Great pods. The bad reviews are simply people trying to use them in the WRONG machines. These are Nespresso Original Line pods. They don't work in a Ninja, Keurig, Nespresso Vertuo etc.

No more Starbucks! We have the Nespresso Creatista made by Breville — love it!! These Lavazza pods work perfectly every time, great flavor, decent crema, but no bitterness like BigBucks. My daughter is a night ER RN, she can pull four shots and make a quad drink for $2.00, lasts all night, and it's delicious!!!

excellent

I like these pods. They're good tasting and affordable. I took off a star because they were close to the expiration date.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I could only get 1 pod of 5 different pods to brew. Every time I tried to brew it, the pod would just get crushed and the machine would say add water when it was completely full. The coffee pods are clearly poor quality and the one that did brew wasn’t good. I see why it was on sale. Too good to be true.

Did not work for me either. They just get smashed inside the machine and barely brew any coffee and I thought my machine was going to die because of how much water was getting stuck inside.

The taste is fine but they do not work well in the Ninja as they do not sit correctly and just get smashed and causes problems with the machine. I will be buying the Starbucks ones again as I am not impressed with how many I have had throw away as they do not work.

IF it works correctly, it's not bad. However, I feel we've thrown most away as the material of the pod appears to be too flimsy and just gets smashed in the machine. I've never had this issue with other brands.
