L'OR Nespresso Original line compatible Aluminium Capsules Set of 5 Flavours Variety Pack 50 Pods

I've tried a lot of compatible pods-- for price, partially, but mostly for variety. I drink way too many Nespressos per day and I like some variety but not by sacrificing flavor-- so i've always returned to Nespresso since, even when others are 'okay', they aren't good enough. These are superb, fantastic, delicious. They aren't much cheaper, so that's not the appeal. the appeal is the quality and flavor. Absolutely delicious, rich, layered flavor, texture, good crema.

I just placed my second order for these. I've had my Nespresso machine for about 6 months, so am sampling all the alternatives to the manufacturer's Grands Crus line. I love strong, bold coffee, and the L'OR brand is that. In fact, the Ristretto in their selection is very much comparable to my favorite Kazaar from Nespresso.In my opinion, the LOR brand is top notch, and though not as inexpensive as some of the other knock-off brands, it's still an excellent value. The aluminum capsules make a huge difference, both in freshness and in the way coffee is pumped through the machine. The other brands I try are somewhat hit and miss as far as the volume of coffee and the speed at which it is pumped through the machine. A few brands I've tried have had capsules that don't pump at all, or they sound like they are going to hurt the machine. Not L'OR. These work like the Nespresso capsules.

I had never heard of L'or until I took a trip to Australia. The hotel we stayed at had a Nespresso machine in the room, and offered L'or capsules for it for free. I have a Nespresso at home, and have tried other off-brands, but was never satisfied with either the flavor of the product or the performance of the capsule, which was usually some sort of plastic.Since I really enjoyed the quality and flavor of the L'or capsules while in Australia, I wanted to find them for purchase back home in the U.S. Gosh, I love Amazon! I was so happy to find them here. I ordered the variety pack, received them in perfect condition, and they work great in my Nespresso machine at home. Could not be any happier with my purchase.

Purchased L'OR Nespresso Original Line espresso capsules. Capsules were shipped in the original boxes - great. The boxes themselves were shipped in a Ziploc bag - not so great. The boxes were crumpled to the point that at least 8 out of the 50 capsules were so damaged they would not work in my Nespresso Inissia machine (haven't tried all the capsules yet so might be more than 8 that don't work). The coffee is good when the capsules work. The capsules themselves remind me of Peet's Nespresso capsules, but the Peet's capsules always arrive undamaged so might stick with those.

As an aftermarket Nespresso compatible pod, these are the best tasting I've tried, and nearly as good as the Nespresso brand.Unfortunately, the L'OR Nespresso Original line capsules are the same price (.70/each) as many of the Nespresso pods, so there is no real incentive to use these "almost as good" pods over the original products. Interesting to note that my relatives in Australia can get these for half this cost somehow, but I've yet to find any such deals here.

This is the best Nespresso alternative I have tried and trust me I did my best to sample everything that Amazon has to sell :) I agree with another review that these capsules tend to have a quite strong flavor, they are all pretty dark

These are exactly the same caps as Peets, L'or, TJs, Illy capsules.All and many more are made by the same company (Jacobs Douwe Egberts).(I'm not sure where Nespresso or Starbucks caps are made).I can't discern a flavor difference (between the brands). All that I named are good.All aluminum caps can be recycled.Buy for best price.

They are a bit cheaper than the standard Nespresso line, but I think comparable or a little better in taste. The packaging/compatibility is also equal to Nespresso, since they are the aluminum pods and don't seem to have the occasional issues I see with the plastic ones.

I've tried many pods from many brands and so far L'OR pods are the only non-Nespresso pods, that fit Nespresso machines properly without leaking!! Their coffee's are all very smooth and well refined, no coarseness or dodgy flavours, I'm happy they match the quality of Nespresso's own pods and often to be bought at less than half the price of the Genuine Nespreso pods...

Love L’Or instant, it’s the only coffee I buy so when I saw these and noticed they were cheaper than the originals I thought I’d give them a go....defo not disappointed, the taste is great and no issues using them in my machine.

I like these coffees, my only gripe is the pods could do with being slightly thicker as some buckle and can't be used. It's why I gave it 4. If the pods were sorted. I would give them a 5.

I have tried one flavour of these before but fancied trying the "selection box" - a little more expensive than buying all the same but still good value for money and the only decent alternative to the more expensive Nespresso own pods.

Bought as a Christmas present for my husband. No complaints. He said they are really good.
