso machine. Great sub for the more expensive capsules

I like my coffee and espresso bold. This variety sampler is great!
