Nespresso VertuoLine Double Espresso Chiaro Reviews Summary

Taste and Flavor

Pros:

• "This espresso pod does justice for me! It has helped saved me money as I’m able to make my own drinks at home."
• "Premium grounds and the nespresso brings out its flavor effortlessly."
• "Love this coffee. I drink it black, or can add some oatmilk. I also love to drop in a peppermint puff. Either way 💯 love it."
• "The Altissio pod... The coffee flavor is rich, smooth, with chocolate notes and velvet texture/ mouth feel."
• "This espresso is amazing, and I believe it has better flavor than its brother the Scuro."
• "The Chiaro is smooth and has a delicious flavor. Makes me glad I have the Nespresso Vertuo because it’s truly the best espresso pod I’ve ever found."

Cons:

• "The last two shipments I noticed the taste was weak barely there I had to star brewing 2 at a time."
• "This time I ordered 3 boxes and they are terrible... extremely weak with a weird flavor."
• "The taste isn’t the best. Overall, they are a decent option for occasional espresso drinkers."
• "I tried these in every way possible, they taste horrible imo.. it has a very very strong bitter taste but not from being a strong level its just an odd bitter flavor."
• "The coffee sent, even though it appears to be in genuine boxing the coffee did not taste like it should... was very bitter."
• "I've been ordering this Nespresso coffee from Amazon for the past couple of years... but it's quite expensive per cup."

Shipping and Delivery

Pros:

• "Amazon shipping is faster and the price was similar."
• "So far been ordering my nespresso through Amazon and they arrive next day, no issues with packaging."
• "Ordering the pods from Amazon is super easy and fast."
• "They also ship out really quickly!!!"
• "I’ve tried before and it’s a great strong espresso (for strong coffee lovers espresso double shot etc) idk how the package will come from amazon but I’ll keep you updated if anything changes!!"

Cons:

• "I won’t be buying from Amazon any more, instead ordering from their website."
• "Since ordering this batch of espresso pods, I have only had success with five of the pods... Nespresso store on Amazon is not actually the Nespresso store."
• "Delivered as expected, which was great. Would repurchase, but I'm so over the price of Nespresso caps and being relegated to their brand."
• "I can't say enough wonderful things about this line of coffee. If you can imagine the most delicious espresso you've ever had, and then put it in your kitchen, and having access to them whenever you wanted."

Compatibility and Confusion

Pros:

• "These 'capsules' are for the Vertuo variety of Nespresso machines. I tried to vary the quantity of coffee brewed and got a great balance of flavor and volume."

Cons:

• "Purchased these prior to opening the espresso maker since it was a Christmas present... Unfortunately they do not fit."
• "Searched the ALTISSIO DECAFFEINATO and this was the first and only result so I assumed this was the decaf one. Beware that it is easy to get confused."
• "I like the Vertuo system for the versatility if nothing else - the ability to do more than espresso or ristretto which was a limitation of the Original line."
• "These capsules do not work with the original Nespresso machine; 40 capsules in number, 20 in 'Altissio' (Intensity 9), 20 'Diavolitto' (Intensity 11)."

Quality and Freshness

Pros:

• "This product is fantastic. A bit pricy, but you still can’t beat it. The consistency and quality are simply top shelf."
• "I love the taste and ease of Nespresso Capsules VertuoLine, Fortado Gran Lungo Americano, Dark Roast Espresso Coffee, 30 Count Coffee Pods, Brews 5.0oz."

Cons:

• "I've ordered these twice before and they were fantastic. This time... they come put extremely weak with a weird flavor."
• "We use our Nespresso maker multiple times a day... Since ordering this batch of espresso pods, I have have gone through all the two pods from all four boxes, and I have only had success with five of the pods."
• "I got these delivered and didn’t notice that they were already expired. When they were delivered they were already expired a few months back."
• "The coffee was within expiry date but was 6 months old... The coffee was stale and bitter with no flavor or aroma, that I experienced when I used the same capsule from the box that came with the machine I bought."
