The coffee flavor is good but just like others have posted
The coffee flavor is good but just like others have posted, these pods just dont work right in my Nespresso machine. Coffee cant flow through the pods and it just drips.. This is risky for breaking your coffee maker as the pump is attempting to pump the water, but can't. I tried pre-piercing the tops a little before making coffee.. It helped a little, but even with that, the water doesnt flow freely through the pods.. I suspect it is the fineness of the ground of coffee in the pod that is the problem. I think its ground so fine, the coffee clogs the holes pierced in the pod.

OK...
I bought these in an attempt to find a less expensive alternative to Nespresso capsules. While the flavor of the coffee is very nice, these capsules don't work well in my Latissima machine. Nespresso capsule pour a steady stream of coffee through the machine, while the Lavica capsules just kind of "drip". The machine eventually completes the cycle and I have a cup of espresso but it takes longer...and there are quite a few drips from the spout of the machine after I remove the cup.I will use these up, but I'm not sure if I'll buy again.

both produced a better, less bitter espresso than the Lavica
Though this product works well with the Nespresso Inissia, I find the roast to be below par. The coffee is quite bitter. I A/B tested it against both Nespresso #8 capsules and my custom 'self-pack' capsules made from Costco's bulk French Roast; both produced a better, less bitter espresso than the Lavica.I will not purchase this product again.

Don't try to save money.
The pads are falling apart after brew and the coffee flow during brewing is not consistent. I would not buy this product again. Taste is okay but not as good as the Nespresso.

Does not work correctly with Nespresso machine!
NOT truly interchangeable with nespresso capsules. Most of the time, barely any liquid comes out. Often I have to reload the capsule twice to get more than a few drops of liquid.

Don't waste your money
They taste good but do not work with the vespers so machine. I stupidly bought 5 boxes, cut them all out of their individual wraps and then went to use them and they simply won't work. Pay full price for the real nespresso modules.
