Peet's CoffeeDark and Medium Roast Espresso Capsules Variety Pack with Decaf, Compatible with Nespresso Original Machine - Intensity 8-11, 50 Count (5 Boxes of 10 Espresso Capsules)

When I normally purchased Nespresso pods in the past, I would always go for the Nespresso signature line of dark roast coffee. I made the decision recently to branch out and try different coffee companies and flavors. I chose the Peet’s coffee espresso pods because it is a familiar name that normally excels at dark roast coffee and coffee in general so I thought what “could go wrong?” When the pods arrived, I opened the package and found very nice packaging that individually sets the pods in the cardboard and secures them. Many people will say that Peet’s is a high-brow name that just has recognition, but doesn’t really back it up enough with regards to quality to justify the cost of the purchase. To those people I simply say to try them out and reevaluate your opinion! From the first cup of coffee I had on the day that I received the coffee to the cup I just had this morning, the coffee has been very good. I find the flavor profile to be extremely smooth, but still had the kick and bite we all look for in a good cup of espresso. The color of the coffee is a rich and dark color with a nice light brown foam on the top. The aroma is unmistakable. It smells exactly like a coffee shop in my kitchen each morning when I send another pod through the Nespresso and I couldn’t be happier about it. I usually drink my coffee as an addition to a dark cold brew I make over ice. I am not sure if this is the proper way to drink the coffee, but it works well for me and that’s all that really matters. The coffee is delicious and blends in extremely well with the dark cold brew I make at home. Beyond my “normal” cup of coffee, I will have these Peet’s coffee pods straight up and alone and they are still just as good, if not better. Once, the coffee cools down enough to drink, you will find that each cup is incredibly rich and creamy with a bold, strong coffee flavor that tastes just like grabbing a cup when in Venice, but at home! The packaging on the Crema Scura blend reads “thick and luxurious espresso offers full bodied, earthy, nutty notes balanced by a creamy enduring finish.” I don’t think they could have hit the nail on the head any more than that. The richness of this blend stands out among the rest. Most of the negative reviews that I see are issues that individual customers have had regarding their quality control. Most of these negative reviews are calling into question the freshness of the coffee they received. I read a lot of reviews from people that received either expired or very close to expired coffee. One reviewer wrote “The sell by date is within less than months. It would be better if we were informed in advance.” I did not have this experience, but it is something that either the company or the distributor should take note of as this almost swayed me from the purchase. All in all, I think this was very good coffee that was neatly packaged and met all of my expectations and even exceeded them in many ways. I would recommend giving this coffee a shot!https://www.amazon.com/Peets-Coffee-Intensity-Compatible-Nespresso/dp/B07DDLCWJF/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8Item: Peet’s Espresso Nespresso pods

Peet's Coffee dark roast espresso capsules are a perfect treat. Nice and bold, don't jam my nespresso machine.

Great taste and no complaints at all from any of our guests

Mixed strengths were less than desired since we love a strong coffee, but we love Pete’s.

They're still recyclable (get a press that gets the grounds out, and you can use those for compost) and the per-shot price is great for what you get. Been a fan of Peet's pods for years.

I love my Nespresso espresso coffee machine. But I don’t always want to pay the higher cost of Nespresso coffee pods unless they are on sale. I also love PEETS coffee. These pods are perfect for this machine. Thank you both to Nespresso for making coffee easy to make and for both coffee company’s on making a great cup of coffee.

The different varieties of flavors makes your morning choices interesting.

Once by big box membership club stopped selling these, I turned to Amazon. Best deal on great coffee. I can’t tell the difference in the flavors but enjoy the taste plain or with milk
