Il Caffé Italiano Coffee, Capsules Compatible with Nespresso OriginalLine, Certified Genuine Roma Roma Strong Intensity Pack, 100 Espresso Pods, Crafted in Sicily

I got these with a coupon deal and it was a good price and value. The taste is good and the quality is good. However, I have two different nespresso machines and used them on both and it seems like the coffee comes out really slow; I'm thinking lots of coffee is packed into these pods and maybe they're more dense than other brands so the coffee comes out slower so the amount dispensed is off, not a big problem at all. I've tried the bestspresso brand as well and those seem to be packed too loose and are much less strong. Overall these are good and much cheaper than nespresso brand.

These are pretty good for the money. I got them on sale for $33. However, the water comes through the capsules slowly, sometimes just drips rather than a steady stream. It concerns me that this may be putting a strain on my machine and cause it to "burn out". The flavor is good but nothing compares to the original Nespresso capsules. I'll go back to using Bestpresso or Italian Coffee capsules.

Coffee is very good - if you can get water to flow through the capsule. Some capsules are filled to bulging, some seem a bit underfilled. But for well over 50% of these capsules the water simply can not get through. I am concerned this will result in pump damage. That said, I read other reviews and noticed that the seller suggested puncturing the capsule twice before hitting brew (puncture/release/retrieve from used capsule bin/rotate/puncture/brew). I tried this. I suggest that you empty the used capsule bin before each use so that there will be no ambiguity as to which is the "new capsule" when you release it into the bin after the first of the two punctures. I've done this a couple of times and it works well. And for the first time in over two years of using this machine I could really taste the coffee in my latte, not just the milk. So the coffee is very good. If I have to choose between double puncture and weak coffee - I'll choose double puncture. If this method continues to work I will use my supply of these capsules - and I will even consider reordering them.

Premise: I've been living in Italy for 20 years but am spending more time in the States lately. While I'm by no means a coffee snob, I am ruined when it comes to non-Italian olive oil, salame, etc. I mean it's just way better in Italy than anywhere else!In Italy I had a lot of experience with the Lavazza and Nespresso capsules. Here in California I've been trying the capsule clone "Bestpresso", but after having purchased these Caffè Italiano capsules over a week ago, I have to say that they are way-way better.The Nespressos were good of course (seldom bitter), the Lavazzas were pretty-good (like they are in Italy), and for my machines in the States, I was buying the Bestpressos (which are really well reviewed). But now I've reached the conclusion that Bestpresso is just the most successful clone on Amazon, however a distant Number 3 in my book as they're just not as good as the originals...... But these are! I've have two of these per day for the last week, and the lack of bitterness is surprising. But most important for me was the fact that the brew didn't smell "stale" like above-mentioned competitor. Who wants to start their day with that smell?!?!?Now, I'm from California, but after living in Italy for so long I can say that no self-respecting Italian would drink coffee from a Spanish roasting company. And after reading origin on the Bestpresso box, I think that alone defines the difference in product quality I find between these Caffé Italiano (from Italy) and Bestpresso (from Spain).

Coffee isn't bad, not great but better than few others out there, would give extra star but capsule design might be off, they tend to get crushed in the machine

So you went and got a Nespresso machine, so did I.. and you probably bought actual Nespresso capsules, so did I.. Look, the concept of having Espresso at home with this much simplistically is awesome, but you don’t need to go broke doing it. These are absolutely the best bang for your buck. Other reviews claim it’s like bad hotel room coffee, nonsense! Someone else claimed it doesn’t work right and broke there machine, nonsense! Personally I bought 1 package with 60 capsules, after I made my first Espresso SOLD!! I made one for my very picky Espresso loving wife, SOLD! After that first Espresso I ordered 250 boxes of 120 per box. That’s how good this Espresso is. It’s from Milan and tastes like I’m back in Italy.

This coffee tastes great but runs really slow in my nespresso. I have found that it’s best to remove used cartridges and then punch these once before running in the machine. This ensures that they run smoothly.

Unwilling to give up my single, cherished, mindful and satisfying cup ofvery good coffee, I set out to find the right balance of flavor andprice. (Flavor includes the fancy stuff--aroma, crema, and other thingsI don't really know about.) And now I found it and I will not strayfrom this discovery: Ilcaffeitaliano Roma. When I pushed the button onmy trusty Nespresso machine I noticed the darker color immediately andthat set the expectation for more of everything. It was fulfilled!Consider me a lifetime customer.
