Delicious full bodied flavor
Highly recommend if you enjoy a full bodied coffee with no bitterness. Smooth and delicious. Capsules work well with Neapresso Creatista & Creatista Plus. I wish they offered a larger quantity option & cost a bit less but they are good.

I will be returning both boxes. These pucks in this brand do not taste the same as the regular coffee. The taste is significantly lighter.

Brew-tiful Flavor with Little Drama
If you like your coffee strong enough to wake the dead but smooth enough not to offend your taste buds, these espresso pods are your besties. The flavor? Rich, full-bodied, and not a hint of bitternessâlike a sophisticated friend who knows when to stop talking.My wife and I have been drinking these for some time now, but once in a while weâll get a pod that apparently has commitment issues and refuses to drip properly. You might find yourself wondering if youâll need a backup plan (or just a hammer).Overall, we enjoy the taste and value of these espresso pods. Not all besties are perfect.

Love
Neopresso type expresso maker used. Great consistency. Great foam from maker not the coffee pod. Good for one shot, big or small, a very tasty cup of expresso. Pricy, but Iâm worth it 🙂

Quality and value
Iâve tried the bustelo coffee and la llave and I would definitely go with la llave. Itâs very creamy and the taste is original and strong just like Cuban coffee. Me and my boyfriend love it, we even have the subscription.

Great for convenienceâstill not fresh espresso
So I used these for 6 months with my nespressoâif you like nespresso and are looking for a bold authentic espresso this is def a great brandâ but for me I always found myself going to Starbucks whenever I could for fresh espresso. The pod platform Keurig created that nespresso also uses is great for people who donât care all that much what their coffee tastes like or who donât have time to do anything about it, but for anything more than a slightly stale shot of espresso produced very quickly, youâll want to opt for a small casabrew or some sort of actual espresso machine. But if youâre not too particular about your espresso or desperate for something closer than a k cup in a jam, Cafe La Llave pods are still closest thing I could get to fresh espresso quality and will produce a solid shot for convenience sake. And if youâre adding some kind of cream/sugar it matters even less.

Defective pods
I have been using the caffeinated version of these pods and have been happy with them. Ordered these decaf ones, and the aluminum cap breaks apart, preventing the machine from completing its brew cycle and getting the pods stuck in the chamber. Unfortunate! The caffeinated ones still work nicely, so I know it isnât the machine. Tried 2 boxes to be sure not just a funky box. Attempted to return but not eligible, and canât find a way to contact the manufacturer to let them know about the problem. Looks like another reviewer last month had similar issues. Will hope the company reaches out to me to make it right, and will update this review if they do.Update: after enough internet research we tried a deep clean of the brewing machine and got these to work. Apparently the cap foil is weaker than other pods, but if we keep it all clean of any grounds or pod bits they work fine.

Amazing taste for a decafinated
Full body and taste, not a watery brew. Good price – good value
