Great tasting, they fit my machine with no issues, I like having the variety.
I like having a variety of strength and flavor so I don’t get tired of the same coffee/espresso every day.
This is a good value, price and variety. The flavor is good, the strong ones are strong and those are my favorite. My husband likes the milder strengths, so having some of each is great. I also tried the decaf, which I usually never buy, and I really liked it too. The taste and strength of the decaf was acceptable also, so, I can have a cup in the evening if I want now too. Overall, great value and variety and taste. 5 stars.
Nice compact desk. Sturdy, well made and easy to put together. –
Espresso pods.
Well built, great packaging, tight seal on the pods. Full bodied Cafe at a great price.

The best pods on the market
These are consistently the tastiest pods I can find! Iâm always hesitant to buy anything decaf, however itâs such a good deal for the variety pack. What I do, is I make a big cup of espresso coffee with one pod of any of the high-caff pods and one of the decaf pods. Still tastes fantastic, larger volume to last longer, and uses the decaf pods without wasting them!

It does work fine on Nespresso machine. Taste is good. Great value
I read a number of negative reviews about Lavazza’s nespresso capsules.
The two main issue are about the burned taste of the coffee and that the capsule doesn’t work well when dispensing.
For me, when using the Nespresso Creatista Plus machine:
1. Dispensing and using the capsule is just the same as the original capsules. I have no issue with dispensing and all capsules arrived perfective with no deformation. Also note that some reviewers used non-Nespresso branded machine which adds more variations to the compatibility of the capsules.
2. Regarding the burned taste some reviews reported, I think I can kind of taste that very bold taste from the “Intenso” flavor. Note that I ordered the 6 pack which contains 5 different flavor. i would guess that very bold taste from the “Intenso” flavor is what some reviewered referred as the burned taste. Yes, it may not be the best flavor. However, the “Classico”, “Lungo” etc are all pretty good and more balance in terms of taste. If you don’t like the intenso flavor, just avoid that one the second when you buy specific taste. The 6 pack combo is for you to try out what taste you like.
Overall, I think these capsules works very well on my machine. The taste are mostly good and strong. there is just as good amount of creama from these capsules compared to the original.I would say the original Nespresso capsules are still better in terms of taste but these are very good and they are excellent alternative and offer great value.

Great taste but pods don’t work well
I was so excited about this Lavazza combo, we are coffee lovers and we love our Nespresso machine. But unfortunately, the experience wasn’t great. The first time only water came out instead of coffee. Then we noticed that the pod wasn’t opened by the machine. We tried again and then we had first water and eventually the coffee came out. It tastes great, but it seems like these pods are not compatible with the Nespresso. Something that we are doing is pressing the aluminum before we put it in the machine.

Excellent Espresso – Good taste, Not bitter
Excellent Espresso – Good taste, Not bitter
Got myself the older model Nespresso machine, because if you buy the new model, you can only buy your pods from Nespresso and itâs old and terrible. The older model Nespresso machines have different pods that are off patent so you can buy them from any coffee company. I only buy Lavazza espresso. Itâs the best. I even like the wonderful smell of it as I make my morning espresso. Sometimes I make lattes. My spouse wanted decaf so we tried it, taste wise, I could not tell the differenceâ¦but as a rule I buy this one as I want the caffeine to get me going. Enjoy. Picture is of the latte I made for myself this morning. I also put Ghirardelli caramel sauce on top.

