Italian Coffee for Espresso Lovers pods compatible with Nespresso Original machines, Italian Expresso capsules (100 Lungo regular pods, 100 Count (Pack of 1))

This is really good coffee provided that you prefer smooth, lighter roast flavor. The pods are unusual in that the body is not aluminum. However, it is also not flimsy plastic. Whatever the material, it is very hard and works well in my espresso machine, which applies quite a large force and high pressure. The packaging apparently also preserves the ground coffee as judged by its fresh taste. I am pleased to be able to buy such good coffee at a reasonable price.

I found this to be very tasty as my morning lungo. I ordered it when my usual brand was out of stock so I’m pleased it has worked out. It’s certainly affordable and I’ll definitely order it again

I find this Espresso quite enjoyable. It's smooth and tasty, not very acidic. It's not easy to review coffee as everyone have their own experience.

Just wanted to give an update after about a month of drinking the Italian Lungo capsules in my pixie…. (I still don’t like the Crema ones straight but they are fine for a cappuccino) The Italian Lungo capsules are consistently delicious. I’ve not had a single defective capsule and I’ve gone through almost 4 boxes (40 capsules). I’m so happy I found these…. My favorite nespresso capsules (besides the amazing forest almond that was limited and discontinued over a year ago) are Vienna Lungo, Buenos Aires Lungo and Paris espresso. But these Lungo Italian capsules are just as delicious and I find myself reaching for them more than any of my nespresso capsules now. I don’t mind spending g more for quality products and have been purchasing nespresso capsules for years. I’ve tried others out of curiosity…. Starbucks, Target, Peet’s, etc…. And I usually go back to the nespresso capsules because they are just better. But these are amazing…. On par with my top pics from nespresso and at 25cents each it’s an unbelievable value. I noticed there were some reviews saying that they aren’t compatible with their nespresso machine….they ARE compatible with ORIGINAL NESPRESSO MACHINES. There are 2 types of Nespresso machines that use 2 very differently shaped capsules. The original machines use the original small capsules like these. If you have the vertuo machine with the big, wide capsules it’s obviously not going to work. I remember ring confused about this when I first bought my pixie years ago too. These work great with my nespresso pixie which is an original machine and I’ve not had a single dud. The general consensus is that the original espresso machines makes a better, fuller, more authentic espresso. I can’t say if that’s true or not because I’ve only ever had original machines. But I do love it. Original review: Decided to try these because the price was amazing and reviews were overall pretty good. I bought Crema espresso and Italian Lungo. I added a video showing them brewed in my original pixie nespresso machine and a quick taste test… The Crema flavor is, in my opinion, acidic and bitter. I don’t like that one straight but it might be good with a little frothed milk. But it’s intensity is 9/10 so if you like that strong taste with a definite acidic flavor profile you may like it. It’s fine for cappuccinos but I usually drink mine straight. The lungo Italian is AMAZING…. I’m so impressed by that one. Super smooth and delicious all in its own. Doesn’t need anything at all. I added a photo of my top 3 nespresso pods and these…. I go back and forth between Vienna and this Italian roast (first 2 on the left) as my favorites and will continue buying and enjoying them both.

Outstanding flavor, quality and worked perfectly in our Nespresso machine.

Okay, I got sucked into trying these because of the great price and the fact the capsule design closely mimics the OEM design, so I hoped they would work well in the Nespresso machine (lots of compatible capsules do not). Sadly, these make a very disappointing cup of coffee, and the capsule foil is too thick, which means it takes about an extra second to pierce the holes--all the while plain hot water is draining into your cup. Normal qwell-made OEM (or Starbucks, LaVazza, or Illy) capsules do not have this issue,a nd all you get it coffee. These make watery coffee. :( I ordered the Nespresso Compatible Lungo Intenso capsules, 100 for about $24, a ridiculous price. Well, turns out you get what you pay for. The flavor is vaguely Italian, weak, bitter, and unpleasant. This is not something I want to drink. Brews with plenty of the infamous Nespresso faux crema (anyone who understands real espresso knows Nespresso machines cannot make real crema, they just add air to coffee to get foam) and smells like basic coffee, but the actual flavor is just not good - weak and very generic, and not helped by the extra water which lands in the cup. End result tastes like watered down normal brewed coffee of the very mediocre variety. I do not understand the reviews which rave about this coffee. Have you all never had good coffee before? Because this definitely isn't. This makes Starbucks look like liquid gold (which it isn't). Very disappointing. Will not buy them again and absolutely cannot recommend this particular flavor (I have not tried their other flavors, and will likely not bother). Value would have been great had I not just thrown them out. I wasted $24. If you are a coffee person who takes your coffee even the slightest bit seriously, keep looking. If on the other hand, you consider instant coffee acceptable, these will make your day. Undrinkable. Not recommended.

Makes a nice cup of espresso!! For a reasonable price..

The pods are a clever redesign of the Nespresso pods which uses much less material. Unfortunately, they don't work very well. Grounds end up in my coffee at least half of the time, and the soft body of the pods doesn't interact reliably with the clamping mechanism of the machine. Then, they leak a lot more than the Nestle pods after they're ejected. The Nestle pods pour neatly into the bin, but these cling to each other and the basket and scatter. It all compounds into making my machine more gross and a little more difficult to clean. The taste is appealing but definitely not as nuanced as the excellent Nestle pods. I can't quite justify these to myself.

Parfait pour ma machine

Tres bon produit

As I have only used them a few times, it is hard to say, but so far I like the taste, and they are less than half the price I was paying for the others.

I bought these to try as I was tired of having to brew 2 pods of espresso just to get a decent amount of coffee for my milky drinks. These worked perfectly for my nespresso gran latissima and the price per pod is great. Coffee is very aromatic without being overly bitter or acidic. For reference my usual go to pods are the Lavazza Rosso pods. But I’m loving these! Especially for larger lattes and latte macchiatos.

We have ordered this coffee many times before with no issues. Our most recent purchase of off, it tastes RANCID. And of course the company offers no return. Will never order again. Lot number L28225. Packed on 10/2025, expiration 10/2027.
