Why did you pick this product vs others?:These are fantastic. They taste just like the shots I get at the corner Starbucks.

SoThey arrived the next day even though I paid to have them delivered same day. Of course, that's how Amazon rolls and there's nothing you can do I was concerned with the reviews about the box being smashed cause it says this is not returnable, but my box was not smashed. It arrived early the next morning. Even though that's not the deal me in Amazon had whatever but they are delicious.. And I noticed on here. People are saying it doesn't make enough. They have to use 3. I'm a hardcore espresso drinker and they're made for shots. It's a special shot. You're not supposed to have a huge cup of espresso. That's not how it works.My delongi cappuccino machine. Yes, I can make huge cappuccino's. But I have to keep refilling the basket at least 3 or 4 times so...

Love! so much cheaper than buying from the grocery store.

Great for my iced coffee! Strength:Strong! Taste:Delicious!

The coffee itself is very good. But I didn’t realize the size is for a cup of espresso. That was my fault for not paying attention. I just run it a few times and it’s perfect and ends up like a cappuccino.
