LavazzaEspresso Maestro Decaf (DEK) Aluminum Capsules Compatible with Nespresso* Original Machines, Medium Espresso Roast, Arabica and Robusta Blend (60 Capsules)

I have always found Lavazza coffee to be among my favorite. During a recent hotel stay, there was a lavazza coffee machine in my room, similar to a Nespresso machine but with proprietary capsules made only for the Lavazza machine. The decaf coffee from that machine was fabulous and I’ve been wishing for it ever since. I found these capsules made for the original Nespresso machine and bought them immediately. I’ve had my first cup and I can say the Nespresso version is nearly identical to the Lavazza version I enjoyed in the hotel. The Lavazza version has a slight edge in richness and strength, but this is close enough that I’m happy. And the capsules are a great value compared to Nespresso branded capsules. If you enjoy Lavazza coffee, buy these right away.

Being Lavazza, of course they taste great. But about 10% fail, yeilding no color or flavor, which I've never had happen with any other Original pods.

Great coffee

They absolutely ruined the pods when they switched from plastic to aluminum. It's a great idea of course, but the water flow level is now so low the machine stops brewing prematurely or the flow is so low it takes forever to brew a cup. Either way this is not great for the consumer. Also, this item cannot be returned even though clearly defective. Zero stars.

A solid decaf option that doesn’t taste weak or watery. It’s got a nice balance of flavor, and for the price, it’s a great deal compared to other brands!

I've tried almost every Original Nespresso Decaf pod on the market and these pods taste amazing. I drink my coffee black most days and these pods taste more expensive than they really are. They have floral and fruity notes that are missing in most other brands. They do not hold up great with syrups or milks in my opinion, but again I like my coffee black. I prefer a darker roast versus the Lavazza's medium roast for at home lattes.The biggest problem I have with these pods and why I gave it a 3 star is because they are very inconsistent in how much coffee they make. I'm writing this review after using up all the pods in the set. My Nespresso struggles to push water through the grounds and I have had to throw out 5-6 pods because the water will not go through. Inspecting the pod, it was pierced properly but maybe it was packed so tight that it did not allow for water flow. When they do work, oftentimes it will sputter out only half a shot. The stream of coffee is very slow and very small compared to other pods I've tried. At best, I only get about 3/4 shot each time. That being said, the coffee tastes very concentrated and is tasty so I just add water to get the volume I'm looking for. It sucks that I have to use multiple pods to get the same volume that I get with other pods, but it's still cheaper than buying a coffee.

Daughter gave me a set of 4 espresso cups and little spoons so I ordered these cups that work with the Nespresso machine. It is delicious decaf espresso. Very creamy. Lovely to sip after a long work day.If you don't have the Nespresso machine, slice off the top with a sharp knife, pour the coffee into a reuseable K Cup and brew on the Keurig's lowest volume setting.Don't forget to recycle the aluminum cups!
