Review: Quality and taste - Very happy with this product good quality and taste and price and would recommend to everyone
Review: One of the best - Dolce Gusto Espresso Ristretto Ardenza Coffee Pods - total of 48 - I use espresso pods for all sorts, not just short espresso... top it up and hey presto you got a great strong tasting americano, add to frothy hot milk and you got a great latte macchiato, to be honest the list is endless as this one is very versatile. I love the deep flavour of this, and somehow they've managed to create a pod with that restricted flow that brings out the flavour even more and adds a superb crema to the top. Definitely one of the best pods that dolce gusto do in my opinion. You can use any of the espresso pods in various home brew recipes of course, it's what your baristas do in the coffee shops anyway, but this ardenza coffee gives that lovely strong punch. Love it!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is it strong?**
A: Yes, it is very strong.  At the moment it has the strongest coffee rating of all of Dolce Gusto; this being 11, as shown on the box.  It is intended to be a tiny coffee but I find it strong enough when I make is espresso size.  Enjoy!

**Q: can I use it for Nespresso Lattissima machine?**
A: Sadly, you can't. The capsules are bigger and won't fit your Nespresso. Sorry.

**Q: Can I mix and match the barista and ardenza, as I don’t want 3 packs of the same ? Thanks**
A: I think it comes as a 3 pack of the same

**Q: what kind of pods are used on the dolce gusto coffee maker machine? can i use jacobs coffe and illy and lavazza ? where do i see that pod type please?**
A: Pods can be seen on Dolce Gusto web site.  You may find Dolce Gusto type pods in supermarkets, I am not sure. Regarding the other 2 brands of coffee I do not know.
