Lavazza Espresso Capsules Compatible with Nespresso Original Machines Variety Pack, 10 Count (Pack of 6)

The media could not be loaded. LavAzza makes a quality product! According to the labels on the box this shipment came directly from LavAzza distribution to Amazon to me, - Which I like, no other parties involved.The pods were packed well in good packaging, so the pods were in good condition when they arrived. I have had issues in the past with other brands arriving all banged up, but this shipment arrived in good condition.My order arrived a day late even though I have prime, but that’s OK, it’s still got here fairly quickly.The taste of the coffee is very good, which is what I would expect from LavAzza. Personally I prefer the darker blend capsules, with my favorite being Armonico. Other customers must feel the same, because Armonico is the one pod that you get two boxes of instead of one. The decaf pods are good too, though they’re not as dark or rich as the other two types of espresso pods. The two types of Lungo pods are good too, though again they are lighter blends and not as rich as the espresso pods.I also like that the name of the coffe type is printed on the foil of each pod, should you keep your pods in something other than their original box.The negatives to buying this brand are minimal, but they include the following:- The pods are constructed of plastic rather than aluminum (Nespresso, Pete’s, and Starbucks use aluminum to construct a higher quality Nespresso-compatible pod.)- Foil is used for the top and bottom of the pod, which is less durable then the hard plastic or aluminum used buy some other brands.- The pods are of a non-standard shape and design (Meaning: With ridged walls and other slight differences they look a little different than the standard Nespresso pod design) - However.. I have not had any issue at all with the LavAzza pods fitting in any of my official Nespresso machines.Overall I think these LavAzza pods are an excellent value for the quality you get. I have purchased them before, and I will buy them again. Despite some very minor drawbacks I still give these pods five out of five stars. I just wish they would start constructing their pods out of aluminum and instead of plastic.

Number 7 is my fav so far but no12 really wakes me up in the morning. I pour milk and sugar in the cup as the machine pours down the coffee and I’m left with very foamy and delicious coffee that smells amazing.

The Lavazza is good coffee but it does not work well with the Nespresso machines. Part of the capsule collapses in the machine resulting in a less robust experience. It is much less expensive than the Nespresso coffees and that helps to offset the collapsing of the capsules.

We order Lavassa coffee all the time. The pods work great in our Nespresso machine.

It’s true Italian espresso that has sold flavor and gets the job done. GOOD MORNING, MORNING!!! Flavor profile are consistent with espresso; smooth, nutty, smokey with some notes of caramel, and a slightly floral nose. That’s what I would say if I knew anything about the flavor profiles of coffee. Alas, espresso is purely utilitarian for me; four shots at a time with a long shot of hot water and some heavy cream. No sugar please.We’ve been enthusiastic Nespresso fans for many years, and for many of these years we ordered hundreds of pods at a time in order to qualify for free shipping and next-day delivery. It was a great set-up. Then one day Nespresso opened up free shipping to everyone, with much lower order limits, and it became anyone’s guess when our coffee would actually arrive. Not cool.We were introduced to Nespresso while living abroad, and simultaneously thoroughly enjoying the Lavazza cafes. We were ecstatic to see Lavazza Nespresso pods show up on our local grocer’s shelves, and for slightly less than the Nespresso pods. We bought a box, and did not regret it. Here on Amazon the price is right, and I enjoy these pods alongside Nespresso pods and Peet’s Coffee Nespresso pods.These are plastic pods with an aluminum foil top. They deliver consistent shots, and consistent flavor. Similar pods from Amazon, Trader Joe’s, and myriad other knock-off pod makers struggle with consistent streams through the pod. Some blow out, some send clear water around the shot - if you’ve tried them you know what I’m talking about. It’s frustrating to spend that money and have the pods fail. These are quality pods that deliver a quality product.Now for my credibility. Some of you guys can weave poetry with your connoisseurs lexicon of espresso appreciation. That’s not something I care about. This is not artisan espresso from a fancy panaderia or high end cafe. I don’t know whether or not it is in that arena. For me the flavor is great, the consistency is there, and the price is almost perfect.

For now, I have tried only 2 of the flavors included in the set. The taste of the coffee is better compared to other Nespresso pods I've had. However, some pods shrink/compress too much that little to no coffee/water comes out when brewing. Attached is a photo comparing the 2 Lavazza pod (blacks) and a Nespresso pod. With some shrinkage/compression on the pod on the left, I was able to get some coffee. However, the middle pod shrank a lot and became too compressed, maybe that is why no coffee was dispensed. So, I tried the other pods of the same flavors and the same thing happened. Too bad, I had to waste a few pods. With both of them, you can hear a different sound from the machine while it was functioning.With the original Nespresso pod, there was no deformation on the pod and the flow of the water/coffee was smooth. I think it might be the material of the Lavazza pod. Hopefully, they can fix this coz their coffee is good.

Best value for nespresso pods.
