Pods & capsulesCoffee pod reviews
Capsules reviewed by system, because compatibility decides what you can actually buy. Every review states the cost per cup and the machine it fits.
- by Amazon Colombian Coffee Aluminium pods reviewThe cheapest capsule we track that fits a Nespresso Original machine, at 19p a cup. Nothing about the coffee is remarkable, and nothing needs to be.5 min read
- Carte Noire Espresso Intense capsules reviewA dark, pure arabica compatible capsule at 24p a cup. The intensity number on the box is 9, and the useful thing to know is what that number is worth.4 min read
- NESCAFE Dolce Gusto Americano Intenso reviewOne capsule, one large mug, 24p. That single-pod arithmetic is the reason this is the sensible thing to drink on a Dolce Gusto machine.4 min read
- L'OR Espresso Lungo Profondo reviewA lungo capsule for the longer button, in recyclable aluminium, at 25p a cup. L'OR state the compatibility themselves, which is rarer than it should be.4 min read
- Lavazza Espresso Maestro Ristretto reviewThe darkest, shortest capsule on this page, rated 12 of 13 by Lavazza themselves. Also the one where the 30-capsule box is quietly costing you money.5 min read
- Tassimo Kenco Colombian T Discs reviewA good, mild, 100% Colombian arabica in a system that will never let anybody undercut it. Thirty pence a cup, and no route to less.4 min read
- Starbucks Decaf Espresso Roast by Nespresso reviewA proper Nespresso Original capsule rather than a compatible one, at 30p a cup. That difference is most of what you are paying for.4 min read
- Grind House Blend compostable pods reviewThe most expensive capsule on this page, at 35p a cup, and the only one that is not metal or plastic. You are buying the pod, not just the coffee.5 min read
