- Dark and Medium Roast Espresso Capsules Variety Pack, Compatible with Nespresso Original Machine, 100% Arabica Coffee - Intensity 8-11, 40 Count (4 Boxes of 10 Espresso Capsules)

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=UTF8 Item: Peet’s Espresso Nespresso pods

Ordered these as a gift. Recipient was very pleased with the quality and worked perfectly in their Espresso machine! Much more affordable than name brand. Makes a great cup of espresso.

This is very strong, flavorful expresso. I like it and will probably re-order it. Better than expected.

Delicious! One of my favorites. High quality and just as described

My husband and I were interested in trying out a variety of pods that can be used with our Nespresso original machine. We were hoping to find some less expensive options than the Nespresso brand pods, without sacrificing taste. This variety pack turned out to be a great way of trying different types by this company. As soon as we received it, we made a cup of each of the four varieties included. That enabled us to contrast and compare each one. While we do like dark roast coffees, we found the Nerissimo espresso to be way too bitter for us (it's rated #11 on the intensity scale). We were surpised to find that we actually liked the medium roast Ricchezza (rated #8) the best. It has a wonderful full-bodied flavor with sweet undertones that we found very pleasant for our early morning coffee. My husband didn’t like any of the other three flavors, finding them too bitter. However, for me the Crema Scura was my next favorite (intensity #9). It satisfies that occasional desire for something stronger, more intense, without being too bitter. We’ll keep them all for friends who come over and want a nice intense, dark roasted espresso. If you want to try out espressos in different intensities, I recommend this pack. The price point is pretty good, though there are less expensive options.

Works perfectly with the espresso and the taste is really really good! Great value for the money!

Fast delivery, great coffee at a good price. thanks

This Peet’s Coffee Dark and Medium Roast Espresso Capsule Variety Pack is absolutely delicious. Every capsule delivers a rich, full-bodied flavor that tastes remarkably close to what you’d get from a high-end café. The dark roast capsules are bold and intense, with deep richness and a wonderfully aromatic crema. They make an excellent straight espresso and hold up beautifully in lattes or iced drinks. The medium roast capsules offer a smoother, more balanced cup with mild sweetness and very little bitterness. They’re perfect for daily drinking and pair well with milk or cream. I love switching between the roasts depending on my mood. The aroma during extraction is outstanding—strong, warm, and unmistakably Peet’s. The capsules work perfectly with my Nespresso machine, producing consistent shots every time. Overall, this is a fantastic, high-quality variety pack that lets you enjoy café-level espresso at home. Delicious, aromatic, and incredibly satisfying. Highly recommended!
