Starbucks Fairtrade Espresso Roast Espresso Capsules Compatible with Nespresso OriginalLine Machines - 6 Pack for a total of 60 Capsules Pods

I like the flavor of the Starbucks roast, however their pod does not work well with the Nespresso pixie machine. unlike most aftermarket pods that are a cast pod normally plastic, with a foil cap. the Starbucks has foil at the bottom and top ends. it does not puncture correctly and dumps a cup worth of water into my drip tray each time. if I forget to dump it, I wind up with a counter full of water. so far my favorite aftermarket is rossocaffe. but I think I will go back to the real thing. the cost savings just really isn't there..

Like the coffee. The capsules are a little different shape than Nespresso's capsules with a flat instead of rounded bottom and sometimes require a little jiggling to get them in the slot on my Breville Nespresso machine. Otherwise the capsules work fine and the make good espresso shots. They are one of my two most used Nespresso pods.

Why pay over $3 for your espresso at Starbucks when you can just make it yourself for an average of 90 cents per pod with your own Nespresso machine! These pods are fantastic! I get to enjoy my favourite Starbucks espresso in the comfort of my own home.

Kept my basic wife pinging off the walls like all Starbucks fiends do...I don’t drink coffee so I can say what I want!!!!

The Starbucks (unique) aluminum pod is 1 to 2mm smaller in size in almost every dimension except the foil (large) top diameter. In my Kitchenaid Nespresso machine that almost always means 50% or more of espresso ends up in the drip tray and not the cup. As noted they also have a foil on both ends that is not as robust as the Nespresso pod and may be part of the "leaker" problem. Starbucks coffee quality aside, this is not worth the 33% premium for Starbucks pods when you only get half the espresso you purchased.

Rich and creamy and bold. Love it. None of the pods had any damage and I think that's a first.

These are the only capsules we have tried that the coffee isn’t watery. Perhaps a bit bitter. But this is what I’m sticking with for now.

Of the 5 pods I have tried, 3 have not worked. I've ordered this same brand multiple times with no problems. I know it's the pods themselves because I put a different brand in with no problems. Very disappointing for the price, if only half of my pods are going to work, I may as well just go to Starbucks.
