Grano Milano Variety Pack with Decaf - 50 Coffee Pods Compatible with Nespresso Original line - Medium & Dark Roast Coffee Capsules Made in Italy Espresso Coffee

Older Original-Line machines like my Nespresso D300, that punch a center hole in the capsule, are NOT compatible with this product because it's made of plastic. The plastic just cracks (see photo). The genuine Nespresso capsules are aluminum and work perfect with center hole punch machines. Most newer Original-Line machines punch several smaller holes off-center and should work fine with plastic capsules.UPDATE: The company web site acknowledges several machines that don't work."Our capsules are not suitable for the following models: VertuoLine Nespresso Machines, Siemens Machines, Saeco Machines, Dolce Gusto Machines, Miele Machines, Jura Machines, Commercial Nespresso Machines, Espresso Coffee Machines (e.g. Krups F89...)."

Never ever include decaf coffee in an order. People should have to special request that.

I was very excited about theses capsules, but unfortunately they turned out to be a nightmare!-The package arrived damaged, coffee was spilled all over the boxes and bag.-Capsules it self punctured super easily and made a mess in my machine. It took multiple rinse cycles and cleaning to get it back in shape.-You could never feel the real taste of this espresso because particles and espresso grounds kept spilling into the cup, leaving a bitter taste in your mouth.I would advise to stay away from this product until major improvements is done by the manufacturer.

Not nespresso compatible! What a waste of money! Half were open and busted in the package.

Coffee is great I like the Crema! 4**** ----HOWEVER---- even though the product description states it is compatible with original Nespresso machine it does not press the foil on the top. I have to use a fork to make holes. It does puncture through the thicker bottom part though. Disappointed in this product. So wanted an alternative to the higher priced Nespresso. You get what you pay for. I have no trouble with the "Nespresso Brand" pods. I was trying to save a few dollars, guess it is back to Nespresso Brands.

I wanted to try these because the price was much lower than the ones I had been receiving. The variety pack is nice. There's only one flavor that I'm not too fond of. It reminded me of 'family restaurant' coffee. Since I usually make myself a double espresso, my solution was to just use one of my brand name pods and mix it with one of these. Out of the variety pack, there was only one flavor that I didn't like that much and the others are actually pretty good as a stand alone flavor. And since my kiddos like to have an espresso with me, you don't feel so bad letting them have a couple since they're more affordable than actual Nespresso brand. Crazy enough, the caffeine mellows them out and helps them focus in the mornings 😁

This is by far better tasting coffee than original Nespresso, and so much cheaper. The only downside is we started drinking more coffee. No issue with plastic capsules at all. I have a KitchenAid Nespresso machine and none of the capsules failed so far.

Smooth.. These espresso capsules work perfectly in any original Nespresso machine.The “Crema” is the foam that rests on top of a freshly pulled shot of espresso. The Crema also reflects the freshness and quality of the coffee. With very subtle notes of chocolate, spice, citrus and nuts that can be found in various capsules depending accordingly, these are delicious. The best taste of any available and better than that the price. There’s nothing worse than a cheap espresso capsule that’s crap. This is the winner for flavor, freshness and price.

I ordered, I received the package and it looked class. It is Italian after all. But in my head I am thinking 'Well, if you could invest more on the coffee rather than the box...'. Anyway, I slot two capsules in our Krups machine for the wife and I. Made the coffee and took our first sip.I can't explain what I went thru but the flavour.... hit us out of the blue. Stunned, I suppose the emotion was one of surprise and elation that you've discovered such a brilliant coffee. I used to grind fresh coffee but when I got my Nespresso, I just stopped as there are flavours (some) out there that makes you not want to grind fresh coffee anymore.This pod (Crema) is one of those flavours. Like a good Cigar, it's full bodied flavour will leave you satisfied.Buy it and enjoy!

Having used L’OR and Starbucks compatible aluminium capsules for a while, I thought I would try these Gran Milano ones, based on all the positive reviews. I was a little nervous about trying these because the last plastic compatible capsules I bought (from a local independent shop) were responsible for breaking my first Krups Nespresso U machine. After going through first 10 Gran Milano pods, I think I may have made a mistake buying these and I won’t be getting any more. My new Nespresso U machine makes some unpleasant sounds when loading the plastic Gran Milano pods and I fear it may suffer the same fate as my first machine if i keep using them. By contrast, the L’OR and Starbucks aluminium capsules appear almost identical to Nespresso originals and are loaded smoothly by my Nespresso U without any unpleasant sounds. Also, for some reason the amount of coffee dispensed by my Nespresso using these Gran Milano pods is not always consistent.I have posted photos showing Gran Milano and Starbucks capsules side by side for comparison.Regarding the flavour, these Crema pods are nice enough, but certainly no nicer than some of the L’OR or Starbucks varieties.

We got a Nespresso before the lockdown for my Mum & Dad too have an easier way to make a latte, at the beginning of the year. And since then we've stuck with the Amazon solimo brand.Over the past year or so I've started to notice a greater reaction to coffee. Whereas I used to live on espresso all day & night, now if I drink it past about 6pm I find it difficult to sleep.But I still fancy a coffee in the evenings and Solimo don't have a decaf option. So I bought these to try. And I was pleasantly surprised, the code is full flavoured and has no unpleasant aftertaste.

We have waited until we had drank at least 100 coffee's before writing a review. We are probably at 130 now and no issues with the pods at all. everyone has gone through the machine without issue.We currently have a £45 subscription with Nespresso but it is just not enough and we frequently end up shopping for more in local stores. Lidl's yuk, Starbucks, constantly having issues with the pods not working in the machine, The best we found where Tesco's own brand and Lor. But the Grano Milano surpass theseWe started with a variety pack and finding we liked the coffees bought another to work out which flavour we prefered best, and have now settled on the supremo. Everyone to there own taste.As a passing note even the decaf needs a thumbs up and i usually do not like decaf at all.

Had a hard time finding any decaf coffee pods on Amazon but it was worth scrolling through a few pages to get to these. The coffee itself has a good taste, it’s pretty strong, as you’d expect, but not at all bitter or unpleasant as can sometimes happen. No problems using this with our Nespresso machine either - fits perfectly and pierces easily so the coffee all comes out of the pod and comes out properly. Not the pathetic dribble you sometimes get with some pods which literally takes an age come out of the machine. Would buy again.
