Caffè Borbone Respresso Espresso 100 Capsules - Miscela Oro (Gold) - Compatible with Nespresso® Original Line Machines

Truly a great cup of espresso from a machine. This coffee makes a really smooth and flavorful cup of espresso. Flavorful chocolate flavor with a sweet aroma and smooth mouth feel. Overall a really nice cup of espresso with a mid level intensity with no bitterness. Nicely priced for a coffee straight from Naples Italy. I also appreciate the individual wrapping and do not mind them being in a plastic pod instead of aluminum. When I'm not using my regular espresso machine, this is my go to "ready to make" pod do to how easy, fast and flavorful it is.

Great tasting espresso, delivery always on point . And excellent pricing

Black blend Espresso/Ristretto It was good but not quite as good as the original Nespresso black Espresso/Ristretto blends. It’s perfect for café au lait! Great value for the price, I will buy more. The nitrogen sealed pods are difficult to store if you don’t have a lot of space available. Strength excellent. Taste, just a bit of bitterness but I realize that this is a personal taste and wouldn’t bother most espresso fans.

Great flavor- genuine Italian espresso experience. Some capsules are too tightly compacted and have to be shut down so they don' t damage the machine.

Perfect for an affordable morning cappuccino

First had this in Florence, Italy and fell in love. Immediately bought the Nespresso machine and a box of these on return and have been restocking ever since.

This coffee is outstanding, first had this in Italy and just bought it upon return from the trip!

I have the same experience as others where the pod design doesn't allow for proper water flow, thus it takes a long time to "brew" a cup. It seems to me that if a pod is specifically designed for the Nespresso machine, the pod should be identical to a Nespresso pod. It's not only annoying having to wait so long for a cup, the pod design also has "holes" in the bottom that allow for the coffee aroma to escape (Note: these pods are individually wrapped, which helps keep in freshness; however, the fact remains that this pod design is flawed.). The coffee is good enough, and priced right, that I'll order again, but it would be nice if the manufacturer listened to people's reviews/feedback and changed the design to fix this flaw. Honestly, I saw the reviews noting this design flaw and thought it wouldn't bother me having to wait a bit longer for a cup - but, it's not just the wait, it's also not producing enough water flow to sufficiently "brew" the cup. There are several reviews with photos that clearly show these pods next to a Nespresso pod where you can see the difference in the design. UPDATE: I've figured out why these pods "dribble" water out. It's because the pod design doesn't allow for the pod to be punctured like a typical Nespresso pod. Instead, the pod comes with holes for water to flow through that are much smaller than the holes the Nespresso machine creates when it punctures a Nespresso pod. Please modify this pod design - seems easy enough to me. Also, as originally mentioned, these holes don't keep the coffee as fresh as it would be if completely sealed.
