The Italian Lungo capsules are consistently delicious. I’ve not had a single defective capsule and I’ve gone through almost 4 boxes (40 capsules).
I’m so happy I found these…. My favorite nespresso capsules (besides the amazing forest almond that was limited and discontinued over a year ago) are Vienna Lungo, Buenos Aires Lungo and Paris espresso. But these Lungo Italian capsules are just as delicious and I find myself reaching for them more than any of my nespresso capsules now. I don’t mind spending g more for quality products and have been purchasing nespresso capsules for years. I’ve tried others out of curiosity…. Starbucks, Target, Peet’s, etc…. And I usually go back to the nespresso capsules because they are just better. But these are amazing…. On par with my top pics from nespresso and at 25cents each it’s an unbelievable value.
I noticed there were some reviews saying that they aren’t compatible with their nespresso machine….they ARE compatible with ORIGINAL NESPRESSO MACHINES. There are 2 types of Nespresso machines that use 2 very differently shaped capsules. The original machines use the original small capsules like these. If you have the vertuo machine with the big, wide capsules it’s obviously not going to work. I remember ring confused about this when I first bought my pixie years ago too.
These work great with my nespresso pixie which is an original machine and I’ve not had a single dud. The general consensus is that the original espresso machines makes a better, fuller, more authentic espresso. I can’t say if that’s true or not because I’ve only ever had original machines. But I do love it.
Original review:
Decided to try these because the price was amazing and reviews were overall pretty good. I bought Crema espresso and Italian Lungo. I added a video showing them brewed in my original pixie nespresso machine and a quick taste test…
The Crema flavor is, in my opinion, acidic and bitter. I don’t like that one straight but it might be good with a little frothed milk. But it’s intensity is 9/10 so if you like that strong taste with a definite acidic flavor profile you may like it. It’s fine for cappuccinos but I usually drink mine straight.
The lungo Italian is AMAZING…. I’m so impressed by that one. Super smooth and delicious all in its own. Doesn’t need anything at all.
I added a photo of my top 3 nespresso pods and these…. I go back and forth between Vienna and this Italian roast (first 2 on the left) as my favorites and will continue buying and enjoying them both.
