Organic USDA Café Romano Coffee Aluminum Espresso Pods For Nespresso Original Machine 100 Pack Italian Espresso Coffee (Variety pack)

Love this coffee. It is hard to find organic espresso pods for the original Nespresso machines and this is an excellent product. It’s imported from Italy and it’s a great price 100 pods vs 50 in most others! I thought there would be something wrong with it because the price is so economical but the coffee is excellent. This will be my go to order from now on (as long as they don’t raise the price after reading my review) haha

Love it. Nespresso pods are very small so you aren’t making a 12 oz. Latte with these pods, especially if you like strong coffee. But for a shot or a small coffee with a little steamed milk, they are very flavorful and delicious. I usually use two pods at a time but the price is good so I can.

So far the coffee tastes good. The foil seals are a little thinner than Nespresso capsules, but so far that has not been a problem. I was initially worried that they would tear as I store them in an apothecary jar.

Works perfectly in our coffee makers and tastes fantastic, better than most coffee shops. The price for the taste is saving us over $100 a month. Its so quick to make as well. The variety gives us the ability to pick the amount of caffeine helps depending on the day and time of the day.

Love these and am definitely buying again. This is 60 cents for 2 shots! I have used every flavor now and they are all good. These are organic and compatible with original nespresso machines. I highly recommend this product for quality and value. I mainly make cappuccinos with this and they always turn out great!

Like another reviewer here, I've strangely been having unusual bouts of dizziness and nausea since I've started drinking these, the past month. I've been an all-day espresso (and nespresso) drinker for two decades and always drink several (dark roast, strong) per day with zero "side effects." The first week I started drinking these, I had a full on vertigo episode 10 minutes after my noon lungo. (Haven't had vertigo in a decade.) I was baffled and dismissed it, but have subsequently been consistently observing, like the other reviewer, palpable dizziness and upset stomach whenever I drink these, but zero of that when I drink another brand, instead. That's completely abnormal for me. Reading the other review here that mentions dizziness, nausea, feeling strange sealed the deal, compelled me to write this and validate her review with my own, similar experience and knowledge.Here's what I know: organic or not, coffee is widely-known to be one of the moldiest crops in the world. Most manufacturers take great care in preventing (microscopic, usually invisible to naked eye) spores, growth on both beans and grounds through strict vacuum sealing, moisture and temperature controlled storage. Mold is a potent neurotoxin that impacts the central nervous system, which includes vestibular function, and mold mycotoxin exposure can cause dizziness and nausea, known side effects. (USDA certification does not test for or regulate mold/fungal growth on products, including imports, not part of the certification process. Manufacturer has to test, regulate this quality control, in-house. Google Dave Asprey/Bulletproof Diet to learn all about mold in coffee and its unhealthy effects that can undo the benefits.)Second, the standards for USDA organic are the lowest in the world, and it doesn't mean the product is chemical-free. Shockingly, USDA allows organic producers to use glycosphate aka Round-Up and other chemical herbicide/insecticides that are caustic, confirmed carcinogens and anything but organic, in "emergencies." I learned this from three long-time, local commercial organic farmers who said "This means, to cut costs, because organic prevention/treatments are so much more costly and Round-Up is cheaper, almost all organic farmers use it regularly on crops. It's the dirty secret of USDA organic. Most consumers have no idea. Unless the farm is local and you know the actual farmer and can go there yourself and ask them about their practices and confirm they don't use it, use alternatives--I can guarantee you that 98% of organic farmers are soaking those crops in chemicals just like the traditional ones. You're just paying more for the name organic. The USDA allows it, does not regulate it. They'll give the organic certification to any food producer that is willing to pay them several thousand dollars per year, to get it."These are the facts. High quality coffee doesn't make you dizzy, nauseous, feel ill or strange. I purchased these because they were "organic" and I'm always trying to find the cleanest coffee I can. (Try Bulletproof caps, they're tested to be glycosphate & mold-free, just expensive & Amazon will no longer ship to my area. Don Fernando also makes an organic cap, but it's a light roast.) I was amazed at the low price for the amount of boxes here, but it turns out the old sayings hold true that you get what you pay for, and if it seems too good to be true--it usually is. Something's missing in the equation here to make these so cheap; costs are getting cut somewhere and so is purity and quality. Coffee in it's cleanest form is a beneficial health beverage. Consumers must practice caution with imports by unknown brands. Things from Europe are usually more expensive, not less. Two reviewers reporting symptoms, significant side-effects = cause for concern. It's better to drink a non-organic but still cleaner, domestic, established, tried and true brand. Verdict: steer clear of these.With two reviews noting side-effects, this brand should have multiple batches tested for contamination by a certified facility that confirms purity, and publish the notarized MSDS (material safety & data sheets) documents in the images to verify product safety for consumers.

Honestly, I didn't have high hopes for these coffee pods. I bought these for my mom, and let me tell you, she is in love with them and won't stop raving about them. At first, she wasn't too happy with the low intensity ones, but she actually states that those are even better than the intense ones. I have only tried the intense ones; they were amazingly great and even better than the name brand. The price is excellent for the quality and quantity that come in the pods. The pods are made out of metal like name brands and have an excellent aroma. My mom uses these in her Nespresso CitiZ and she is happy with these. They work really well with the machine and we haven't had any issues with them getting stuck in the machine.

I recently switched from making my own coffee, first to a Keurig, and when I found that disappointing, then to an espresso machine. I bought some pretty well rated caps or pods as they are called and I found them good, but I was concerned since I’m pretty much a stickler for having things be organic in my diet. When I found these, I ordered a sample of them and found them to be excellent. The taste is superb, not bitter at all, and very satisfying. I would recommend this to anybody, even if you don’t do organic, I would recommend these for their quality and consistency.
