Happy Belly Decaffeinated Capsule Nespresso Coffee No Decaffeinated 20 Count (Pack of 6)

Wouldn’t buy againThe aluminium capsules are good and don’t get stuck like many “compatible” pods do.The foil is way too thin and splits to allow way too much coffee solids through into the cup.The flavour is a little thin.The crema is poor and quite foamy rather than creamy.But they are cheap and I guess you get what you pay for.It’s likely that all of the above is a result of the poor quality splitting foil so not enough pressure is building through the coffee.UPDATEDI’ve now finished all of these pods and I can confirm my initial findings. The foil is the biggest issue. It tears way too easily resulting in far too many grinds in the cup, channelling of the water meaning a thin taste and poor crema. Compared to L’Oréal pods and Nespresso pods these are very inferior.From the photos you can see that the happy belly foil (red capsule on right) has torn badly compared to the brown Nespresso capsule (left) and the gold/green L’Or capsule (middle). As the 3rd picture shows this is consistently the case.Sorry, but these should be avoided.

Not plastic - so better for the environment (you can pierce, empty the coffee grounds to compost and collect the foil if you want -but even in general waste aluminium is better in the sense that 1/12 the earth's crust is made of it anyway - not that coffee capsules aren't a fairly wasteful way to start out). But also, the aluminium capsules deform and fit the machines better, so you don't get the leakage around the side or the starting flush of just water that even the best plastic ones do.

Thanks Amazon for listening and starting to sell an aluminium own brand capsule. Easy to wash out recycle. I also like that they are packed in 20s with no plastic. In terms of flavour they are perfectly acceptable for a budget capsule, a good everyday coffee. In my opinion nothing beats the flavour of the nespresso ones but these are acceptable and probably on par with the jacobs or l’or ones. I will buy again :)

Was not a nice experience to feel bits in your mouth and spit needed to spit it out in sink.I’ve tried many coffee brands and some do this and can still be drinkable, but this type just isn’t good at all.I’ll stick with my solimo Amazon brand. Very cheap and mostly successful with the odd one not working fully. But for 9p a cup I don’t mind the odd waste.

I use a Delonghi by Nespresso machine which has always worked reliably with any nespresso compatible capsules…until I tried these. Granted they make decent coffee but they deliver less than 1/2 a shot a pod as the capsule sealing ring fails after a few seconds of operation and allows the water to bypass the coffee and end up in the disposal tray. Other aluminium capsules have a raised inner line, these have a fibre band which seems to be the issue. (Photo attached).They may work better in other nespresso machine brands.

This is good tasting decaf coffee. However, each box is supposed to contain 20 pods. Out of 6 boxes purchased only 2 had 20, the other 4 had 18!! Not sure how to contact seller to complain about this?

Bought these compatible pods only to find they don’t fit, every single time I’ve used one I’ve had to take the drawer out and insert my fingers to stop the pod dropping straight through, and as far as taste goes they taste no different to the better value Amazon Solimo pods so I will not be ordering happy belly again

I've tried these a couple of times because they were a very good price but they often leave bits in the bottom of the cup whereas other brands don't. Most Amazon brands are good but I'll be putting the last of these in the bin unfortunately. I'm preferring the L'Or decaf capsules now for taste and value for money.
