Espresso ItaliaESE Cialde Pods - 50 INTENSO AROMATICO Compostable Pods Italian Coffee. Dark roast

I have been all over the world and been drinking "bar" espressos for decades, and I have to say, this blend is right up there with the stuff I've been served in Trieste, Naples, Buenos Aires, Miami, and New York City. It's not the very best, but it's very good. And... at a price that won't break the inflation-assaulted personal Bank. Highly recommend if you like a good demitasse three time a day like I do.

I’m really disappointed to learn that returns are not allowed on this product. The taste is horrible. I wanted to try something new, but I’ll go back to my old brand. If you don’t accept returns, you have no faith in your product.

The items arrived out of the manufacturer’s box. Very strange

Thought I’d give it a try. It’s not a mild creamy coffee. It’s a dark, rich, robust arabica bean flavor. Just what I like. Doesn’t taste watered down. I use a Mr Coffee One Touch ESE compatible machine (19 bar pressure). When not using ESE pods I use Cafe Bustelo espresso grounds.

I really enjoy the flavor, but I ALWAYS punch at least 30 knife point holes in each side of the pouch to allow more water penetration. This enhances the flavor.

The coffee packets are undersize so water goes right past them and produce no coffee! When you pick a packet up it is incredibly light weight so apparently there is very little coffee in them!! Do not purchase!

The media could not be loaded. I'm so obsessed with this cialde pods, 10/10 to flavor, they are compostable, so if you'd like planet friendly things this is the most sustainable option for you. And guys for real, look how pretty they look in my office

I use these in my De'Longhi Stilosa. I open them and pour into the portafilter i make a double for cappuccino. The pods dont fit well in my machine snd i prefer tampping my grinds for a better espresso.
