Great Nespresso - Awful Capsules
Let's face it, if you're not in Italy, you've probably never heard of Caffè Tiziano Bonini.Call it what it is, you're looking for a better deal on Nespresso and this one is appealing.If you read my review for Bestpresso (https://www.amazon.com/review/R3MFK7KFYPRG4E/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm), you'll see that I don't pull punches. Either something is great, not great or just ok.The 10-pack that I received has something that Bestpresso doesn't have. Every blend from this company is UNIQUE!If this was a review for coffee FLAVOR, it'd get a 5 star review. But the capsules! Oh dear, the capsules....At the time of this writing (I may update it later) I've used about 20 capsules and so far I haven't had 1 complete "pull". Bestpresso's capsules brew flawlessly 100% of the time, Nespresso's capsules also brew 100% flawlessly. The Caffè Tiziano Bonini capsules are all over the place. Every single espresso I've tried to make has brewed an insufficient amount of water. I started measuring them to see if I could see a pattern, but no such luck. I've tried tapping them on the counter, tapping them either toward the bottom or the top and nothing helps.If you get these capsules, you'll like the flavor of the coffees, but you will NOT be satisfied with the inconvenience of having to manually add more water EVERY TIME. I'll finish them, but unless they redesign the capsules I will NOT be purchasing them again.Initially I wanted to give these a 1-star rating because of the inconvenience, but decided to be nice and consider the coffee itself. I can confirm that the coffee is in fact fresh and the crema on every blend is great.One other thing to consider, at the time of this writing these capsules are not on Prime and are being shipped from Canada. Meaning, don't get these if you want them quickly. To be honest, I'm going to re-order the Bestpresso when I'm finished with these.Happy Sipping! ^_^UPDATE: I've now been through about 80 of these capsules and I'd like to reaffirm my initial review along with some additional comments. Of the 80 or so that I've brewed, no more than 5 of them brewed the correct amount of espresso. Additionally, there's a nasty/crunchy sound every time you close the handle, as these capsules get pierced. Every time I hear it, it makes me cringe, as if I'm somehow damaging my coffee maker. Aside from those extra comments, I really did love the flavors (most of them). I've already re-ordered from Bestpresso and I'm happy to have a single capsule for my daily-driver!

Great quality espresso brewed with Nespresso Machine and environmentally thoughtful packaging.
All of the flavors so far have been great! The capsules fit and brew great in my Nespresso machine. Each flavor so far tastes great, and I will definitely be ordering these again.The package shipped on time, and I very much appreciated that the amount of packing materials is limited. Each flavor (10 capsules) are in their own boxes and all boxes inside the Amazon box. Many of the brands I have purchased so far, have had the capsules inside an air-tight bag, which i understand is to conserve freshness, but it adds up as far as packing materials go. The bags are all placed in another box and then 4 or five other boxes are packed into a bigger box with the plastic packing bubbles for safety. Again, i understand the concern for the products' condition when it arrives to our home, but I prefer less packaging materials due to obvious environmental reasons.

Tried 15 Nespresso Compatible Capsules - This was the first one that was at the same level - Its Great
HiI have had my Nespresso Machine since 1995 and bought my first one in London UK. I think that the original capsules are great; however, after so many years I do get bored. So I started trying compatible ones and was disappointing waste of money.I want to thank you for a great product this was the first that was as good as the original. Most of the ones I tried were really weak and tasteless.I do not write reviews and I was so impressed that I had to. Its also great value for money!Please do not stop creating new blends, I look forward to buying and drinking your espresso.RegardsThe Happy Customer

These are a good replacement to the original
These are a good replacement to the original. I drink probably 5-8 of these a day so cost is a big factor. The biggest pain is that these drop excess water in the tray. I did a side by side comparison with the original pod and these. The original pod there were a few drops of water in the drip tray with these there was a tablespoon or two. You have to empty the drip tray when it the spent pod storage gets about 3/4 full.

The coffee is really really good
I love this coffee and the fact that there are many different flavors.

Dare I say better than the original?
I haven't tasted all varieties yet, but I can say that they quality is extremely good. The capsules fit very well my two Nespresso machines (Latissima+ and Inissia). I don't think the force I need to use to pierce the pod is different from the regular Nespresso capsules, but the "click" is obviously different. These capsules are made of apparently hard plastic, which works better than plastic capsules that I tried a few years ago, which were made of more malleable plastic. The crema is great, the coffee tastes fresh. The capsules are apparently under vacuum (the foil does not form a bubble like the Nespresso capsules) which may contribute to the quality of the espresso. I will definitively buy again.

Great taste, but not caffeinated enough.
These are really good, and they're a great tasting alternative nespresso pods. I've bought a lot of generic brands for my nespresso machine, and for flavor, these are the most comparable to the nespresso brand name pods with regard to flavor, HOWEVER they have about a quarter of the caffeine. There are 10 different flavors/roasts, but they all have about the same caffeine content. Also I don't like that the intensity levels are not indicated anywhere. So if you're like me and you need high caffeine, you might want to look elsewhere. But please don't get me wrong, they do have caffeine. You can feel it, just not close to the buzz you'd get from brand name nespresso capsules.

Good value and taste
So, they are not Nespresso, but for 1/2 the cost and for the number of pods I use on a daily basis (3 - 4) they are well worth the purchase. They fit the machine with no issue. The first time I purchased I didn't notice much taste difference between the types.

Hard to tell the difference in taste from the real thing
First of all, give them credit for not including decaf. pods. No-one buys an Espresso machine so they can have these wretched things. The flavours are pretty good, with a mix of mild and strong, which suits our family as I prefer strong and by wife less so. The only ones that were too weak were Lungo, which are actually rated at 4 on the packet, not 7 as stated. As for compatibility, all the pods worked first time until my daughter managed to break our machine using one, but she was in a bit of a temper at the time, so maybe it's coincidence. We had the instant replacement deal at a well known retailer, so we got a new machine and a new starter pack. That gave me the chance to compare again. The flavours are comparable but just maybe the texture is smoother for the original pods. But I would still buy these because I'm a cheapskate.

The taste is not for me.
Good price however, the taste is not for me and I will buy more expensive versions in future. Plastic capsules as well.
