Were nice and happy to try again
Very nice flavour not too strong or bitter but I only spend $5 on a packet so I only buy whatever brand is that price
These worked well in our machine and were nice and strong :-)
Wellingtonians love L'Affare coffee - weekend ritual at L'Affare
Very nice coffee. Just right for me but not quite strong enough for my husband
These worked well in my machine but the coffee was just not strong enough - and I used 2 capsules at one point! I am still not a huge fan of capsule due to recycling issues.
We’re always looking out for coffee capsules at the supermarket that taste good. These have been our favourite so far
Very nice coffee
These worked perfectly with our machine
We worry that non-nespresso capsules will damage the machine
Very nice aroma. Better than other brands I've tried from Countdown.
These worked fine in my machine although I had to shake the capsule free each time. I always use nespresson but if these were on special I would buy.
We weren't expecting to enjoy this coffee but we both really did and would purchase again
Very nice
These were very well liked by a coffee snob in our house.
We were very surprised of how lovely this coffee was. I love the cute packaging as well. Definitely will purchase in the future.
Unfortunately these did not work well in my nespresso machine (original one bought tqo years ago) it actually jammed my machine and I had to struggle to get the capsule out. Once i replaced it and jammed it into place to try it the taste was not nearly strong enough. I would recommend the capsules be smaller and refine the taste (or have different types of 'boldness' in flavours) overall it was disapointing as I would love an alternative to nespresso pods in my nespresso machine!
These were surprisingly good, but very slow to draw
We really likes these, will definitely buy again!
try and make the capsules biodegradeable
These were one of the best capsules I have had. I will certainly buy these if they ain't to expensive.
We only usually have this in weekends as we rush to work in mornings. Means we don’t purchase these that often. But this was nice I’d buy if I saw it
Tried to buy this week but not available in my local countdown :-(
2 of the 10 pods did not work in my machine, which was quite a high rate I thought. I usually only buy Nespresso pods, but as I buy them from the store I sometimes run out - so if these were at my supermarket I would buy them to tie me over until I could get to the Nespresso store. However if I had another packet where 2/10 did not make me a coffee I would probably not repurchase sorry
A bit too strong for my taste, but would buy less strong or decaf if they have it
A good strength full bodied coffee, worked well in my machine, a quite premium brand for one available at the supermarket.
A great replacement for Nespresso capsules. Good tasting coffee and a good price and convenient to purchase it at my local supermarket. Yay!!
A little too strong for my taste, but worked well. Be good to have other flavours.
A lovely flavoured coffee just the right strength
a really great alternative to Nespresso! High quality and I've since seen them on the shelf and there's a really good range to suit every taste - i would've preferred mine slightly stronger so I'm going to repurchase in a different flavour!
Absolutely loved the taste, but the capsules kept getting stuck in my machine and causing issues.
Absolutely loved these. I am fussy but these will be my new supermarket go to capsules
Again great product, normally it is the price which influences what I buy. I’m also interested in reusable coffee capsules and think l'afarre could look into this from an enviro point of view
Always feel it is a risk putting other brands in the Nespresso machine
Am actually going off capsule coffee because of all the packaging required around each cup of coffee! Switching to stovetop espresso
Amazing taste, will be purchasing again, but like to mix it up
Any non Nespresso brand capsules void the machine warranty, so we avoid them. And I worry about the recyclability
As far as I can tell, these aren't compostable/recyclable or anything like that and have recently stopped using non-compostable pods. Also, in a pack of 10, 2 of them got stuck in the machine and got coffee everywhere.
At least three of the capsules didn't go through my nespresso machine well and were wasted. There seemed to be an issue with them.
Be good to have recycling options on them
Best alternative ive tasted compared to nespresso
Biodegradable or recyclable pods are highly important
Biodegradable packaging is something I look for, along with price
Bland, lacked any real taste
Bold strong flavour that was consistent
Can’t find them at New World Churton Park
Capsules did not work in my machine and only delivered a small amount of coffee
Capsules fit the Nespresso machine but the flow of coffee is very slow compared to the Nespresso capsule. The flavour was ok, perhaps a different blend would be different. Will probably stick to the Nespresso but if a different flavour was better would entertain buying.
Coffee could have been stronger.
Coffee tasted great but I can’t drink too much caffeinated coffee now so have been drinking decaf which I believe is only available in the Nespresso range
Coffee was a little too strong for me. I am not sure if I am going to buy these capsules as I have stock worth over the next 6 months from RH Colombiana.
Coffee was nice, but the capsukes kept getting stuck in my machine & wouldn't drop out properly.
Could taste the chocolate undertones mentioned on the box but not the caramel.
definitely a good flavour and strength and reasonably priced compared to nespresso
Delicious
delicious way to start the day
Delicious!
Delicious, they are a really great taste, I would definitely buy them again and the packaging is awesome!
Depending on price
Depends what is in special as to what brand I purchase
did not enjoy the flavour at all
Didn’t enjoy the flavour a muddy taste, not good at all.
Didn’t like the flavour at all found the packaging very busy and hard to read
Didn’t like the taste
Didn’t work in Nespresso machine.
Didn't compare to the flavour we typically purchase
Didnt like the flavour
Didn't like this at all
Dud to nespresso machine. Didn't find capsules work very well
Enjoy this brand. Nice to try something new.
Enjoyed drinking this coffee as much as u enjoy Nespresso
Enjoyed the flavour and great price iv actually purchased again already however will alternate as they don’t go as smooth on through my Nespresso machine so will continue to purchase Nespresso caps also
Enjoyed the flavour but they were a little strong for me. Would definitely buy them but would get a weaker strength
Enjoyed the taste of this coffee, will definitely buy in the future.
