Barista Italiano 80 Dolce Gusto Compatible Pods (CAPPUCCINO, 80 Capsules, 40 Servings, coffee variety + milk)

Really lovely coffee & works fine with our Dolce Gusto machine

Ordered these with it saying cappuccino pods but only got a variety of coffee, no cappuccino pods in. Very disappointed

Although these are advertised as compatible with Dolce Gusto machines, the pods do not always work properly, often causing the machine to sound as if it's overloaded, struggling to force the water through the pods, which then often leak from the top. I have three different types of Dolce Gusto machines and this happens on all, so it's not a fault with the machines, which work fine with original branded pods. So I won't be ordering these again, since long term use may damage the machines, which is a shame as despite being cheaper I actually preferred the taste on the few pods that worked OK.++ UPDATE ++ 29th July 2017 now upgraded to FIVE STARFollowing my 2 star review above, I was contacted by the manufacturer of these pods, who expressed concern about the problems and advised that they had redesigned the manufacture with a change of internal membrane, had tested hundreds of pods themselves, but would like to send me 80 replacement pods free of charge for me to test and give honest feedback.Having now run a number of pods of each type through two of my Dolce Gusto machines, I am pleased to confirm that the new design works fine, with no leakage. Having had a chance to taste the coffee properly, I am very pleased that these now work as the selection of different coffee blends allows me to enjoy different flavours, whether as espresso or cafe latte, according to my mood or time of day. So I hope this product becomes available to order again soon, particularly if it remains competitively priced against the branded Dolce Gusto pods from Nescafe, which keep increasing in price.The true test of a supplier is how they respond to customers when things go wrong; because of their caring response to this situation I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Not quite as strong as expected but acceptable

Leaked everywhere

Really happy with these coffee pods, they work perfectly fine in my Dulce Gusto machine

I haven't tasted all the different types of espresso, but I can say that the napoletano, ristretto and Piazza di Spagna are very good. I have also had the cappuccino which is again good.

Not working badly required badly
