Roastesso - Espresso Coffee Capsules (Variety Pack, 10 Count (Pack of 8))

I am admittedly a bit of a coffee snob (certainly not James Hoffman-level, but a guy has to have standards) . The fact I sometimes use a Nespresso Essenza MIni machine at all is merely a testament to my laziness - sometimes, you just want to push a button and *presto* you have coffee.My favorite coffees are usually from Latin America, and Guatemalan beans are among the best coffees I have ever found. I admit I had medium hopes for decent Guatemalan espresso from a capsule, but I was very surprised to find this was actually very good.Better than any other Nespresso original compatible capsules I have found. This is deliciously rich, and the chocolate/sugarcane flavor I so love about Guatemalan coffees is indeed present, although I will admit it feels like something ay have been added to enhance it.Still, on a scale of 0-10, where 0 is the cup of stale decaf I had this afternoon (different review - came from a third party seller - oops), and 10 is a cup of Urth Caffe Guatemalan Four Estates Organic Fair Trade coffee (sadly, extremely hard to get lately), this is a solid 7.I should note that number is the highest I have ever rated any Nespresso-compatible capsule coffee. For reference, Starbucks standard dark espresso capsules are a 6, and are about as good as you can normally get from a capsule. I am very glad I tried these--I would be even happier if they added these to subscribe and save so I could save a few bucks.Highly recommended.

Bought this and I am satisfied with my purchase, works well with my Nespresso Inissia, you can used recommended ristretto or espresso sizes or brew as lungo, quality coming out of the Nespresso is good. Highly recommend this brand. Value hands down, this coffee brewed with the Nespresso still has the crema that name brand coffee boasts it has (keep in mind it’s the machine you use)

So... I'm kinda weird (i think?) in that I prefer NESPRESSO to real espresso.Usually, I don't love straight espresso- like from a cafe. I like it w/ sugar or as a macchiato (a real macchiato! not the fake ass starbucks kind), but a straight espresso is too bitter and too 'sandy'. Nespresso, typically, on the other hand, to me, tastes kinda like liquid candy! Like... often i need to cut myself off because I want to drink 11 of them, but then I get sick and sweaty and anxious from caffeine overdose.Anyway... to me, these pods taste like REAL espresso! Like more gritty and more earthy and more 'hair on your chest' than a NESPRESSO branded NESPRESSO pod.So.... I had three of these today. It's certainly delicious, but not as delicious as a Kazaar or Dharkaan IMHO. But I liked this pod overall. I also think it'd be a GREAT choice for cappucino or machitao or iced latte. Also, because I think a nespresso-based latte tends to taste too smooth and too easy, this would be a stronger, badass latte.Bottom line- if you enjoy your whiskey neat, if you have ever worked on a car, if you own rope, if you can drive a stick shift, I reccomend these pods.Also... 30 cents per pod!!!! yassss

Better than I had even hoped. I bought one of the variety packs and have tried each flavor. I can't decide which I like best as they were all very tasty. I have tried all of the Nespresso original coffees and enjoy them, but have to say that I enjoy Roastesso even more! The fact that the cost is practically half of what Nespresso costs makes it even more enjoyable. I look forward to trying the other varieties of Roastesso coffee.

If Roastesso's capsule design wasn't defective, these would be an excellent value. Simply can't beat the price at 40c per pod for good coffee. The Cubano is my favorite, it has a very thick, smooth, creamy body with a tall head leaving beautiful lacing in the cup, and is very tasty and complex. I take my coffee black, so flavor is very important. The Colombian tastes more like ordinary drip coffee. Guatemalan is in-between in complexity.The issue, like many others suffer, is that the pod does not seal in my Breville Essenza. So coffee spills out from the insides of the machine filling the spent pod tray, some of it making it under the tray and out onto the counter. So much leaks out that at least a quarter of the pour and maybe more is lost. Customers have been complaining for years yet the company hasn't bothered to improve the pod design.

Absolute, HANDS DOWN, BEST Nespresso pods my family has ever tried ( we’ve tried them ALL) smooth, delicious, espresso with a wonderful and beautiful crema.We LOVE the fact that this is a family owned and operated company. Makes us feel good to support them.We’ve run out and then, and have to run to Publix for some overpriced Starbucks, Lavazza or Peet’s (my ex fave) and get the usual “ Ma!! when are you reordering the ROASTESSO??!!”

Bought on a whim -- Cuban coffee just sounded good -- and it is! Creamy pour, impressive crema , full rich flavor -- what's not to like? Since it's not a Prime item I expected to wait a bit for delivery, but I received it in Seattle all the way from Florida in a couple of days - as fast as some of my Prime purchases. Lovely welcome/thank you note from seller and I will definitely be repurchasing. This is worth a try if you're in the market for Cuban.

This is my second batch with them, the coffee taste so good and creamy I love it . I consider myself a repetitive customer great quality and good value for the money.
