Amorcaffe 50 Aluminium Capsules Compatible with Nespresso Pods - Intenso Ristretto

Great tasting coffee at an excellent price.

It's all in the coffee. These aluminium pods are some of the best value on the market. Don't be put off by the low price, this is the real deal. Awesome strong, nutty taste with very little bitterness. Makes a great espresso, two pods will make you a big, friendly mug of americano with the addition of a little boiled water and milk if that's your thing. Powdered white death can also be added but let's not get into people who kill good coffee with that muck. No leaks, superb performance. I love it.

No problem with these capsules fitting my machine (Inissia) . Like some other non-original Nespresso capsules you often have to be a bit more careful about placing then in the machine rather than just dropping them in. No real problem with the flow. But it is slower than some other Nespresso capsules and I can sometimes hear the pump struggling to push the water through. I always measure a volume of liquid out rather than simply trusting the button to deliver the right amount. I measure 40 ml per capsule and this is about right I think. The coffee is good but maybe slightly weaker than some others. But if you use two shots per mug (or as I prefer to do, 3 shots between two mugs!) it makes a pretty good mug of coffee and is certainly very good value. However if you are prepared to pay a bit more there are better better Nespresso alternatives out there.

Overall, I am very impressed with these capsules. I use these more often to create a larger cup of coffee, rather than espresso, but even with that they create a nice-tasting coffee with a smooth crema on top. Strength-wise, it hits the spot for me, although if you like your coffee very strong you might want to use a couple of pods per 'mug'. Of course, a big selling point for these capsules is the price. At just over 12p per capsule, I was worried the quality would be poor. I should not have worried. In comparison to other compatible pods I have tried (Cafe Direct, Sainsburys, Starbucks etc etc.) I would rate this product as at least on a par with those in terms of quality, but at roughly half the price. Maybe the original Nespresso pods would create a more 'intense' coffee, but for me, it's just not 'noticeable' enough to justify the extra outlay. I'm currently working my way through my second box of these capsules and I would say that my machine has had a problem with maybe 2-3 individual capsules where it hasn't been able to pierce the foil correctly. For me at least, this is no different from any other compatible pods and I can certainly live with that success ratio, based on the cost difference. So, in short, if you use compatible pods, I would recommend that you give these a go. I am certainly glad I did.

for whomever is only interested in the conclusion: it is a great bargain for the price, especially if you take your coffee with sugar and milk; for everybody else, taste is bland, leaves very little cream on top, it is an honest cheap brand, not terrible, but far from being great. I am massive coffee drinker: i go through a dozen coffees a day, mostly without milk or sugar. both nespresso and l'or make great tasting capsules, but much more expensive, therefore i looked for the highest rated capsules for under 15 quid. amorcaffe is a very good deal if you manage your expectations: first of all, the package is quite crude, a simple white cardboard box; the capsules themselves are probably a bit cheap looking, in comparison with other brands. something i noticed, is how capsules might differ between one other, some of them with the foil on top that might look as if about to burst, and some of them under seemingly no pressure what-so-ever. i don't really care for how cheap the shell might look, or for how "precise" their production might be (different pressure for the foil means different pressure in the capsule, meaning that they might be slightly fuller or emptier... usually, at least), as long as the product tastes right. it does taste good enough if you take your coffee with sugar and milk. if you take it by itself, even with sugar, it tastes quite bland. also, if you have a machine that send out less than 15 bars of pressure, i suggest you stay away from the product altogether, as by trying the capsules on different machines, mine with 19 bars of pressure didn't have much trouble, but the machine of a friend of mine was struggling quite a bit with its 15 bars.

