Decaf Coffee Espresso Capsules 100% from Italy Intensity 11

It should be obvious that you're not going to get the quality of espresso from these capsules that you would with a Nespresso brand capsule. You get what you pay for but these Mixpresso capsules are good for the price. The depth of flavor, richness and aftertaste are decent though not equal to Nespresso. I have enjoyed the Mixpresso capsules and will order them again. I have had much worse espresso in local coffee shops.

About one out of every four capsules fails in the coffee machine. The aluminum seal breaks loose (see photo), and coffee grounds spread throughout the machine. This makes a mess. Also, the loose grounds seem to interfere with the machine's operation causing it to feed through too much water which leads to the coffee cup overflowing. Once a capsule seal has broken in the machine, a great deal of effort has to be devoted to cleaning the machine to restore reliable operation. I have used several other brands (Peet's, Amazon, Starbuck's, etc.), and none had this problem that plagues the Mixpresso capsules. Other than that, the coffee flavor was acceptable.

I was totally disappointed in the taste and quality of this coffee. First, it is not totally compatible with my Nespresso machine. Second, the taste was stale. I was excited for the reasonable price of this item and the fact that it was decaffeinated, but after tasting several of the capsules, it was not good. I was most disappointed in the fact that it did fit well with the Nespresso machine.

Very responsive people at Mixpresso. I have been drinking their four blends for over a year now, one of which is decaf espresso. They are all very good, and distinctively different intensities. Needing to cut down on caffeine, the decaf espresso is bold, and rich in flavor. I have tried other brands, but none comes close. The people at Mixpresso quickly responded to a small problem of receipt of about-to-expire boxes, with a full refund and a complimentary shipment to replace the boxes I had ordered. Both in quality and responsiveness,I recommend Mixpresso. highly.

DO NOT BUY. Pods are so poorly manufactured that every single one leaked in the machine. I made a normal shot with other pods right before and after and the other pods worked fine (so it wasn’t the machine or user). This resulted in tiny shots that tasted off, and the overflow tray filling completely after 2 shots.

These are Nespresso compatible coffee pods which are fresh and flavorful. I like the fact that they are individually foil wrapped and when you open them the coffee aroma wafts up to greet you assuring you they are fresh. I recommend this product becuase the coffe is fresh and they are much less expensive than Nespresso capsules.

The coffee itself tastes decent, but I have a terribly low success rate using the pods in my nespresso machine. I'm finding that only around 1/4 of the pods successfully brew. Most spit out a small amount of water and then stop early without finishing. I suspect it has to do with the plastic the pods are made from failing to puncture properly. Other third-party pods I've tried have a softer back (paper or foil) to puncture more easily.

Does not work well with my Nespresso original line. Flavor is good when it does sometimes come out.
