We keep coming back for more!!
Gives you a great caffeine boost. Great quality. So easy to use in our Nespresso machine. We love the blonde espresso. The design is so clean and simple. Great value. No interest in variety packs when this is the best flavor.

LIFE SAVING! LOVE IT! Read this for a few ways I make my drinks as well!
I seriously love these sooooo much. I worked at starbucks for a few years until recently, so I really miss my free partner beverages or even just the discount. Thank goodness I took my barista skills with me though. 😉 I honestly don’t care for most of the Nespresso brand pods I have tried, I also just hate paying for them too, probably because I just don’t like the taste.. though these are the same price IT IS SO WORTH IT! IT’S SO DELICIOUS. I am seriously obsessed with these! Not to mention, I save money now that I don’t spend $5 at Starbucks per day.. the price for 50 pods is equivalent to 6-7 drinks at starbucks. Depending how many shots of espresso you use per drink, this could be like 25-50 drinks!! I just have so many great things to say. Obviously, I HIGHLY recommend these!If anyone even really read this or cares enough to about how I make just a few of my drinks here it is:Iced Caramel Macchiato:I buy the starbucks macchiato creamer, the Ghirardelli caramel sauce (not as amazing as the starbucks caramel sauce but still delicious), milk or almond milk (I switch back and forth), and obviously these pods!I put some of the caramel sauce in at the bottom of the cup to make it sweet, add 2 shots of espresso to that and mix it so it melts the sauce, then just a small amount of the creamer, the rest with regular milk, and add the ice!****I will put drizzle on top sometimes or even use a little skim milk & froth it with a hand held milk frother for cold foam, maybe a little salt with the foam for a little salted caramel vibe!Iced MochaI use the Hershey’s chocolate syrup, milk, espresso, and ice.I only put a little chocolate & add 2 shots of espresso to mix it, then add the milk and ice. I will taste it before the ice usually to see if I want more chocolate.Iced white mocha/ caramel white mocha:I used the starbucks white mocha creamer, milk, Ghirardelli caramel sauce, espresso, and ice.I usually just put a little white mocha creamer in the cup and add 2 shots of espresso/ I will put the caramel sauce at the bottom first, then espresso, then creamer IF I want the caramel white mocha. Then of course just the milk and ice.Also.. just super simple and not as sweet. I really like to drink a hot or iced latte with a little of the silk brand vanilla almond milk creamer & espresso.Of course this isn’t super fancy or anything but it is very delicious! Hopefully someone actually reads my long book here and tries one of these ~copycat starbucks drinks~ I made up and loves it as much as I do. 🙂

SOLUTION TO CRUSHED PODS!
Update: I love the coffee and this is by far the cheapest place to get them. I am changing my rating from 2 stars for poor shipping to 5 stars for the actual pods. I contemplated how to force Amazon to ship it better and came up with a plan – buy more than will fit in a mailer to make them use a box and make sure you don’t order anything heavy that they can put in the box with them. To be safe, I didn’t order anything else that week to make sure my pods came alone. It worked! For the first time in 3 shipments we did not have a single crushed pod and now we have enough pods to last a few months. We ordered 3 of the 50 packs (total of 150 pods) and that was perfect. Dates were all good and none expire in less than 10 months.Update: we gave them a second chance and another set of pods came crushed (even worse than the first ones). I donât understand why they canât figure out how to put these in sleeves that donât crush or ship them in a hard side package. We will no longer be buying them from Amazon because Iâm tired of throwing away pods. The last pic with the completely crushed pod in the center was our newest batch. That one will have to be thrown away and some of the other ones are questionable as to whether they will work. Takes away from the cost-effectiveness of buying them through Amazon if you have to throw away almost a whole sleeve. very disappointed.This is our third or fourth order of these pods and weâve had a few that were slightly damaged but usable. This is the first sleeve out of this new box and seven out of 10 pods are essentially unusable. If youâre not familiar with an nespresso machine – the pods have a rubber seal that goes around the edge to make a seal and then water is forced through the pod and if the rims cannot connect with that seal you lose a lot of the coffee into the collection chamber in the bottom instead of going into your cup. They essentially donât work when they look like this. Thereâs a no refund and no return policy so I will be contacting Amazon independently to see what they will do about this because itâs completely unacceptable.

Tastes like starbucks blond espresso for a fraction of the price
Can be a little more burnt tasting– the bitterness starbucks is known for but can remedy this with a little milk. product is good value though otherwise.

Love these pods!
These are a great value for money. They are fresh and work great in our Nespresso machine. Iâm so happy that other companies can now make the Nespresso pods, because these are the best in my opinion!
