New Cap'Mundo Paris 50 Pods for Nespresso Original Line Machines – Dark Roast – French Artisanal Espresso (Ebene, 50 Capsules)

These pods have been great. They taste good and more importantly, for me atleast, they are a non-name brand that work with my machine! Let me explain. Name brand Nespresso pods are sealed aluminum pods, with a metal foil on the front, and the needles puncture through the metal in pre-stressed spots. Most non-name brand pods, are made of plastic with a foil front, and the needles need to puncture through the plastic. Not alot of brands have plastic that always easily puncture, (there are very good ones though.These pods are designed in a way, that nearly garentees the pod to work. The main 'body' is made of plastic, and the front and back, are both made using a metal foil. This allows the needles to almost always puncture correctly and brew a cup of coffee. I felt the need to stress this because I love the idea.Overall, these have been very good. They are a good price, 20 for 30 (at the time is writing this) The coffee seems to be high quality, It has good flavor, aroma, and crema. I'm happy!

I love Nespresso. Keurig doesn’t come anywhere close to Nespresso. I love the smell while brewing and the taste is bar none. The original capsules are not terribly expensive, but I’ve been trying compatible capsules made by a third party whenever I get the chance. This is one of the better one I’ve had thus far. First and foremost, I like the design of his capsule. The top foil has nice puncture holes like the original capsules. But what I really like is the back/bottom of the capsule. It has a foil as the picture shows and it allows for the machine to puncture very easily. Other capsules I’ve tried are made with all plastic and it usually produces plastic smell/taste. Sometimes it’s so brittle that it won’t puncture at all and cracks the capsule, creating quite a mess. Taste is also quite good. However, I don’t think i will ever find one that will surpass the actual Nespresso in taste, consistency, and the nice crema it creates. I may be just biased in the taste factor though. I know there are third party capsules that are really good and I’m sure they are. But, those are pretty expensive and to me that defeats the purpose of buying these compatible capsules. If they cost about the same as the Nespresso capsules, I would just buy the Nespresso.

i had hoped to save some money on my nespresso coffee habit, but these pods are lame. the coffee is much weaker, not nearly as rich as nespresso pods. i can make a good, strong, full cup of coffee from a nespresso lungo pod (1 long, 2 short presses), but i can only fill the cup halfway (1 long press) on one of these before the coffee is just too weak. also, the water does not flow easily through these--it drips s-l-o-w-l-y, completely taking the espress out of espresso (or lungo). perhaps the espresso varieties are better, but i do not recommend the lungo capsules.

The coffee was very good and the customer service was fantastic but the pods didn’t fit my original line Creatista right. Every time I tried to make a shot of espresso I had to wiggle the capsule around to get it to close right. I also had to use a lot of force which can’t be good for the machine. I really wanted to like this product but the capsules just aren’t very compatible.

These are a winner. I've tried other 3rd party capsules before, and none were as good as the authentic Nespresso ones. These are not as good either - they are BETTER.The capsule construction is excellent - they work 100% of the time. They have a heartier, more durable feel than the genuine Nespresso. Even the genuine ones occasionally fail, maybe 5%. With 50+ cups made with these, I've not had one failure.I've tried the dark roast sampler. All are good, but I most like the Dark Ebene. I will order only that in the future. Produces as much crema and deeper taste than the Ristretto capsules I had been using.Ordering with Subscribe and Save discount, the price works out to 0.51/capsule. The Nespresso Ristretto is 0.77 per capsule. That's a 34% savings, and the quality is superior.The capsules are bio-degradable, and the coffee is Fair Trade!

I read read reviews and figured I'd try these. A huge mistake.First off the water doesn't move thru the pod efficiently. It struggles to get thru and makes the process very very slow.Second the coffee is less than. It's thinner and it also picks up the sugar more than other brands so use less and try before you add sugar. If you use spends or something in that ball park it picks up the artificial sweetner more so than other pod wannabe's.I'd skip this brand.

Great taste. I just returned from Paris and loved the coffee. I was hoping to find the same thing here, but found this instead. I love that they are compostable and they taste really great. Much better than my nespresso brand. I am sold - and less expensive to boot.

We have enjoyed this coffee. It has a very rich flavor -- I would equate it to the quality/taste of the Nespresso "Roma" black capsule. Same intensity, same crema, etc. But it seems to leave a bit more grounds in our Nespresso unit than the Nespresso brand capsules. I don't like that, and we're trying to figure out why that happens. But overall, I'd buy again and they get my vote for a high quality cup of Joe.

Una valida alternativa alle capsule Nespresso

Très bon café, avec une bonne longueur. Convient pour ceux qui aiment les cafés Arabica forts, type ristretto à l'italienne.

Un plaisir chaque jour renouvelé.
