Note d'Espresso - Arabica - Coffee Capsules - Exclusively Compatible with NESCAFE DOLCE GUSTO Capsule Machines - 96 caps

My wife is a fan of our pod machine, whereas I use an espresso machine. This means that, if she ever offers to make a coffee, I have the choice of accepting something not as good, or having to get up and make my own. But then we stumbled across these single origin, Guetamalan, coffee pods.The flavour is excellent, and comes a lot closer to giving true espresso a run for its money than I'd ever have believed was possible. It is full flavoured and really easy to drink at any time of the day.Don't waste your money on genuine Dolce Gusto branded pods, these are just so much better on every level, from the flavour to the great value for money. Whether you're an occasional coffee drinker or a full on fan, these are well worth your attention.

This is a great tasting coffee on a Par and possibly better than the Dolce Gusto Variety made by Nescafe. Coffee drinking is suited to palate so down to personal taste and I consider myself a coffee connoisseur, having stopped for a decade and then started again ! I was in two-minds about purchasing as I think the Dolce Gusto Cortado ranks as one of the best coffee pods of this sort of coffee, macchiato / cortado styles. However, I was not disappointed with the Note d'Espresso Cortado and would definitely buy again. If you enjoyed this feedback - I don't usually give product feedback then give me some kudos please by a thumbs up or thanks, or however it is ranked in Amazon. Stay safe and well & thank-you for reading

Many reviews quote water leaks and if my 5 year Jovia is anything to go by it is probably in the same state. Key here is maintenance! I read up on it when mine sprang a leak: two things, replace the easily replaceable 'Diffuser Plate' (about £12 Maddocks 65-TF-61 for Tefal, Dolce Gusto and others - Tefal Parts MS-622718 - from Amazon) and descale (bicarbonate of soda will do fine rather than the expensive propriety solutions). Solid fix! Sorted. We are all guilty of thinking these machines will perform as they did out of the box forever - they don't. If the Note pods are slightly different in their manufacturing tolerances from the original, it will be highlighted in the seal not contacting fully enough and hence a leak. This is a known issue when the unit becomes a little tired anyway - not the fault of the pods per se. Good coffee and good price. Nice.UPDATE: Feb23 Note d'Espresso - Arabica - Coffee Capsules specifically... these are great pods with great coffee and my personal favourite. I had a subscription they were so good! Unfortunately things went pair shaped a few months ago when they were no longer available for some reason and we're not listed on Amazon. I'm glad to say they're back, but not on subscription as not an option now I see (may be supply chain issues?) and the price has risen by 20%! I shall be placing an order though as for 96 capsules, they're still good value. That coffee aroma is calling to me...

I use a Gusto mini me by Nescafé. I'm in love with any type of mocha but wanted a cheaper alternative.For my personal preference it was not chocolaty enough, which is funny as I usually add extra coffee.I did not see any instructions on what settings so it was touch and go, for me. After reading through reviews most people would say it's too weak so I tried it on setting 4. This was still quite weak for my taste but still drinkable.I then tried it on line 3 which brang out the right amount of taste but I like abit of sweetness to my drink and it still wasn't milky enough. Not to mention the quantity you get is still rather small.I now whenever I'm making this use two capsules at level 3 water which I think is 100mls. I also put sugar in the cup and milk before adding the product; which kind of makes it not as valuable as I initially felt.I found the flavour with the right measurement and extras to be quite nice. I wouldn't compare it quite to a top scale coffee like Starbucks but does reach the standards of a local cafe so not too bad for something you can make in your kitchen.

I have been using Note d'Espresso tea pods for some time now and have been quite pleased with them. After doing a little searching I noticed that they did coffee pods as well, so decided to buy a selection. I do wonder if they actually test their products as the coffee pods are simply not fit for purpose.The flow rate out of the pods is a trickle and thus the pods fills up with pressurised hot water, this in turn softens the glue used to seal the foil caps on the pods which in turn causes them to burst and flood the machine is a mixture of coffee and hot water. I thought well maybe it was a one off, so I tried two pods from each batch I had purchased and they all produced the same result.I’m using the Dolce Gusto Majesto Professional machine but even that could not cope with these pods. Tried one in a family member’s standard Dulce Gusto machine and promptly covered their kitchen counter in muddy looking hot water.It’s a real shame that Note d'Espresso would sell these pods in the condition they are in, I really thought I was onto a winner here after using a heap of their tea pods without a problem. Would I recommend them? Absolutely not, maybe if they fix the problem with their coffee pods I might re-visit them, but right now I’ve had to return all the pods as they don’t work and are not safe.
