Peet’s Coffee, Dark and Medium Roast Espresso Capsules Variety Pack, Compatible with Nespresso Original Machine – Intensity 8-11, 40 Count (4 Boxes of 10 Espresso Capsules)

Excellent quality and quantity!
This was a great deal, not only for the quality, since Peets is one of the best coffees in my opinion, but also for the quantity of capsules. This was a fifty capsule variety pack, with 5 different flavors including decaf, dark, and medium roast. Five boxes of ten capsules each and each box is labeled with its intensity as well as the color of capsules, plus lists its strength from 8-11. I love knowing this fact according to a numbered intensity. Great feature! Even the box of decaf is especially delicious, much to my surprise, so I have that one in the evening and it’s a treat. And what I really like about this selection are the bright metal colors of the capsules. I put them all in a clear glass cylinder next to my espresso machine, and it is so much fun to pick and choose each time I make espresso. Even the packaging for this product gets an A+.

Solid Coffee
When I normally purchased Nespresso pods in the past, I would always go for the Nespresso signature line of dark roast coffee. I made the decision recently to branch out and try different coffee companies and flavors. I chose the Peet’s coffee espresso pods because it is a familiar name that normally excels at dark roast coffee and coffee in general so I thought what “could go wrong?” When the pods arrived, I opened the package and found very nice packaging that individually sets the pods in the cardboard and secures them. Many people will say that Peet’s is a high-brow name that just has recognition, but doesn’t really back it up enough with regards to quality to justify the cost of the purchase. To those people I simply say to try them out and reevaluate your opinion! From the first cup of coffee I had on the day that I received the coffee to the cup I just had this morning, the coffee has been very good. I find the flavor profile to be extremely smooth, but still had the kick and bite we all look for in a good cup of espresso. The color of the coffee is a rich and dark color with a nice light brown foam on the top. The aroma is unmistakable. It smells exactly like a coffee shop in my kitchen each morning when I send another pod through the Nespresso and I couldn’t be happier about it. I usually drink my coffee as an addition to a dark cold brew I make over ice. I am not sure if this is the proper way to drink the coffee, but it works well for me and that’s all that really matters. The coffee is delicious and blends in extremely well with the dark cold brew I make at home. Beyond my “normal” cup of coffee, I will have these Peet’s coffee pods straight up and alone and they are still just as good, if not better. Once, the coffee cools down enough to drink, you will find that each cup is incredibly rich and creamy with a bold, strong coffee flavor that tastes just like grabbing a cup when in Venice, but at home! The packaging on the Crema Scura blend reads “thick and luxurious espresso offers full bodied, earthy, nutty notes balanced by a creamy enduring finish.” I don’t think they could have hit the nail on the head any more than that. The richness of this blend stands out among the rest. Most of the negative reviews that I see are issues that individual customers have had regarding their quality control. Most of these negative reviews are calling into question the freshness of the coffee they received. I read a lot of reviews from people that received either expired or very close to expired coffee. One reviewer wrote “The sell by date is within less than months. It would be better if we were informed in advance.” I did not have this experience, but it is something that either the company or the distributor should take note of as this almost swayed me from the purchase. All in all, I think this was very good coffee that was neatly packaged and met all of my expectations and even exceeded them in many ways. I would recommend giving this coffee a shot!https://www.amazon.com/Peets-Coffee-Intensity-Compatible-Nespresso/dp/B07DDLCWJF/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8Item: Peet’s Espresso Nespresso pods

Very smooth
Coming from an espresso snob, I bought these for my Outin portable espresso machine to use when traveling. These are great, smooth espresso without bitterness and robust crema.

Great taste
I’m picky with coffee and hard to find pods for my Nespresso original. These are good!
