I was hoping to replace Starbucks/Peet’s with the Nespresso. It doesn’t. I drink Americanos, black. I can tell that what comes out of the Nespresso machine is not espresso. Americanos will last for days in the fridge and taste exactly the same as when you got it. The shots from Nespresso are only good as soon as they come out. After they cool, they taste awful! In fact, they taste awful faster than simple coffee!
The pods themselves aren’t very good, and I’ve gone through all the various pod varieties. Mostly, they lack body and flavor. I simply don’t get the coffee-ness compared to store made Americanos. There’s even variation within the same flavor. The current Dulsao is awesome, or so I thought. When I bought it again, I wasn’t that impressed. I thought it was weak. I suspect if they put more coffee grounds in the pods, things might be better.
And here’s a really big problem: I don’t think they have as much caffeine as store bought Americanos. I drink 5 pods a day; my body feels like it’s gotten plenty of coffee (feels a little toxic), but I get absolutely no caffeine buzz. Absolutely nothing. I do get the caffeine rebound headache though, if I stop. And I have insomnia if I have pods at night. This is like drinking a neutered drug. Absolutely no brain power. And, here’s another weird thing, store made Americanos don’t keep me up at night, even if I drink it just before bed.
The cost is expensive for the amount I’m drinking. So, I going to buy probably the Gaggia and make espresso manually.

Nice to have fresh coffee anytime I want.
I suggest buy lots of capsules with the product. You will want to make coffee a lot.

We bought this for my 82 year old mother who couldn’t handle a regular espresso machine and loves lattes. It is not only as simple to use as promised, but makes amazing lattes! We are now buying another one for my husband’s mother.