Where do I begin? Let’s set the scene. Early morning, groggy-eyed me shuffling into the kitchen, hopeful for something to kickstart my brain. Enter: Amazon's Lungo Intenso Nespresso Capsules. One would think they've struck gold or maybe even stumbled into Willy Wonka's coffee factory. Spoiler: No Oompa Loompas were harmed in the making of this delicious concoction. The moment the aroma filled my kitchen, I swear I heard my espresso machine purr in delight. Heck, even my toaster was giving me that “Did you just discover the elixir of life?” look. Flavor? Like a sonnet written by Shakespeare, if he were a barista. It’s robust without being pushy, like that one friend who insists you try their potato salad at a BBQ. No, this coffee seduces your taste buds, and before you know it, you're reaching for a second cup, or third... or fourth. Who's counting? And can we talk value for money? It's like Amazon peeked into my coffee dreams and said, "Hey, let's make this affordable too!" Bless you, Bezos. Or should I say Brewzos? In conclusion, if you want to taste what it feels like to have your internal clock jump up and salsa dance, get these capsules. Plus, you'll have enough change left over to invest in salsa lessons. Cheers to caffeinated mornings and impromptu dance sessions!

Well we're do i start with my list of disappointments, 1, value for money, not really, I have two nespresso machines (home and garage) and these capsules sometimes work sometimes not, attempted to use 12 so far and got 7 coffees, others needing to be poked through the machine into disposal tray as they just jammed in the machine. 2, the taste is a little acrid however we all have different tastes, I think by the 7th it was tasting a little better, 3, I only commenting on packaging because requested to, 100 capsules loose in an oversized box, does it matter? No but nothing like Jacobs, Live wire or Nespresso but as I say I would give a damn personally. 4, need to add both my machines struggle to get the water through these pods, on my few successful coffees I've stopped the machine as it sounds in pain trying to make the coffee.

I went for the "intenso" flavour. It took a me a long while to find this blend and I love it. Robusta coffee can be cheaper than Arabica, but I find it more suitable for espresso-size drinks. Coffee taste varies while you spill it. The first seconds give you the espresso, while if you keep pouring from the same capsule you can get any other thing an Italian like me would never drink. Arabica blends can be quite balanced in the long term, but are way too acid for an espresso. Robusta can fix this problem. Beware! That's a very strong taste, but it's not strong roasting, so it doesn't taste like burnt ashes. If you are used to roasting scale strength, it should fit the mid/mid-high values, while being double or triple concentrated as arabica flavour. Humble packaging, capsules are sometimes irregular-shaped, but they never gave me any problem. EDIT: Aluminium capsules fixed any shape-related issue! Strongly suggested if you drink espresso. Move on otherwise.

Es la segunda vez que adquiero estas cápsulas y su relación calidad precio es la mejor opción que he encontrado en Amazon. No he tenido ningún problema con ellas , todas han funcionado correctamente y hasta ahora todas con lo que se espera de unas cápsulas a este precio. Yo hago cafés cortos y tanto su aroma y sabor es bueno, el café sale con espuma, así que puedo decir que su compra es recomendable.

El café es de muy buena calidad. Aroma y paladar que nada tienen que envidiar a las primeras marcas. Volvería a comprar el producto. El único problema es que alguna de las cápsulas no acaban de acoplar por completo en algunas máquinas más recientes y le cuesta un poco salir al café. Pero sale. No hay mayor problema.

Las cápsulas funcionan perfectamente en la cafetera, de las 100 no me ha fallado ninguna. El café está bueno sólo que a mi me gusta en café fuerte y este pese a poner que es intenso es bastante flojo a mi gusto. Pero por lo demás muy buena compra, sale muy bien de precio y funciona a la perfección en la Nesspreso

He probado otras marcas de cápsulas compatibles nespresso pero esta es la que más me ha gustado. Tiene un gusto suave, se nota que es buena mezcla de cafe, el sabor es incluso mejor que las nespresso, no se atasca como en otras marcas y hace mucha crema, realmente estoy muy contenta, volveré a comprar sin duda!!

Hola compré este producto porque lo vi en un viaje reciente a Bologna, y lo probé en un café pedí un ristretto y estaba muy rico. La verdad es que en capsulas no vale nada. El sabor es muy pobre . Las cápsulas son débiles y se rompen con facilidad , ensucian la cafetera y dejan posos y atasco en salida agua... Creo que deberían perfeccionar las cápsulas de plástico para nespresso. Una pena
