Amorcaffe 50 Aluminium Capsules Compatible with Nespresso Pods - Intenso Ristretto

Great tasting coffee at an excellent price.

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.

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.

Great quality and good strength coffee for Nespresso. We've had a Nespresso machine for a few years and to be honest almost had given up on trying to find a capsule that made a good coffee. The selection boxes didn't do it for us as you never like them all and when the box is finished you've forgotten the best flavoured, or stronger ones. These work really well for smaller and larger coffees, just adding more hot water / hot milk according to your taste. Strength and flavour is really good compared to the others we've tried. Very well priced per cup, so you can have these coffees on more occasions, rather than just for special occasions.

Good price if you get a good cup of coffee Tasty not too bad But, dose not keep a consistent water flow through the capsule and the end result isn't worth waiting for as weak and tasteless. Great if you are adding milk 😂 As I like my coffee black ☕ I sometimes get an espresso and sometimes not I won't be buying again but you never know to you try I see from other reviews it 50/50

These coffee pods are a really refreshing cup of coffee. A nice Italian coffee that doesn’t break the bank to drink. I recommend these to any one.

Having bought other cheaper Nespresso pods in the past - and damaged my machine, and also some not tasting too nice, For the past year I have been buying Lidl's brand - used to be £1.69 for 10 pods, and tasted great and no issues with the machine - but the price has slowly crept up in price to £1.99 for 10 pods. Bought a pack of 100 of these - have used 20 pods - no issue with the machine - water flow has been fine. Taste - bought the Intenso as I like strong Latte's - Personally I would like the coffee a little stronger - but the coffee is a decent taste and certainly when you balance the price they are a bargain. Will certainly be buying these pods again.

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.
