Gourmesso 50 Cookie Flavored Espresso Pods | Int.5 | Proudly Fairtrade | Compatible with Nespresso Original Capsule Machines | Cookie | Medium Roast

For anyone that owns a Nespresso Coffee maker they can agree on the fact that purchasing the pods can be very pricey especially if you use the Nespresso as your day to day coffee maker. Some luxury items are over priced in which you as the consumer can find a replacement for a cheaper/better quality item. When it comes to your Nespresso products I feel that it is truly best to avoid purchasing substitute goods because1. The quality of this specific product in short tastes like poop. The taste is so awful that I can't put my self to drink it even though I spent $50 on it.2. These pods WILL dirty your machine at a MUCH faster rate. If you own a Nespresso maker then you know how you need to maintain the quality of the machine over time. These pods are not packed as tightly as the name brand which in turn allows the particles to get caught in the machine3. Advice: spend your money on the premium name brand product as I have yet to come across a substitute Nespresso product as of 12/10/2018

I ordered another company's "knock off" Nespresso pods (Bestpresso) and they had plastic sides- not one of them worked! So I was intrigued to see if these would even work- they did!So far have not had a problem with the function of these pods, but the flavor is another story...Tried the multi flavored pack and not one of them is as smooth as a true Nespresso- I can sometimes take a true Nespresso without sugar or cream and it is delicious- these pods; no way. They are a great economic alternative to Nespresso but all the blends are very bitter!Caramel - best of the bunch but roughChocolate- bitter with some dark chocolate aftertasteHazelnut- very strong odor of hazelnut - almost chemical flavor but still bitter coffee.Coconut- mild scent of coconut but strong coffee overpowersVanilla- worst of the bunch - literally could not add enough sugar and dumped it after tasting.If you're looking for a cheap alternative or something to mix into drinks or add cream and sugar these would do, but not near the Nespresso quality or flavor.

I like it - the flavors are all generally okay, and they come through pretty well into the espresso. The price at $.50/pod is great, but the quality of the pod is questionable. At first glance, you will notice these pods have plastic bodies, unlike the aluminum body of the Nespresso pods. We had ordered these for a house party where I was thinking I was going to make espresso for some of the attendees. And we did, I made about 10 cups in an hour, however, 2 of the 10 didn't penetrate in the Nespresso machine. What happens when it doesn't penetrate is odd, because nothing comes out of the spout, but the next cup will do double duty (it must build up somewhere?) through the pod, so unless you know you had a misfire - you end up ruining another pod figuring it out. So, all said, two misfired, but I lost three cups in the process.Even with the loss of three pods, the cost of these pods versus the official Nespresso makes this purchase a no-brainer. I just kind of wish that there was an easier way to tell if you had a "dud" pod, as it would save some aggravation if you're not paying enough attention.

This is the first time I have purchased off-brand coffee pods for my Nespresso machine. I wanted to save some money so I went for it thinking the coffee might not be great but at least my wallet would thank me. The pods arrived very quickly. I purchased the flavor pack which comes with Vanilla, Chocolate, Coconut, Hazelnut and Caramel pods. Well my friends, to my surprise I think I like these even more than the Nespresso pods! You can tell that they are a little less quality coffee in terms of richness, but the flavor of the vanilla/hazelnut etc. comes through much more than the Nespresso version. The packaging of the pods also is not as pretty as Nespresso pods. (All the pods are black regardless of flavor. The top of the pod says the flavor.) If you love sweeter/flavored coffees that are a lighter-medium roast, you'll love these! If you are a passionate, coffee-aficionado who likes their coffee black and rich this may not be for you. Personally, I'm a big fan and will definitely reorder! Thank you!

Arrived overnight even though it was a 2 day shipping! The fit for my Nespresso Citiz is a bit challenging. Dropped the pod in the disposing container a couple of times and once coffee dripped in the disposing container as it was pouring in the cup as well, but after several days of using it, I figured it out without anymore mishaps.Having said that, once you succeed in getting it to work right, it is just delicious! I love the hazelnut and coconut flavors the most. These two flavored coffee Taste like roasted coffee plus rotated hazelnut or roasted coconut together rather than artificial hazelnut or coconut flavors that I have always noted in other gourmet coffees. I already ordered 50 of each!Of note, I don't like dark roasted coffee, so if you do, be mindful that these are medium roast only with a mild and none acidic/bitter taste. The flavors come out more after adding a bit of hot milk.The other 3 flavors are not to my liking. Quite frankly I cannot taste the flavors...The additional hazelnut and coconut flavored coffee pods arrived this week. The hazelnut flavored pods came without the original labels on the pods, just plain aluminum foils (?) And the coconut ones came with pods labeled as Colombia decaf with a weaker flavor and more vanilla taste than coconut! I contacted the company and they replied back that they were 100% sure that the pods contained the right coffee, and still offered to replace them if I wanted to, which I decided not to since I had already started using them. I hope they make the appropriate modification to prevent these batch to batch variations in future. Otherwise they would lose customers in such competitive market...

I'm confused. A few of you are referring to these not tasting like chocolate? They wouldn't as they are almond flavored and taste great. I usually drink them as a single espresso, no milk - the short option. But now I'm drinking it with some hot hazelnut milk added. Delicious! Great taste and texture and Fair Trade. I'll buy again!

A lovely smooth coffee with a delicate Chocolate scent and flavour.Great to drink black or with milk.

Coffee ok but not as good as nespresso

Tried the variety selection from Gourmesso and this was by far the favourite, in fact one of my friends always asks for this coffee. So being able to buy a whole load of them is fantastic.

Not a great taste at all.
