Caffe Borbone Compatible Nespresso Pods, Black Blend

This is my favourite coffee and the one I keep buying regardless of which machine I’m using. I’m quite picky with coffee and I absolutely love this blend, it’s rich, creamy and tastes like proper Neapolitan coffee. Each capsule is individually wrapped, they’re well made and I’ve used them with different machines without any problems. The value for money is incredible too, especially for a pack of 100. I buy it so regularly that I now have it on subscription, and I’ll definitely keep buying it.

Caffè Borbone Respresso Black is the real deal. The moment I opened the package, the amazing aroma hit me — rich, bold, and exactly what you’d expect from true Italian coffee. The flavor is strong and full-bodied, yet incredibly smooth, with a beautiful creamy finish that makes every cup feel like something from a café in Italy. If you love real espresso with intensity and character, this is a perfect choice. It tastes authentic, smells incredible, and delivers that classic Italian coffee experience right at home. Highly recommended! ☕️🇮🇹

We had these in an Air B&B in Rome and thought they were lovely. I particularly like the smell of the coffee when you rip the small pouch open... and for the money, it is a bargain.

This not the best coffee... and the pods are not recycled... but for the price you can not go far wrong

Seriously, this is a product one should avoid. Of all the different pods I have used and am currently using these are the worst. These pods have a 70%+ failure rate. For every four pods used three failed and sometimes all four failed. The aluminium caps are not secured correctly and with the heat from the water they come apart, with many needing to be carefully removed from within the pod holder. Those that don't stick inside the pod holder still come apart partially so one does have to rinse the pod holder after evry single use, to wash away the coffee grounds otherwise one will be drinking gritty coffee. The sad thing is that the flavour of the coffee is very good, the strength is very good but these things waste a lot of time and energy. I have used other pods from the same brand and they have worked very well, with a failure rate of only around 2% to 3%. So, one would be right to question why these fail so much? The answer is simple... where other pods are 100% aluminium these aren't. This product is 90% plastic. The pods are plastic and the cap is aluminium. The 100% aluminium pods are far superior is because aluminium lids will weld themselves to the aluminium pods thus they stay on. The aluminium caps on plastic pods appear to be stuck on with some sort of adhesive as they come away too easily. Although I will be avoiding these pods in the future I will still purchase other pods from this brand as they do make a great coffee and it's only this one product that has issues. One other thing that really gets to me is the fact that each and every pod, with this product has a (I won't swear at this point, even though I feel I need to) plastic packet. What an environmental disaster this product is. Plastic pods and each one is a plastic wrapper? Currently there is enough plastic waste in this world to completely fill the whole of Austrralia and it is growing. Plastic is "not" recyleable as claimed. When they say plastic is recycled it simply means it has been cut and chopped to be used for another plastic product. Even a major bed manufacturer messed with this and used plastic strips as a filler for the matresses and what a disaster that was. The matresses were so hard, lumpy and uncomfortable. One has to consider what happens to the plastic after it has been used for the second time? It can't be used again after that. It can't be melted down to make something else like glass and metals can. It can't be cut and sanded to produce another product as wood can. At the end of it, all plastic ands up in a landfill somewhere. There is no reason why this product can not be 100% aluminium as the brand does produce such pods and they are good. It may be that I was just unlucky and got a bad box of these pods but it can't be just a one off as there must be a whole production run with the same issues as the failure rate is simply way too high. So, it will take some time for the whole of the bad batch to be bought up and a better batch to be available, assuming the manufacturer is aware (they should be) of the issues and have corrected them. So, if you want a good coffee and don't mind spending more time cleaning your pod holder and picking aluminium lids out of it, than you do making and drinking the coffee then this is for you. However, if, like myself, you don't want that hassle and don't want gritty coffee then look for something better. I am not recommending these pods as they are poor quality, poor value and the worst pods I have ever used. See the pic that shows 3:4 failure rate.

Really nice strong coffee Works well with the machine

The coffee seems fine, but sadly the packaging lets them down. The pods are plastic so I can’t recycle them and each one is individually wrapped in more plastic. Very disappointing and I won’t be ordering again for these reasons.

Adoro

Lo prendo ormai volentieri perché ha un gusto deciso e una buona cremosità. Il sapore è intenso, senza risultare troppo amaro, ed è perfetto per chi preferisce un espresso dal carattere forte. Le capsule sono pratiche e fanno il loro lavoro senza problemi. Considerando anche il prezzo della confezione da 100, è sicuramente un acquisto che rifarei.

If you value a good coffee this isn't for you. Stinks and tastes sour. Our coffee machine struggled with filling up the cup. It might be strong but it's just nasty!

Der Kaffee schmeckt super, Kapseln sind günstiger als die originalen. Mittlerweile meine Lieblingssorte!

Great replacement for an expensive known brand… love it🥰

Café bastante bueno y a muy buen precio para la calidad que tiene. Las cápsulas vienen herméticas y mantienen perfecto el aroma. La única pega que son de plástico pero no afecta al sabor. Calidad-precio muy buena
