an quired taste
Edited. didn’t like it with a lot of half and half and sweetener. Later tried, both as espresso and lungo, with just a little bit of half and half, and actually enjoyed the bitterness and the aftertaste. Strange. gonna have to try more. I also have a hight caffeine tolerance, and usually go for two or three shots at a time.

Pretty good
I ordered these to try as my usual espresso pods were out of stock. These have been pretty good. I like my coffee strong and it’s not quite as strong as I like it, but pretty good in a pinch. Pricepoint is great. Will buy again.

Good quality, reasonable price, as good as Nespresso, Strong Dark has hint of tang at 2oz
I like the Amazon Fresh capsules. I have tried nearly all of them now, including decaff (a excellent hig quality cheap dupe for actual Nespresso brand, which is like $40 for same amount!) and I was excited to see an Espresso Stong Dark Roast option (12/13!). It is good, but I expected a deeper flavor. It is kind of missing that “chew on a coffee bean” flavor that a good espresso shot has. I dont think it has anything to do with quality, it is just the roast level as I experienced similar with Nespresso. I love deep dark bold coffee, the stronger the better, but I dont want any bright tangy notes (leave that to light roasts and most mediums).This has a hint of tang, which is usually never present in a dark roast. But I am being very picky. It is good, and I would actually buy it again. Though now I need to make it side by side with their Espresso Dark Roast (9/13) to see which I like better.I made it at 2 ounces, and consumed it black. I nearly always drink my coffee black, unsweetened. I think it would be perfectly fine for use as a base for a fancy drink (cream, syrups, etc), which I am about to make after submitting this review (because now it sounds good once I thought about it, haha).I think it makes a pleasant 4 or 6 ounce cuppa as needed. But as a single 2 ounce, it is not quite what I was hoping for.But as I said, I would consider it again. I tend to really like Amazon brands, and their capsules are so far very reasonably priced especially in comparison to actual Nespresso name brand capsules with same overall quality.Solid 4 stars.

Awful quality control.
These are not good every single one is deflated they have no argon in them and they all have broken seals this isnât a shipping issue this is a quality control issue if it werenât I would have at least a few that have pressure but not a single one has had the correct amount and or is exposed to the air as you can see in the photo I have posted I squeezed the product and still no bubble on the top aluminum not to mention the ones that have a bad seal taste so bitter and awful the flavors of the pods are different every time even though I ordered the 50 pack of medium roast lol the variety pack Amazon sells was much better quality but I do not prefer some of the flavors in it lol so I tried this ðð»

Pretty good for the Nespresso OL or the L’or machine
I drink a couple of capsules per day and these are pretty good. I am not real picky. SOme stuff out there is really bad. This is pretty good. I purchased it on sale. I look for capsules at the 25-30 cents each price point; which is why I have had some that are pretty bad.We use a Nespresso Critz when we camp and have a L’or at the house. These work well in either.

Solid value and taste
These pods are great! Especially for the value, you just canât beat it.I primarily drink Lattes, so I do mix my drinks with hot milk and a flavored syrup. So I wonât comment on the espresso taste as a solo shot.But it fits my needs perfectly and gives me lots of espresso at a great price.No issues with the Pods in my machine. The aluminum capsules work great, no leaks.
