Great espresso, delicious & very versatile!
So, espresso from a machine... I was nervous buying this but so glad I did. It nailed the espresso job 10 out of 10, smooth but with a strong velvety finish!! So good I want another most times.Being that it was so good, I thought I'd try making my normal coffee house latte at home, heating the milk in the microwave, skimming the skin off the top of the hot milk before finishing with a single hit of this super espresso!It settles as it does in the coffee shop (in layers, coffee on top of milk). A quick stir and you have an latte in your hand. Alternatively, using a small mug, heat a little milk at the bottom (or don't), then run the machine all the way to the top making this a long espresso like a cortado. The taste is great and it keeps its smoothness and flavourThis is such a great espresso that I have ordered it quite a few times now and never been disappointed. Buy this, you will love it.

One of the best - Dolce Gusto Espresso Ristretto Ardenza Coffee Pods - total of 48
I use espresso pods for all sorts, not just short espresso... top it up and hey presto you got a great strong tasting americano, add to frothy hot milk and you got a great latte macchiato, to be honest the list is endless as this one is very versatile.I love the deep flavour of this, and somehow they've managed to create a pod with that restricted flow that brings out the flavour even more and adds a superb crema to the top.Definitely one of the best pods that dolce gusto do in my opinion. You can use any of the espresso pods in various home brew recipes of course, it's what your baristas do in the coffee shops anyway, but this ardenza coffee gives that lovely strong punch.Love it!
