Has anyone tried these in an Essenza, please? How'd it go? I tried the CM capsules, and they were too tall.

I have only used them in my Nespresso Citiz, so cannot give advice on the Essenza. However, my experience with the capsules was mixed. Although they fit my machine, the quality of the finished coffee was not nearly as good as the Nespresso caps....I tried several brands to make sure. Also, sadly it seemed to only produce decent coffee on the espresso setting, not on the lungo setting. It was a nice idea, but not good enough to please me - I have gone back to using the Nespresso capsules.

They work less than 50% of the time. I find you have to 'over fill' them so they get punctured

I find that lots of people have problems with large capsules, best way is to make sure you swallow it long ways on with plenty of water, you will be OK then.

I don't have problems taking capsules, so I'm not sure what your limitations are. They are not too big of round, they're skinny. They go down pretty easily. I take two at a time and have no problems.

The capsules work great! But for me, I have not found a coffee I like as well as the Apreggio I got hooked on.I filled only what I was going to use at the time.

It's not bigger than regular capsules. I have a hard time swallowing big pills too and I never had a hard time with these.

HI, The capsules are not big. The tablets maybe cheaper, but the capsules may dissolve better. Happiness...

I don't know. What do they look like? How big are they? Take one to an Nespresso store and compare them to the capsules.

Thanks. I will give them a try. I read somewhere that you need to use ESE type pods. I guess the ones in a "tea bag" type would work. Too bad about your machine. I am very happy with mine.

I would definitely return them. I received some a couple weeks ago and they were great! The quality control of size is lacking. 75% of them are normal size. The rest range from normal to tiny. But, they are much cheaper than "Red Hots" so, I can live with that.

I just swalled them whole, since they are capsules I dont think you can cut them in half or anything. They DID NOT work for me, after 3 months I stopped ordering them.

I'm sorry for my delayed reply; I had just ordered some when you asked about it. I received some, and yes - the bottles and capsules are much smaller. I've taken it a few times and it seems to be effective. When you think about it, the original capsule size was pretty big for 5 milligrams of the active ingredient. I assume (and you know what that actually means) that they've just made it more concentrated, so the capsules and bottles can be smaller. (Search YouTube for "Odd Couple - assume" if you don't know what I mean!)

I would have to say "Yes". I have the same container and I would say the capsules are small even though it is not stated on the outside of the container.

It's hard to describe a size. I have no problem swallowing both capsules at the same time. If that helps.

I have always used the capsules and found them to work really great. Hope this helps.

they are not as big as some, but are a bit bigger then I would like them to be...one thing that really helps me get my supplements down (I too have a hard time sometimes with pills they stick), but first swallow some liquid, then put capsule in your mouth put in more liquid swish it enough that capsule is wet and then look down when you swallow as capsule pop up in the water where as tablets sink...this will help it go up, over and down your throat then of course finish with more liquid...hope this helps! This is a great product though really helps with gas, bloat and inability to digest food...:)

Hello Rodrigo, mi pills are working great so far, i dont think the product suffer any effect due to the pressure change cause the caplets are not completely sealed, the pressure affect some products in the case when there is not room to expand or contract the product itself inside the container, so i think you will be absolutely fine if you receive your pills deliver by air.

Now they are round uncoated tablets. I find them going down the wrong pipe, so to speak, a lot. Much prefer the capsules, so I'm considering changing brands.
