Nescafe Coffee sticks

Well, from the other review, it is amazing how taste varies between individuals. So in order to have any impact on your buying decision, I will elaborate as much as possible.

My first experience with these Coffee Sticks were from a sample mailing promotion of 6 flavors.

First Plus - The variety of flavors made finding one I might try more favorable.
Second plus- The convenient and well labeled aluminum packets made choosing fun
Third plus - The perfectly measured serving took away the brain work - just add water
Fourth plus -The texture and smell were pleasant, without addititives
Fifth plus - The coffee crystal mixed and dissolved thoroughly.
Sixth plus - Flavor was enhanced by coffee mate non dairy and sugar (stuff I put in my reg coffee.)
Seventh plus-I looked forward to every sip during the test, and regretted the last one as I knew
  fun was over.

Conclusion is that these coffee sticks provide a real varied and fun experience from a regular coffee break, with some very refreshing flavors.

You can order the same products online from Nespresso for approx $25 AND you can specify exactly what you want to buy rather than taking a mixture of items, some of which you may not like.

Nespresso makes GREAT coffee and GREAT machines. The Nespresso capsule offers posted on Amazon however are all by third parties who prey on people who don't know better.

These are not authentic Nespresso pods. I realize there were two different sizes included with the order, however, even when using the same color and size pod I would get a different amount of coffee.  Called nespresso who informed me they were knock-offs.

Compared to national branded store-bought coffees, these are a quarter of the cost and almost a buck a piece for each pod gets you a great shot of coffee so it is certainly worth it. The Crema is full-bodied, the coffee tastes great, and the pods are convenient. I took one apart trying to re-use the aluminum casing and noticed there was a small filter under the foil lid, which I'm not sure is for additional water filtration or to enhance the crema. Whatever it's for, it works. I've not been able to get the same quality of coffee with a re-used pod, using the identical coffee, that can be had with the new pod.

I love my Senseo and have purchased several for gifts (as well as upgrading to the newer models).  I have purchased pods from several online vendors and have been fairly happy with most but felt most were overpriced and some staled rapidly, even when individually packaged.  I also have tried the various "refillable" pods and have been dissatisfied with all of them.
The main complaint I have had is the lack of variety in the dark roast coffees in readily available pods at a reasonable cost.
Perfect Pod has more than fulfilled my wishes.  It is easy to use and I can fill the pods with freshly-ground beans, roast my own or even use a commercial espresso grind which I found produced an excellent cup.

I am ordering another as a gift for a friend, to whom I have given a Senseo and who, like me, would like more variety in roast types and flavors.

great, my Senseo coffee maker is no longer in service but I am using the pods in my new Hamilton Beach 2-way single serve. Love it!

Like printer ink, Nespresso makes their big bucks on their coffee pods. That said, the Nespresso Variety Pack is very tasty with an intense robust flavor that you may want to dilute with sugar and/or milk. I enjoy all five flavors included in this Variety Pack and snork down six shots a day. I read some posts from people having problems with crushed or old coffee pods, but my order arrived in two days in perfect condition.

Like all coffee pods, the Nespresso pods are not very cost-effective or environmentally friendly. So I also bought four Sealpod stainless steel pods and load my own Espresso Marco Polo from the coffee store. It's a bit more trouble, but it cuts down on the unit cost and lets me enjoy my favorite cup o' Joe.

I knew what these cost when I bought these and will buy the Nespresso Variety Pack again. But I will also continue using the Sealpod units. Five stars.

one of the best tasting coffees I've tried for the Keurig and you can't beat the cost with a stick!  I got the dark roast, I think I'll try some of the other flavors too.

I bought the Stainless Steel Ekobrew Elite Reusable Filter, removed the "ears", and placed a sticker at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions so I could use any of my coffees.  Works GREAT!

They only WHOLE BEAN fall spice coffee I could find. Hint; you could add nutmeg for more spice flavor.

The machine works fine, kinda loud when making coffee.
The 16 capsules came with this machine has expired... I got a 10% back from Amazon.
Remember you can only buy supplies from Nespresso boutiques or online store, you wouldn't find any capsules in retailers.

Good coffee. Sometimes, we have to move a bit the capsule to fit perfectly inside the Nespresso machine but not a big issue.

Love the variety, and these products are the closest to Nespresso.  I reordered it on a subscription.

Since I haven't tasted the product in the packets the rating may be misleading. This is a comment about the choice of packets over canisters. The coffee itself is a wonderful (and, when purchased in the canisters, AFFORDABLE) treat. It isn't bitter or have an after taste like many instant coffees do.

I was given a sample of the plain decaf packets when I made another purchase. They are a mess to open at your desk and get sticky trapping coffee as you are pouring them into a cup of hot water. No - Nestles - I don't think I should have to run the around the building with a cup full of instant coffee particles so don't even go there. I use a tablespoon of coffee. Bottom line is using packets will be a pain and very expensive.

Perhaps if enough of us complain Nescafe will bring the canisters back. If you agree send Nescafe a message. I don't know if Amazon allows pasting other's web links but it is found by typing "Nescafe coffee" on a search engine.

In all of my years of employment, I have never heard of anyone say anything nice about the coffee provided at work.  If you dislike work coffee, then this Nescafe can be your solution, provided you like the Nescafe taste which can be different than what you're used to.

The obvious advantage of any coffee stick is its convenience.  If you don't have to brew coffee, there is no coffee pot to wash and filter to discard and replace, and you have yourself a portable blend.
