Legato Espresso Capsules (Gran Gusto, 100)

Lamentablemente no tengo nada bueno que decir, lo que pienso del producto no puede ser publicado por esta vía, una simple recomendación... No malgaste su dinero, las capsulas no sirven para las maquinas Nespresso, no tienen devolución! Mi maquina solo tiene 5 meses de comprada y me dicen que las capsulas no funcionan con cafeteras viejas! Es decir, imagino debo adquirir una nueva semanalmente para poder tomar el cafe Legato.Posiblemente su maquina se dañe al intentar colar esas capsulasLe tengo que hacer unos orificios con un palillo en la parte superior para medio tener resultados y poder tomar un el cafeTardan muuucho tiempo en colarse, la maquina se ve forzadaEl sabor es lo que menos importancia tiene luego del proceso complicado de colar una capsulaNO RECOMENDABLENo funcionan con Nespresso y dudo que lo hagan con cualquier maquina

I tried these capsules in 3 different nespresso machines. Kitchen Aid, Latissima and the Basic Nespresso machine. The problem is the FLOW of coffee. The Red Intenso barely flows out. The Blue French Vanilla simply drips out. While this is happening, the machines make a horrible noise, like the pump is about to explode. And it takes a long time to get a shot of espresso, while watching it drip out of a machine, that sounds like it really hates you, for making it pump water through these capsules. Finally, when i tried to return the capsules, Amazon said that they are INELIGIBLE for a return. So I will just throw them in the trash. Becaue I am not about to ruin my expensive machines, over $60 of bad capsules. So the cheap price, does not make it a good value. Because its going into the trash. As for the flavor, its hard to tell. By the time that it takes a shot of espresso to DRIP out, its not hot anymore and does not taste good. Sorry. I really tried. Again and again. But the results were the same. Fail !!!!

Is this the best available? Not by any means. The Fortissimo is (was?) the strongest offering at this time and IMHO it's maybe more like a 7 instead of a 9 with a bit of dark roast aftertaste. The resulting crema is reasonable; not as good as any of the original ones, but nowhere near as low as some of the compatible ones I've seen. Overall I consider these good, but not great.This is offset by its value. Compared to any of the original Nespresso offerings at this time of this review, these Legato capsules are 30% of the price for what I feel is 80% of the quality. That bumps this 4 star product to a 5 star overall rating and worthy of my repeat business.September edit: I've since purchased the French Roast too, which is a coffee, not an espresso. In terms of strength, I feel it's a little less than the Fortissimo; understandable because it's a different grind. The same value aspect remains, so no change to my five stars.

*ENGLISH BREAKFAST TEA* I went into this with healthy skepticism. I drink loads of tea, and recently started drinking espresso at home. So, my lazy butt decided that tea in my Nespresso would be uh-maz-ing. I read reviews, and thought oh well, I'll either love it or hate it. I kinda love it. It takes ¼ of the time that it takes to heat water in the kettle. Fabulous! The tea is strong, so you can run the Nespresso 3-4 times if you like a giant cup of tea like I do. I mean, I literally drink a 20 oz. Cup of tea... Sugar and cream, and you are good to go!

Prior review said they sent a combination pack instead of what was ordered. Once opened, the contents was correct (10 x10 Intenso), but the outer box implied it was a mix of various types, (see pic). Did not want to open in case returning, but for $20 I wanted to try it. So, now that I have tried it: It is more bitter than Nespresso but surely drinkable and fair taste for the cost. The capsule work in our Delonghi. But, strangely some capsules have a small amount of flavored coffee mixed in, (although it should be just Espresso). I thought my GF had added syrup, but no- it was a clean cup with only the coffee in it. We never run flavored coffees thru the machine, so this flavor was in the coffee pod- a hint of Vanilla, or some other sweet flavoring.

We recently got a nespresso machine and have been trying all kinds of coffee pods. I love tea so i thought why not try this out. In hind sight i don't think Nespresso style brewing and tea is a good combination. Tea needs time for steeping. This makes a very weak tea. The only way tea in a nespresso or Kcup for that matter can work is if there is a powdered version of tea extract that is ready to be dissolved in hot water as opposed to tea leaves. Anyway was worth a try. Will stick to coffees only and for tea will use the traditional steeping or microwave/teabags for faster results.

The flavor of this is supposed to be only Hazelnut espresso. Come to find out they added something else to the flavoring... CHEMICAL flavoring!!!!Horrible, and to top it off NO RETURNS! We just got beat out of 30 bucks! Why Amazon is not helping us out is truly amazing.

I received the hazelnut capsules this week and this is awful coffee. No hazelnut flavor and a very stale off-tasting weak coffee. Amazon shows this product as being ineligible for return so I strongly recommend NOT buying from this seller!
