Espresso Decaffeinato Dark Roast Aluminum Capsules, Compatible with Nespresso Original Brewers, Intensity 9/13, 50 Count (5 Packs of 10)

While a higher-end coffee brand may have some more boutique flavors, this budget brand offers a good tasting decaf espresso at a low price. I wanted to have an option to use my espresso machine at night without caffeine. These pods gave me that option. In addition to tasting good, the pods load in very well. Some pods seem to have too large of a rim and fit too tight. These fit perfectly when you lock them into the machine.

What a tasty deal -truly. I've never used a lot of decaf, in part because I've rarely found a tasty-enough substitute -and not just in this format. This one is tasty, strong, yet smooth, and convenient, of course; and I am now using it enough that I decided to grab a subscription deal on my second 50-count order. For all coffee, I expect a nice aroma, and a nice I-want-a-cup SABOR -initially and through the last sip, regardless of time. It's worth a least a trial -which for me, was a two-month one, and that is now my subscription schedule. The aluminum capsules work normally and reliably in my Delonghi Citiz - which I also endorse but now hesitate to recommend because it's gotten so dear and expensive -to at least twice what I paid several years ago. For reference, I have always drank my coffee black. my regular/daily nespresso capsules are Don Francisco;s Clasico ones, and my prior decaf choice was L'or's, before that brand was bought up by Peete's to scratch out a competitor, and that decaf's price almost doubled to now be higher that Peete's own decaf which is -or was- merely ok. I'm no decaf connoisseur, no; but thank you Amazon!

It gets the job done. Good taste. No its not the best tasting pods ive ever tried but we enjoyed it. For this price it'd be hard to beat I would think. Only bad thing is you only get one shot out of each pod. Try to get another and it'll come out way too weak for my tastes anyway. Still, great price, good taste, I'll buy it again.

I can't tell the difference between the DEK vs the Caffeinated Coffees - both are delicious coffees

These decaffeinated espresso “aluminum” pods are smoothly strong with beautiful aroma that tastes as great as it smells. The fit is good for my machine and the water flow is acceptable with a 95% flow through rate with only an occasional bad pod. The price is fair for the quality of coffee and you will not be disappointed in your purchase.

These are not worth saving a couple of cents on pods. I would just order direct from Nespresso! These have an odd scent to them when you start the initial brew. They say they have an intensity of 9, but they are more around a 4 or 5. They don’t have much flavor to them at all. If you enjoy the taste of coffee or espresso, I would NOT buy these. But if just want cheap coffee, then these might be for you.

I've tried genuine Nespresso decaf, Peets, and Starbucks. Now these. These produce the weakest and least flavorful decaf I've had yet from a Nespresso machine. My favorite Peet's pod is the Crema Scura as a reference. My preference for a cup is two pods on the Lungo setting with a short shot of water. No cream or sugar. These pods aren't strong enough to do that. In a Lungo they're already watery tasting without additional water. They're better if used in the shorter setting but still not great. They're definitely affordable. I've run several through my machine at different settings without any issue with machine function. I just wouldn't buy them again because so far, the two primary coffee drinkers in the house don't like the lack of robust flavor in the coffee. If you like cream and sugar, you're probably not going to taste the coffee at all in these pods.

Absolutely delicious! If I were blindfolded I would never know it was decaf! Love it! Amazon... Please bring back this decaf pod... Please:)
