Has anyone compared Greek Nescafe's flavor (plain) to Nescafe Clasico? Just wondering if they're similar, or if one is more acidic than the other. THX

I am not certain about how the acidity would compare. However, the color and coarseness of the coffee granules differs from one version to the next. That's not to say that frappe cannot be made with the Classico version; but it is different. Our family just prefers the Greek.

They seem very similar to me. The Clasico seemed a bit stronger but otherwise the flavor was very close to each other.

To my taste buds Greek Nescafé is as close to the real deal that my YAYA drankI buy it I have tried Nescafé Classico and it taste like instant coffee NOT like Greek Nescafe

I can't really say one was more acidic than the other, but they def taste different. I like the Greek one best. It tastes smoother. But classico is okay too. The greek one has coffee from Africa so its bound to taste different than the Latin american one. Hope that helps.

The one I buy is espresso, this picture says Hazelnut Creme... So maybe it's the flavoring! Each one is different.

Does anyone know the difference between the Nespresso Essenza C101 Espresso Maker and the Nespresso C100T Essenza Single-Serve Automatic Espresso Machine? Besides the price, what's the difference between the two?

hm-m-m, I believe there is a difference between the two in taste. But we've never tried to brew Starbucks espresso at home, so it's unfair to compare if prepared in different machines.

I have had a variety of Nespresso machines over the years and found them to be extremely convenient to use and the coffee they produced was very acceptable. The Jura replicates the simplicity of the Nespresso and in my subjective opinion provides much better tasting coffee. 1. Convenience : Jura Micro 1 equals the Nespresso 2. Taste of Coffee : Jura Micro 1 exceeds the Nespresso 3. Cost of Acquisition : Nespresso is cheaper than the Jura Micro 1 4. Cost per unit of coffee : Jura Micro 1 is cheaper than the Nespresso

The Starbucks Pods DO NOT work in the Nespresso machine. I just found out the hard way. I was excited to see Starbucks coffee pods for $11.99 (a dollar each) so I bought two boxes thinking I would use them at work this morning. WRONG, they are too big, save yourself the headache.

I buy this in Italy for about 7euros on sale, the 4 pack kilo, whenever I go. When I am not in Italy I order it here for double price. It is the same as what I buy there, only there there are many choices for the Crema e Gusto, I like the Napolitano Gusto. Also I prefer the Lavazza Rosa. Crema e Gusto is a lighter blend that has espresso but I don't think of it as their real espresso. I would go for the Lavazza Nero or Espresso (black package/container) for the full flavor espresso, very strong, pure espresso. Lavazza Rosa is a bit stronger than Crema e Gusto but still a nice blend.

Before I found this Italian Roast, I was a French Roast drinker. I prefer the Italian Roast. It's worth a try!

I actually like Cafix better than Roma -I use a rounded teaspoon with 7 drops of stevia/ 10 Oz cup along with 1/2 and 1/2 to make it more like coffee. Also a bit of ground Cardamon and / or Cinnamon enhances the flavor for some people

Just stay away from the usual American blends and you'll be fine. I usually use Lavazza Roma or Prima Gusto but I heard Illy is even better. Lavazza Roma is a bit less intense compared to Gusto but its upto your taste requirements.

No, they are not. Nescafé has two types of capsules meant for different coffee makers : Nespresso coffee capsules are only sold at Nespresso shops and are much smaller than the Dolce Gusto ones. Dolce Gusto capsules are sold in the mass channels, that is, hypermarkets. supermarkets, etc. Each brand has its own range of coffee makers.

I purchased the Coffee Duck refillable pods, and they worked marginally but made EXTREMELY weak coffee with no crema (the espresso foam) on top. We were so bummed! We have a custom grinder and played around with setting it to super fine, medium fine, etc. and nothing seemed to help. We tried packing the pods tight, leaving a little room, etc. and still the coffee sucked. Stick with the capsules; they're expensive up front, but worth it in the end. Plus, Nespresso's capsules are Rainforest-Alliance certified, which is the highest certification for both sustainability and fair-trade. You can also recycle your pods now by turning them into Sur La Table. Hope that helps!

the type with stronger taste is Turkish. The mild type is Indian. Companies switch depending on what is available but the label doesn'tindicate which was used. The stronger the taste the more of the active ingredient Thymoquinone or TQ.At this time I can't find any vendor who has Turkish.

Nescafe has changed the name of the coffee from Regular to Original, they are still the same coffee though, just different packaging. The Original is the improved version.

Be sure to use Non-Bitter Stevia, not the regular. Huge difference in taste! We use NuStevia brand, and have had no issues with a bitter after-taste. DGB

You have to use the Nespresso's coffee pods! I have to tell you that this is Fabulous machine! I watch for the specials that they have & free shipping from time to time. That's when I stock up. The Nespresso machine & coffee are a real treat for me now that I've found my favorite flavors. I hope this helps! It is also so much easier to clean than older styles of espresso makers! I know some people may be thinking of the Keurig capsules which you can use your own coffee for that machine & they say they would rather buy them already filled.
