Consuelo Dolce Gusto* Compatible Capsules - Cortado, 96 capsules (16X6)

These capsules are advertised as Dolce Gusto machine compatible Italian coffee, cappuccino capsules.They are an insult to Italian coffee...….. they would be an insult to a 1950s sea-front UK frothy coffee barThey are not cappuccino capsules by any stretch of the imagination....They are all-in-one instant sugar, coconut oil, glucose syrup, milk powder, very cheap instant coffee powder and cocoa powder capsules..... and they are ghastly.They are barely coffee at all ……. only 10% of the capsule is coffee and it is a very cheap tasting Happy Shopper powdered instant coffee.The vast majority of the capsule is sugars of various forms and they are sickeningly sweet...…… we're talking condensed milk with added sugar syrup level of sweetness here...……….I doubt even a child would find them appealing to the palate.And because they are not proper pods with separate coffee and milk....you cannot adjust the strength to suit your palate …..You can't make a macchiato or cappuccino by altering the order you use the milk pod.You are stuck with foul levels of odd tasting sweetness.I have only once complained about the quality of various coffee and milk pods I have had from Amazon...… but these Consuelo pods are revolting and would be a rip-off at a tenth of the price...…. i don't want glucose syrup, coconut oil or cocoa powder in a jar of instant coffee and I certainly don't want it in so called cappuccino coffee pods.I can't believe an Italian produced this rubbish and calls it coffee.Consuelo...…. yuk

I agree with your reviewers who find it over sweet and was put off by the plethora of negative comments, especially as coffee is a matter of personal preference. Previous DG machines have made the best coffee I'd ever tasted and I recently replaced with a recent model, to find that across the range the flavour was slightly less perfect for my taste, but I'm not that particular and I like the idea of one-pod drinks - buying 16 pods and only getting 8 drinks is quite an expensive way of doing things. But I was interested to see that most of the Italian reviews were favourable and decided to try. They do need two pods for a full mug and are far from perfect, but overall I find them quite acceptable and good value for money

These capsules are not fit for purpose. The flavour is good on the odd occasion that they actually work in the machine. I have three different Dolce Gusto machines and have tried the pods in all of them. Frequently they just stop working after a few seconds and I cannot remove the pod from the machine for a long while - I do not want to force and break my machine. - or alternatively they just explode the contents all over the place. I will not buy these pods again.

These taste disgusting and even adding flavoured syrup can't rescue them. DONT BUYThey taste like meat fat and smell like it too.Pay more for proper coffee pods, save yourself time money and your tase buds.1st time I've had to do a bad review but no way round this, wish I could zero star product

I bought these to use in my dulce gusto machine, unfortunately my machine will not work correctly with them. The hot chocolate squirts everywhere except in the cup! I tried several times with the same messy result. As a result I use the contents of the capsules and add hot water and milk. They are delicious!

These capsules fit the machine perfectly. The coffee is nice but there is far too much sugar in them for me. I don't usually take sugar in drinks but I can usually get on ok with other brands. These however are probably more for somebody who's used to sugar in their drinks.

These are absolutely the most awful tasting cafe au lait I've ever had and I drink a lot of them . It's really nasty tasting and the rest of the family agree , none of us can drink them so my advice is to spend a little extra and get something worth drinking because these didn't save me money I literally poured it down the sink !!

Bought a new nestle machine as thought it had broken but the capsules are blocking up and jamming the machine.Tried 2 different boxes of the same flavour and doing same. Now have to empty the contents into a cup and add the hot water. Flavour is nice but cant use as intended.
