Good Espresso Coffee
Would give 5 stars if not for a couple of annoying issues.The good:Coffee taste and brewing strength across all four sample coffies very good.The capsules work in my older CITI machine. The machine has good wear and these work fine.The savings are another positive. Compared to Nespresso about 25 cents per capsule.The annoying:The insterting of the capsules requires a much harder lever pull. First few times one wonders if the machine will break. The reason, capsule design compared to Nespresso. The end needs to be pushed in as opposed to holes punchured. As noted above the machine will survive.Now the most annoying problem. All the capsules are exactly the same color and No identification as to what is in them. Ok if you keep the capsules in their boxes, recommended, but otherwise using a rack no way to tell what coffee inside.How does one tell a decaf from a dark outside the box, for example.Sum it up:A couple annoying problems, overall a good quality espresso priced very competitively. Recommended this product.

My preferred alternative to Nespresso
I've been ordering Nespresso pods for my little machine faithfully for years now, until I discovered this option!Now - disclaimer, I AM from Portland, and therefore know Portland Roasting coffee. We buy it for our drip coffee machine. When I realized they now offer their coffee in Nespresso pods, I was thrilled.The pods work perfectly - with the same nice crema on top. (I own an old Nespresso Essenza.) And the taste is delicious as expected from a Portland Roasting coffee. I prefer the medium roast (I also order the mediums in Nespresso, never the dark ones), but I saw Portland Roasting offers three different roasts in these pods, plus a decaf option.Portland Roasting is organic and fair trade - I appreciate that. Now, if they only make those pods recyclable!Portland Roasting, you've done it again. In a town where the coffee competition is steep, Portland Roasting has always been a solid option for me. Thank you for now catering to my Nespresso machine!

Make sure the coffe capsules your purchasing fit your coffee making machine,
These capsules are the smaller capsules that fit most nepresso machines but not mine which uses the larger capsules. The advertisement for them is misleading because it intimates that the capsules fit all nepresso machines and they don't fit mine and amazon refuses to take make the coffee containing capsules for whatever reason.

When the capsules don't crack the coffee is good
These capsules are the "push to open" style, but the surrounding plastic is so thin, that it splits down the side and leaks water into your cup. 80 % failure rate. Won't buy again. 2 stars only because the espresso actually tastes good.

NOT RETURNABLE & Do not work in machine
Unfortunately, these do NOT work and get stuck in the machine. Also, they are NOT refundable so I just lost almost $30 and have a product that I cannot use!

Good standard American Style Coffee
I like American coffee by the "mug full" while my wife likes creamier European style espressos. I really liked the Portland Roasting capsules - they were perfect to put on the "full size" cup machine setting. My wife thought they were not as creamy as the original Nespresso - so 5 stars from me and 3 from her... to even out at 4 stars!

This stuff is awesome. Really is good and love the different levels of intensity. I use the decaf for espresso martinis 😉
