5.0 out of 5 stars Great Starbucks Flavor Love the price compared to Nespresso and unlike other brands these capsules work excellently with our Nespresso machine. Great Starbucks flavors at a less than Starbucks price!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great coffee Exactly what I needed. The coffee is great and came the next day.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great pods for my Nespresso! this work great in my Nespresso machine, I appreciate the variety packs

4.0 out of 5 stars Coffee pods Many pods capsules were smashed. The coffee is always great. This was just unfortunate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for the price Saving money buying this way than retail price

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good 👍 I just got my first nespresso machine and was excited to give these a try. Tried the medium roast first. Not as good as the espresso I got at the resort. Mb because their machine was fully automatic and I was in vacation mode. But these are pretty good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Noce Variety

5.0 out of 5 stars Great choice! For me, the nespresso pods are the single option available for my machine. The starbucks pods are manufactured by nespresso and there is no difference in performance.

Below are 5 helpful insider/expert tips below:

1) Regular drip coffee machines such as coffee pots & Keurigs have ZERO pressure;
French Press has about 20 lbs of pressure;
Aeropress has about 30 lbs of pressure

Espresso machines have much higher pressure –the standard mininum pressure for espresso machines that you find in Europe & 5-star restaurants/coffee shops is about
200 to 225 lbs of pressure PSI aka as
13 to 15 BARS of pressure for PROFESSIONAL machines used in good coffee shops/restaurants

Nespresso is at the high end with 19 bars of pressure -about 275+ lbs of pressure PSI

— Jura; Saeco/Phillips;
WMF; DeLonghi; etc also all have mininum 13 to 15 bars of pressure or higher also for their professional & at-home machines

— any machine that has at least above the mininum pressure/bars that will ADVERTISE IT –if they don’t tell you how much pressure it has; then it’s because it has below that –such as the Ninjas or Bella (I had to research them heavily to find they had only about 50 lbs of pressure)

2) Independent lab tests by food/coffee companies have shown that have the mininum 200+ lbs of pressure you squeeze out & extract over 900+ essential oils & each essential oil is a different flavor & aroma;
thus you are getting at least 900+ different flavors & 900+ different aromas from professional 13 to 19 bar pressure machines (200-275+ lbs of pressure)

This is why coffee shops/restaurants that use the above hi-pressure machines smell so good

3) You know how cutting open an apple & exposing it to air/oxygen; the apple turns brown from oxidation?

Same thing happens to coffee after you grind the coffee beans & expose it to air/oxygen
–Coffee grinds go STALE after about 20 MINUTES according to lab tests by food/coffee companies –this is why old coffee doesn’t taste good & why you should always use your coffee grinds within 20 minutes of grinding your beans
–do NOT grind beans at the store unless you intend to use them within 20 minutes

If you order at a restaurant/coffee shop; make sure they grind the beans fresh or within 20 minutes earlier before you ordered &
NOT using the grinds they grinded hours earlier at 6 AM when they opened

4) Nespresso is one of the few coffee companies in the world that grinds their beans in an
OXYGEN-FREE CHAMBER (similar to vaccuum chamber) where all the oxygen is sucked out & replaced with INERT nitrogen so there is no oxidation – then it’s hermetically sealed air-tight in
RECYCLABLE aluminum capsules with a food safety liner on the inside so that the coffee grinds never touch any oxygen nor aluminum either

5) Avoid capsules that use plastic -the high heat/pressure in the machine might cause some of the plastic to leach into your coffee

Avoid paper capsules/coffee bags UNLESS they are have a plastic or aluminum lining on the inside or else oxygen will permeate thru

The standard ONE-WAY vents you see on some coffee bean bags is to because beans/grinds slowly release gas aromas as they sit on the shelf so use them before the ‘Best by date’ -you can still use them afterwards but it won’t taste so good

5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious Great flavor great taste

5.0 out of 5 stars Good coffee Good coffee, fit original coffe maker as described.

4.0 out of 5 stars For the price and variety, they are great but be caution of damage capsules
I order these all the time because I can’t beat the price and the fact that I have variety. However, this is the second time I have received capsules that are damaged to where I can’t use them. You can see the picture I uploaded, the one on the right I tried putting it through and my coffee maker just dispenses it without brewing the coffee and I just get hot water because the capsule is so damage it does not detect it. It’s a hit or miss when receiving them damaged because they are made from recycled materials, so they are very thin capsules.

5.0 out of 5 stars As advertised
Exactly what I expected

3.0 out of 5 stars usually good, but my last batch was a dud
I’ve ordered these pods many times and although occasionally some arrive damaged, for the most part it’s a good value for the money. The last batch I ordered seems off. Many of the pods are creating weak coffee that is not even drinkable.

5.0 out of 5 stars On-time, Fresh and Reasonably Priced Coffee
I routinely order my coffee from this vendor. Coffee in the morning is important to me. I want it fresh and quickly available if I miscalculate what’s left in the cupboard. Fresh, quickly available, and dependable. This is how I’d describe my experience.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for the price
Works fine. Tastes like espresso. I will say I was weirded out by all the Chinese writing on the packaging. Honestly will buy from target from now on bc of that.

4.0 out of 5 stars As expected
Just what I expect from Starbucks pods.
Average coffee, at a reasonable price on Amazon

5.0 out of 5 stars Muy bueno
A tiempo y buen cafe

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent
I liked the variety of the coffee

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice
On time, nice taste 👌

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Variety, Great Price
I got my first nespresso and of course needed pods, but they are so expensive! These are a great value pack with variety of flavors so you can really appeal to everyone. We love to host, so it’s nice having options for them to choose from. All the different colors also look cute in our coffee bar 🙂

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad compared to other brand Nespresso capsules.
Starbucks nespresso capsules are not bad compared to other brands i tried. This is not as good as the original nespresso capsules but will do the job. Please dont buy the capsules from Lavazza. I keep the starbucks in stock everytime the price is good. I still prefer to have a good cup of coffee from the Nespresso capsules.
Buy them if its on sale on Amazon or at Costco.

3.0 out of 5 stars Gave me an upset stomach
That pike place is awful and gave me a very upset stomach. I bought the blonde roast before and didn’t have any issues so I guess I will go back to that

4.0 out of 5 stars Great pack but came a little damaged
When I opened the pack, it was sent in an envelope and one of the capsule boxes was damaged because the envelope was not hard enough. Some capsulas could not be used because of the damage. The rest of the capsules was great and a very good way to get many capsules for a good price.

4.0 out of 5 stars goog flavors
everything

4.0 out of 5 stars Great variety great taste
A nice change from the Nespresso coffees that I have been buying for the past 15
years.
