Consuelo Nespresso* compatible Capsules - Supremo, 100 coffee capsules (10x10)

I recently tried the Classico Variety of these pods and was pleasantly surprised - see my review against that product.Thought I would take a chance on these as according to the description they have a fruity balance and are 100% Arabica even though they are cheaper than the Classico?I found out why when they arrived. According to the producer they have a shelf life of 2 years - production date to BBE date - which is stretching things a bit!The ones I received have barely 5 months of shelf life left meaning they were roasted 19 months ago!To be fair the coffee they produce is not bad - it is drinkable - but it would have been a lot better and fruitier if it was about 12 months fresher no doubt.I have not had a problem with fit or leakage in my Krups Mini Essenza although I do agree they can pour very slowly - they do seem to be a slightly different design to the Classico ones but that could just be that they were using older blank pods!I won't be ordering these again and it would be fairer to the customer to actually state "we have reduced these because they are getting close to the BBE date"

I thought I’d give these a go as the price seemed reasonable. I tried the Lungo and the decaf.Taste-wise they are pretty good. It has a nice crema and a smooth finish.However... the capsules put a huge strain on my machine. The pump labours and the coffee comes out in a tiny stream - sometimes only in drops. It takes a long time to deliver the shot and the volume is a lot less that it should be.Even after running my machine through a cleaning cycle and trying different settings, it is still the same.Other capsules are fine - including the much cheaper (and great tasting) Happy Belly and Solimo capsules from Amazon.I am not sure if these capsules are causing damage or undue wear and tear to my machine so I have stopped using them.I'm going to stick to Amazon's brands. They taste better and are better value.

nothing special flavour and taste is average more or less same as Amazon branded coffee but higher price

I have to force the capsules inside the machine. I think are a little too big... I hope to not brake the coffee machine in one day.

The coffee in this product is absolutely fine. It doesn't possess the same depth of flavour as more expensive options, but you would not expect this at the price point. Makes a perfectly good espresso

Taste is not great but still good although a bit too bitter for me. For an average coffee at fair price it's ok. Cheaper price would make it a better buy.

Dont buy these. Good tasting coffee especially for the money but after 2 months use my Nespresso machine started to leak water. It was 4 years old and put it down to age, so purchased another one and 4 weeks later the same thing happened. It must be the pods putting to much pressure on the seal as they don't seem to let the coffee flow through as well as Nespresso pods.

Capsules have a lip that catches on most machines but coffee was fine
