Peet's CoffeeMedium Roast Espresso Capsules, Compatible with Nespresso Original Machine - Ricchezza Intensity 8, 50 Count (5 Boxes of 10 Espresso Capsules)

In this world with its plethora of lattes and mochas and flavorings, when you want a cup of just coffee. Smooth, delicious, reliable coffee without the frills and fluff, this is it. This is the one that I think Foldgers wishes it could taste like. When I think of non-bitter, non-burnt, old school coffee, this is the one that I buy over and over again. Don't hesitate to try it, you won't go back!

I came back to this one after trying to save a little more by ordering the Solimo nespresso pods, but the quality just doesn't do it compared to these ones. And I'm already saving money by making my own cup of latte at home anyway. Price has gone up but these do get a bit of a discount once in a while so they're still worth it for now.

There isn't a tastier coffee on this planet. I have tried hundreds of pods. These are, and most likely always will be, my favorite. The flavor is perfect. The texture of the coffee is perfect. They give just the right amount of foam and the flavor is so smooth and delicious. You won't regret this purchase for sure.

Peet's now offers very sleek aluminum capsules for Original Line Nespresso machines which are manufactured by JDE (Jacobs Douwe Egberts) and contain nonspecific Arabica coffee that was roasted in France. Each box was made of mixed board from responsible sources, and the packages are distrbuted by Peet's in Berkeley. The capsules look really good, perhaps even more visually enticing than Nespresso's own capsules. They weigh in at 7 grams each before brewing, just like my Nespresso capsules and I've had no problem running these through any of my Nespresso machines. I've heard of people becoming excited when they open a box containing coffee capsules for Nespresso machines and smell the contents. I don't want to smell the coffee because I want it to be sealed within the capsules where they will remain fresher and likely will produce more crema. These are indeed hermetically sealed and there is no coffee aroma until the capsule is punctured and the hot water releases the coffee liquid into the cup. The flavor profile of the Crema Scura which is rated as a number 9 is not like the Arpeggio or Envivo Lungo, the Nespresso number nines. It tastes like Peet's espresso coffee, a flavor that brought me back to my days in San Francisco, when I would drive to Berkeley to purchase a bag of coffee that was roasted in house. I would enjoy a cup of fresh brewed coffee for free with purchase of a pound of beans, something unheard of at that time. When I tasted Peet's Aged Sumatra, I savored the longlasting after taste that lingered long after the coffee cup was emptied. When I moved from the Bay Area, I ordered my Peet's coffee from California or had people put a bag or three in their suitcase when they came to visit. My own suitcase always smelled of Peet's coffee because I was charged with bringing it back East for the friends who had tasted it in my home. Now, it's available in grocery stores, big box stores and restaurants, just like Starbucks products and a gazillion other coffees. Just check out the Jacobs Douwe Egberts list of products to see a few that I'm sure you'll recognize. The price of these capsules is two cents more than Nespresso Arpeggio or Ristretto but three cents less than the Darkan or Kazar which are my personal favorites. They have a distinct flavor which some may consider "burnt," but I call a full mouth earthy flavor. I will supplement my usual purchases from the Nespresso Boutique or mail order with these, knowing that I can enjoy a nostalgic cup of Peet's coffee from my Nespresso machines, but they will not take the place of my Nespresso coffees. Being that they are aluminum, I suspect that Nespresso will be able to accept these for recycling. If not, I'll wait to purchase more Peet's capsules until I can take them into my local Peet's stores for recycling.I just added a photo of the capsule brewed as a Lungo in my Inissia.

These Nespresso compatible capsules are always consistent - consistently quality, functional capsules and flavor. I’ve used these capsules for many years. The price has gone up a lot over the last 2 years and I’m considering going back to the brand capsules as there is not as much of a variety with Pete’s as the Nespresso brand capsules. I would really like to see an organic or single origin blend for the current prices.

I might of had better pods, but none come to mind.These not only taste great, they actually work perfectly.

Great medium to dark roast flavor. Love them in hot or iced lattes. No burnt or acidic taste.

I love it, more cheap than Wholefoods