UPDATE: Great customer service
UPDATE: Lavazza and Amazon moved with great speed to fix the labeling error. Amazon quickly issued a refund for the incorrect box (with no necessity to return, which I thought was classy.) Lavazza also fulfilled the original order with the correct variety pack.
As everyone knows, it’s a challenge to find an affordable substitute for Nespresso Original Line capsules. Poor coffee quality, capsules that fail, “aluminum” capsules with a paper around the seal that clog the machine. Lavazza’s new aluminum capsules perform like original Nespresso. The only variety I didn’t like with the light roast Lungo, but I’m not a fan of light roasts. I don’t care for citrusy aftertaste, which was very low or non-existent in the Lavazza varieties.
I have found my Nespresso substitute, and kudos to Amazon and Lavazza for an excellent shopping experience.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
I received a six-pack of all decaf and not the variety pack I ordered. Return or replacement requires going through Customer Service for this non-returnable item, because I was sent the wrong product. I decided to keep it because I like Lavazza decaf the best, and reorder the variety pack. I assumed Amazon just pulled the wrong item.
Here is the reason for the Beware! warning: I noticed that the label on the box from the manufacturer clearly states that it’s decaf, but the label on the item generated by Amazon IS for the variety pack. If you order around the same time as I did, you’ll likely get all decaf and not the variety pack. A review seemed to be the only way to alert shoppers.
Two stars because I like the quality of the coffee, and the error was not the fault of the manufacturer. I like that the capsules are now aluminum (I actually opened one – it is aluminum.) Not plastic, which I hate. I like that the capsules don’t have that cheap paper ring like some other Nespresso off-brands, that break off and clog the machine. These seem to work as well as Nespresso capsules, but it’s too early to tell if they all will work. And the price is great.
I will go through the hassle of contacting Customer Service and alert them to the error. Hopefully they’ll correct the wrong label. I already reordered before I discovered the error, but the Prime Day Price was just too good to pass up.

brilliant product, works really well with the nespresso machine by delonghi.

This is a nice, bold coffee!

These pods have quite a few flaws, which surprised me, since Lavazza is such a large and knowledgae company. I will list my 3 biggest issues with the pods.
The pods are too short. The length of the pod is about 3mm shorter than original Nespresso pods and other competitor pods. This shows in the end result as sometimes lots of water leaks to the water catchment tray.
The plastic pod is not durable. The pod has foil seals on either end, which is a good idea, but the plastic body is so thin that it melts due to the high heat of the water passing through.
The coffee is not Lavazza quality. I’m not sure what happened, but Lavazza seems to be using some coffee that is not nearly as good as their regular line of beans/ground. I much preffer Lavazza drip coffee. Nespresso pods are way better. And with a saving of only about 15 cents a pod, is it worth it?
Like I said, you save about 15 cents per pod compared to Nespresso original. But it is worth it to risk damaging your machine which costs anywhere from $100-$500+, to save a few cents? I returned my pods.
Amazon Customer –
… and it’s nothing you can’t handle — and for the price and quality, it’s worth the slight hassle. The capsules have a tendency to fall straight through. Maybe 3 in 10 don’t get “grabbed” by the Nespresso system. You need to hold the capsule as you close the chamber and make sure it sits properly. Also, it’s labour-intensive to recycle the pods: I scoop out the coffee to go in the compost and put the plastic shells in the recycling bin.

Flavor: 2/5
Value: 2/5
Freshness: 3/5
I purchased 2 x 10 packs of these based on all the positive reviews, but am very disappointed…
THE BAD:
Out of 10 capsules, only 7 of them worked. I have a Nespresso Pixie and the flow rate through these capsules is terrible. If takes 2 to 3 times longer to extract an espresso compared to original and other third party pods I’ve used. This ends up putting more pressure on your pump, forcing it to run longer, and in the end will shorten the lifespan of your pump. The 3 capsules that did not work were completely torn up at the top where the capsule is punctured. In addition the capsule do not puncture properly sometimes and you have to eject them and puncture them again… very annoying.
THE GOOD:
When you get the capsules to work they produce a decent espresso shot. Not as strong and smooth as other capsules I’ve tried; but decent enough to make a small Americano for your friends who are not espresso/coffee snobs 🙂
OVERALL RECOMMENDATION:
If you ar we a coffee/espresso snob and want the best quality shot capable with your Nespresso, and do not want to deal with defective pods, then DO NOT purchase these.
On the other hand, if you want to save some money and can deal with an average tasting espresso/americano then these may be for you, but keep in mind that some of them WILL FAIL, so are you really saving money in the end?
