My favorite!!

I wasn't expecting to like these much. You know, for those of us who love coffee, we all get used to our regular coffee, and substitutes don't always measure up. But I ran out of my regular coffee pods, and needing to not miss my coffee fix, I ordered these because they would arrive the soonest. I was desperate.They are good! In fact, when my regular coffee finally arrived, I missed these. I'm thinking when I need to order again, it will be these that I order.Now, you may be wondering how someone can say they love espresso, and in the same breath, talk about ESE coffee pods. Let me offer an analogy: The difference between a $5 bottle of wine and a $25 bottle of wine is very noticeable to me. The difference between a $25 bottle and a $100 bottle would not be so much. There's a certain level where anything higher end isn't going to matter to my limited taste buds. So in terms of coffee, when it comes to a >really good< ESE pod vs. a freshly ground, tamped shot of espresso, it can come pretty close, but at far less effort.I really liked these and will buy them again. I would strongly prefer an organic option.

It does fit properly to a espresso portafilter. Coffee taste is very good because it is an Illy product. However there's not too much crema. All in all highly recommended as it is easy to discard the pouch. No mess which is a big plus!

Love this Espresso! It is so easy to make, tastes fresh, and easy clean up! Highly recommend for a newbie at making espresso who wants to take the guess work out of making a latte! :)

excellent espresso from these ese pods- and soo easy to use and clean up. Now a real cappuccino is easier than a Koreug coffee!

These are not K cup pods and don't work in a Keurig. Item pulled up on Amazon when I searched K Cup. The picture of the Pod is hard to tell that it isn't the top of a K cup

These pods are perfect to make a cup of expresso.There is no mess since they come as a pre measured pod. The taste of the expresso is surprisingly good.

I purchased them in mid-April 2024, and upon checking, they were manufactured on February 23, 2024. Despite being a couple of months old, I find them to be in excellent condition. With an expiration date of February 2026, they appear to have a decent shelf life ahead.Having been a dedicated consumer of illy coffee for about two decades, I was eager to try out their E.S.E. pods. While I have long used illy's iperespresso capsules, I've become increasingly mindful of the environmental impact of plastic pods. Therefore, I was pleased to discover that the E.S.E. pods offer a more eco-friendly alternative. I purchased the new espresso machine from illy that can brew ground coffee and these E.S.E. pods. As someone who values both convenience and quality, I must say, they have exceeded my expectations.The Intenso Dark Roast, in particular, provides a strong and full-bodied flavor that I thoroughly enjoy, making it an ideal choice for my morning coffee fix. I highly recommend illy's E.S.E. pods to fellow coffee enthusiasts looking for a convenient and environmentally conscious brewing option.
