50 Jones Brothers Nespresso Compatible Coffee Capsules - Premium Quality 100% Pure Arabica - (ENIGMA - Expresso, 50 Count)

I've worked as a barista for 3.5 years, loved Nespresso's Ristretto/Arpeggio/Dharkan/Kazaar capsules (though my college tuition doesn't), and I was looking for a more affordable alternative. While this espresso isn't necessarily undrinkable, it's surprisingly mild to weak and a lot brighter than I was expecting (though a relatively smooth finish). I've blind-tested it on 3 other barista co-workers + my roommate, and they reached a very similar consensus. Again, these are definitely okay for the money, but certainly not better than other alternatives. Speaking of which, the only other alternative I've really liked is Artizan Coffee's White Rhino and Cuba Mia (Rhino is pretty good, absolutely love the Cuba). Please let me know if you've found other tasty & affordable alternatives!

I really like this coffee. I'm about a year in to my conversion from keurig to nespresso. I think the quality of a nespresso brew is far superior than that of the keurig, however if you are a chronic coffee drinker as I , you will go broke buying Nespresso brand pods. I have been sampling some other companies nespresso compatible pods , and while far less money, they were also lacking in the flavor and quality department. That is until I found Jones Bros. it's just great coffee at a great price. I highly recommend to this product for someone looking for an alternate to Nespresso.

I LOVE my nespresso coffee and was wary of nespresso compatible products due to many reviews saying they were just OK when compared. My favorite thing about nespresso is it is a espresso full of flavor with a good layer of crema. When I stumbled upon this product I saw posts saying the pods were flavorful and had good layer of crema, I was skeptical but checked out the pictures that were posted as well and it appeared to have that same thick delicious layer of foam as nespresso. I ordered it and popped my first pod in this morning. I was not disappointed. It is delicious, full of flavor, creamy and foamy. The perfect cup of coffee.

I have a Nepresso expresso machine and I have been buying the Nepresso pods now for 5 years, I have tried different pods to see if they stand up to the quality of nepresso's pods, and this is the first brand that I feel does. I still feel that Nepresso is the best but this brand is very good, in fact the coffee is much more mellow and what I mean by that is it does not leave a bitter taste in the mouth, it is quite smooth and delicious and I do not feel overly stimulated by the caffeine. It has the crema on the top but not as thick as Nespresso's. I have only tried the Revive and the Enigma thus far, but I bought the Variety pack so still need to try gigola, Noir and the elevate. For the price and quality I think this coffee is better. I just hope they do not raise the price once they have a strong following!

Like many users of Nespresso coffeemakers, I've looked for suitable substitutes for the expensive Nespresso coffee pods. I've tried at least 4 different brands ordered from Amazon, and a few that I've brought back from Europe (where they're easily available in grocery stores!). I ordered the Jones Brothers variety pack which gave me a chance to try out the different strengths. While I found the Elevate (blue capsule) undrinkable, the others were good. My absolute favorite is the Gigolo. I thought the strength at 12 might be too bitter, but I found it exceptionally smooth and strong - just what I wanted! I will be ordering this again...and again...and again!

I recently purchased the Kitchenaid Nespresso machine (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00U2P04IG/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_66) and with it came a variety of capsules. I have a few friends who also indulge in Nespresso, so I asked around what capsules they all prefer. Not one of them recommended anything but the Nespresso brand. So, I thought I would be the guinea pig. Not there is anything wrong with the Nespresso capsule, I have enjoyed them all for different reasons, but I just like to explore and try all of my options.I am on my second cup of Jones Brothers, and I have to say that both cups have the same creamy and frothiness of the Nespresso, and the flavor is rich, smooth, and even a little less biting than Nespresso equivalent. The pods themselves are plastic, and not aluminum, so not recyclable, but I am digging a little more to see if they are environment friendly. We are going to do a blind taste tomorrow morning -

So far every pod I have tried from this assortment is bland, weak, with no body. I miss my real nespresso or Peets pods that have actual body to the espresso. After this box I will switch back to Peets or real pods. I had really high hopes for these based on the verified reviews, however I am shocked. Honestly these pods are pretty bad... literally no mouthfeel or body, they all taste the same- which was shocking. I've been cringing every morning trying to drink these, I'm a 1/3 of the way through this assortment, I may just toss the rest of the box honestly.

Cheaper option. However! After a long time I’ve decided to order nespresso and realized wow! They do taste different. But if you want to save money then I guess this could be it. But taste wise. Go with nespresso. Nespresso so have a richer thick taste to it. While this product is good enough. I do will order this again tho. I also like that they have flavors bundle. One thing I couldn’t understand is why they are in so many plastics bag??I also asked one person that is from Europe and asked if this product is good and he told me yes. But that one person opinion haha.So how I do, is My husband and I drink this on most day. when it’s special occasion like the weekend together or family visiting, my husband and I would drink the Nespresso.
