Customer Reviews

Best Value
I have a $400 Briel Espresso machine and have tried Caffe D'arte, Espresione, Illy, Starbucks, Espresso Pod Sampler, and the Kona Espresso Pods. The Caffe D'arte in my opinion are best in value and taste when it comes to everyday espresso. I typically drink two to three cups a day. They are the cheapest per pod, of the ones I tried, with consistant taste and crema. However, for ultimate home espresso or if budget is not a concern I would recommend the Kona Espresso Pods. They are the most expensive per pod but in my opinion, the best by far. All pods mentioned however, are very good and vary in price.

All pods mentioned are E.S.E. pods (easy serving espresso). Ensure that your machine is an E.S.E. pod system for these to work. There are some espresso machines that have their own pod size system.

Great for the Casual Drinker
I am a coffee drinker but sometimes stray away for a nice cappucino. I have a very inexpensive Hamilton Beach espresso/cappucino maker so I have never considered buying any high priced espresso to run through it. I have lived off of the Illy pads as my source for consistent cappucinos but decided to give these a try based on the price.

I have found these pods to be no different from the Illy pods when using my machine. The espresso comes out the same color and with virtually the same crema on it with every pod I've used. The taste is a bit lighter than the standard Illy pods I've used but, for me, it is a pleasant light taste. If you like a strong espresso flavor, this is not the pod for you.

I am very good at distinguishing various single estate coffees but have never been good at telling the different between a cappucino made by Starbucks, small coffee shop, at home or Dunking Donu.....OK maybe not Dunkin Donuts! I think that part of the reason is that I do not drink straight espresso. I would probably notice a difference between these pods and, say..an expensive espresso bean that is feshly roasted and ground. However, with all the steamed milk that goes into a cappucino, it reducues the coffe down so much that it is just hard to tell the difference.

For the casual drinker like myself, I don't think you can go wrong with these pods. If you are a "snob" like I am with my regular coffee, and drink straight espresso, you should probably look elsewhere.

Excellent taste - Great price
I am pretty picky about my coffee and found these to be right on the mark. I have tried several brands and find the flavor to be excellent - and my machine (Krups) likes it (not true with all other brands). Do not be surprised when the box comes (it is large...).
