Caffe Borbone Nespresso Compatible Coffee Pods, DEK Blend Decaffeinated, Medium Roast, Decaf Espresso - NOT compatible with Vertuo - 50 Count

On a recent cruise, one of the Italian Engineering Officers told us in no uncertain terms that Borbone espresso was the best. We had never heard of Borbone, but fortunately Amazon had. We have to concede that the Gold Blend flavor is excellent.Other reviewers have had trouble with the capsules. We have found that if we press the Espresso button on our machine, then the coffee flows out well. If we push the Lungo button, the coffee stream slows to a dribble once the machine has produced a normal shot of espresso. These capsules are plastic, not aluminum, and they are slightly shorter than an aluminum capsule. Our DeLonghi Essenza Mini machine works fine with the shorter Borbone capsules. Perhaps some machines do not work as well with shorter capsules. We have used quite a few of these capsules, but if we have trouble with them in the future, then I will update this review.Each of these capsules is packaged in a sealed bag to keep them fresh because these capsules appear to have some openings on the plastic end. Aluminum capsules do not need to be individually packaged because they are completely sealed. I prefer the aluminum capsules because they can be recycled, but these capsules do cost less and make very good espresso shots. (Lungo labeled capsules make the best Lungos.)I was tempted to take off a star because these are not aluminum, but they are a high quality product and the coffee is excellent so I felt they deserved 5 stars.

Love the packaging in the individual foil bags.

I hate giving bad reviews, and I was really hoping I'd have a good experience with these. With a 4.2 rating and 21,341 ratings, i felt confident in buying these.Problem: They didn't work in the machine. Very little water flowed through the capsule, and then stopped. I've read other reviews of people's machines breaking because of the pressure, and blowing gaskets in the water pumps.I tried 4 capsules, all leading to the same result, and decided to stop before any damage is incurred by my machine.From what little espresso was produced, it did seem to taste good. I'm really bummed about these not working out.Also frustrating is that there are no refunds available from the seller, however Amazon customer service still provided me with a refund, so that's good.I've also emailed the manufacturer directly, and reported the issue. I hope they can fix this. I'm not sure how i'll know it's been fixed, but until then, I won't be able to buy these.I'm not sure how anybody else was able to use these in their machines.I'm tempted to open each capsule and just collect the grounds to run through a normal coffee maker, as I hate waste, but this isn't how I normally do my coffee in the morning. I don't even have a normal coffee maker, so maybe i'll give the grounds to my mom or something.

great espresso

I have a 13yr old Nespresso. When I used the lungo size, it tasted like coffee, which is what I did not want. When I used the espresso setting, it was strong, creamy and flavorful. Very good but also a bit acidic. I usually purchase either Illy or nespresso pods. I will start buying this from now on. It's pretty good, if I choose espresso size on my machine.

Like I said a good quality coffee for the price.

The taste is great . It suits me, I love it, I feel more cheerful after this coffee, my head clear.

The coffee is not my favorite. I like to drink mine black, but for me to get through this I will need to add cream. It may be other people favorites, but I wont be reordering it. Also I read other reviews that the machines had a difficult time pushing coffee through the capsules, and I would agree it takes a while before my finishes. I hope nothing breaks because of it.

Best

I love the flavour. I use it in my breville mini nespresso machine. Smells like espresso and has a smooth taste even with no sugar. My favourite blend of the Borbone line

Delicious tasting coffee. First tasted in Italy.

Borbone is a true Napoli coffee. The best out there for Nespresso. Highly recommend and price is right
