Compatible with Nespresso machines - Courage - by Ilan's - 60 count espresso pods - Premium gourmet quality espresso pods comptible with Nespresso Original Machines - Fair Trade

I am using a Kitchenaid Nespresso machine and have been trying several options for compatible capsules, cost effective reason obviously. I came across this interesting choice and here's my take1. Cosmetic: very well built, hard plastic case with tin foil upper cap. I strongly believe this impacts the taste and performance a lot, because Nespresso machine are 19 bar pressure and weak case would virtually reduce the pressure that extracts the details. Also, the box is similar to the authentic one, so you can use with a dispenser. Many other compatible capsule brands use box at different sizes.2. Performance: I got thick and beautiful layer of foam out of the machine.3. Taste: this tastes not as smooth as what you get with African or American coffee. It would be up to you to like the taste, or not. I appreciate the balance between caffeine and acidity. It also works well with milk (whole milk or 50-50), some coffees don't.With the good price, and a quite unique taste, I would recommend others to try this out.

Wish I could return these.I normally buy Pete’s and enjoy their robust flavor.These are not terrible, more reminiscent of Starbucks with the burnt flavor. Tastes like normal coffee but with a burnt flavor. Not sure about the caffeine levels, I bought ‘10’ and made a double. I’m not too hyped but it’s getting the job done. Don’t know if I’ll get through all 60 of these.Capsules are plastic but look metallicGood “froth”

The flavor is, for me, is just ok. My disappointment stems from the description of coffee intensity being listed as "11". In actuality, it is MAX a "4" in terms of intensity strength. As an avid espresso drinker, it is deceptive marketing at best.

I got one out of six boxes , it was just a single pack so be carful

Save some money and get this very great coffee. I have tried many other non-Nespresso capsules, and these I are by far the best. Very delicious coffee

But I don't care for these. I've tried a lot of off-brand Nespresso pods and most of them, like this one, are tasteless. I think it's because they use cheap plastic pods which don't offer the same pressure the official ones do.

It’s not great. The flavor is muddy and indistinct. I’ve taken to adding a Nespresso or Peet’s capsule to this to make it drinkable. I bought it because it seemed like a good value. You get what you pay for.

Not terrible, but not great either. There are better choices at a similar price.
