You're reading these reviews because you want to find a more affordable option to the actual Nespresso brand capsules. Who can blame you?
The real ones made by Nespresso cost between 70¢ and $1. If you ask me, that's pretty expensive for a cup of coffee you make at home!
Here's the longer story, done (slightly) shorter...
If you've ever tasted a Nespresso Kazaar capsule, you've tasted the single most delicious cup of espresso that you're likely to ever have - AT HOME.
If you think you're likely to replicate that with any other brand, I wish you the best of luck and happy hunting.
Fact is, the Nespresso capsules have achieved something that none of the rest have been able to replicate - YET.
Smoothness and richness of flavor without that burnt, over-roasted taste that you so often find with many espresso blends.
I can tell you without any hesitation, if you've never had a Nespresso capsule, you will think these taste AMAZING.
But this isn't a Nespresso capsule review, it's a Bestpresso review for the 01, 02, 03, 04, 06 & 07 capsules.
There are very minor differences in all 6 of these roasts, but one thing remains constant throughout all of them. There is a pervasive over-roasted flavor, that I'm assuming is there to give you the impression of a more sophisticated blend. I can assure you that you will not mistake these for a ripoff of the Nespresso branded coffees. I can however tell you, the differences between the blends are so minor, that you may not be able to distinguish one from the other.
With all of that said, I have brewed the Bestpresso espresso capsules with the proper amount of water, the lungo capsules with the proper amount of water and the ristretto using the Nespresso recommended 15 second brew-time. I can tell you without any hesitation that there is an AMAZING crema on every single blend. I can tell you without any hesitation that every capsule I've used (over 20 at this point) has brewed consistently, producing the same quantity of coffee each and every time. I've had no stuck capsules, no false starts, no under-pours either.
If you are looking for a budget friendly, fresh cup of espresso, that not only tastes great but also gives you a great buzz, you will love this coffee!
For completeness, I am using a 2017 model Nespresso Inissia by DeLonghi - AND I LOVE IT!
I came from an unsatisfying Keurig 2.0 environment and can't even THINK about having another cup made by that thing.
I can tell you with a high level of certainty, the bad reviews for Bestpresso capsules were more than likely made by coffee-snobs or serious connoisseurs of gourmet coffees. Those people should stick with the $3,000 double-boiler machines. If all you want is an excellent cup of espresso, and you're not out to compare every sip with every other type/brand of coffee in the known universe, Bestpresso's Gourmet Coffee Capsules will make you very happy!
I will definitely be buying these again...
Happy Sipping! ^_^
UPDATE: I've now been through more than 90 capsules and I can assure you that every single cup you make will be as fresh, aromatic and correct sized as the first!
The other thing that I want to go on record as saying, is I've been through the 16-pack of samples that Nespresso gives you when you purchase the Nespresso and only 3 of them were EXCELLENT. The other 13 all had a bitter-Starbucks type of flavor. If you don't like the bitterness in Starbucks coffee, you'll love the Bestpresso capsules. With that said, the Arabica blend (#03) is the only one with ANY bitterness and it's very minor. I still stand by my original review 100% and will continue to buy these as long as the price is right! :)

Good flavor, excellent value, but longer pours end in a trickle.
This is a review for all of the different flavors of BestPresso pods. I've tried them all and they are a great value in my opinion.The lungo makes a decent lungo pour. The espresso makes a decent espresso pour. And, the ristretto makes a good ristretto pour. Any attempts to make longer pours out of the espresso and ristretto pods does not work well in my Gran Lattissima. I've had better luck with the other flavors on longer pours where the water flows through rather well all the way to the end of the pour.The picture is an 11oz glass with a carmel macchiato lungo topped by a cafe latte ristretto. It's a beautiful drink that separates into about 5 to 6 layers of muddiness and tastes excellent.My wife enjoys the carmel, chocolate, and vanilla pods as she is into the flavored coffees. I have not been turned off by any pod flavors and prefer most of my drinks as straight espresso/lungo pours in the morning.I need to report, as others have confirmed, that the pour will many times start as pure water before the pod is pierced. This doesn't seem to happen on my refillable stainless steel pods and the Nespresso brand pods, but my coffee snobbery isn't as acute as many of the others seem to be, so I don't really notice any flavor dilution from it. I gave them a 4 out of 5 due to this and the inability to handle a longer pour on the ristretto's. For the most part, its a very solid product with good flavors. We will continue to buy them.Watch this product closely. We have recently purchased the full 240 pod bundle for $.28 per pod.