Exciting flavour & packaging
Fantastic product! I’ve already re purchased
Fantastic product! Would like to see a larger pack size though
Fell apart and stuck in machine
Fits in my machine and works well. Nice taste and good strength
For a family that loves coffee we were very impressed
For a flavour that should be strong I would expect a much more intense flavour. I have had coffee at L’affare Cafe in Wellington many times and the flavour is always strong and delicious so I was a but disappointed. Was initially very excited to see them entering the pod market however.
Found this very nice
Good coffee to add to our collection
Good Coffee 👍
Good crema and could taste all the flavour notes listed
Good crema, however a bit unreliable in my machine
Good flavour and good pack size.
Good intensity of coffee
Good strength coffee
Good strong coffee with amazing aromas. Loved the packaging. Will buy in the future
Good taste worked well in my machine
Good to know that i can L’affare to our coffee repertoire :)
Good to see coffee capsules competing with Nespresso, but don't like the plastic capsules.
good to try this Coffee capsule
Good. I personally don’t use my capsule machine a lot as I prefer espresso as it’s stronger. But I sometimes have capsules on hand. I would buy these as they are my favourite supermarket pods so far!
Got stuck in the machine so wouldn’t purchase again
Gotta love coffee
great coffee
Great coffee! Yes, will buy them again!
Great flavor
Great flavour and nice and strong. Enjoyed these very much. Will be checking out the price at next shop and comparing.
Great flavour and thats what counts. Coffee is a treat to be enjoyed so nice to find a great product
Great flavour, work well in the Nespresso machine and I can buy at the supermarket, it’s a win!
Great flavour.
Great flavour. Depending on price, would definitely purchase
Great price, cheaper than my normal pods and great taste
Great strength and flavour
Great substitute as I cant always be bothered doing an online order with Nespresso, so much easier to add this to my grocery shop
great taste
Great taste, will buy again
Great taste. Not too strong and full of flavour. Easy to drink straight as a long black
great taste.. nice for a change
Great that they fitted the machine we had. Now gives us more options.
Great to see a local company supplying these
had a burnt taste and some leaked so had poor flow thru
handy pack size
Happy that they work really well in my machine
He is the big coffee drinker and buyer generally
Horrible bitter taste
Husband is the BIG coffee drinker and he’s hooked on his Nespresso
I alternate between 3 brands each week depending on price, this brand is now one of those three that I choose between
I am a great coffee drinker and enjoed this coffee very much
I am enjoying the capsules. Thanks for introducing them to me.
I am not able to test the coffee capsules as I do nd have a coffee maker.
I did like these and teh coffee flavour was nice. I drink black coffee and the pack said it was strong yet it didnt seem that strong (and I dont like strong coffee) so I liked it but if I had bought it in the shop it was too weak for what it was labelled at (if that makes sense) Great flavour and good pack size
I didn’t like the plastic capsules at least I can take my Nespresso ones back. Best fit in my machine though better than my usual.
I didn't think I could use other branded capsules in my nespresso machine, so was good to try
I don't drink a lot of coffee but I do enjoy this brand more than others I've had recently
I enjoyed this sample. Not bitter and perfect strength
I found coffee capusules nz who i now purchase from. I have tried a lot of brands from the supermarket and nespresso however none have compared. I will now be looking out for these at the supermarket.
I found the capsules weren’t sealed properly. I was still able to use them (ensuring the “split” but was to the top. This may have effected the taste.
I found this way to strong for me.
I hadn't used my espresso in ages but these have reignited my use of it.
I have a nespresso machine and I thought i could only buy nespresso capsules. So good to know that L'affare will work in my machine as I really enjoyed the coffee flavour!
I have a Nespresso machine so prefer to use that brand
I have a preference for genuine Nespresso
I have always used Nespresso because it is easy to order on line, however I was completely happy with the tsste of sample pack and it worked in my Breville and advantage us that I can get while doing my weekly shop.
I have coffee twice a day, starting my morning off with L'affare was great, great flavor, maybe a little strong for some people, but I enjoy a strong coffee
I have purposefully stopped buying capsules due to the environmental impact.
I like how they are strong
I like my coffee very mild so this was not a range for me
I like that they can be purchased from the supermarket great flavour to
I like the aluminium capsules
I liked the coffee and the capsules worked well in my Nespresso machine.
i liked these but usually get the nespresso ones as it is nespresso machine, but would buy these if i run out and need them in a hurry ,
I liked this brand- I will just try it next time with a lower intensity as it was a bit strong for me but the flavour was great. I liked the fact that it is a N.Z brand.
I liked this product, good taste, texture and aroma
I love a milder coffee and really enjoyed the smoothness of the flavour!! Totally getting these in the next shop!! I hope the price is comparable to other pods on the market.
I LOVE COFFEE and really loved the taste of these
I love my coffee and this brand was amazing. loved the flavor and taste .
I love my morning coffee and thouroughly enjoyed the coffee L'affare capsules
I LOVE the coffee, but am reluctant to continues buying capsules as I have heard they are bad for the environment. I will be happy to hear otherwise tho!!
I love to support fair trade and organic coffee only and sustainable coffee pods
I loved the taste of the coffee but the pour through my nespresso machine was not consistent.
I loved these I have tried a few supermarket brands and also seem to go back to Nespresso as they are my preferred taste but they are the most expensive so you expect that but these are a close second for me and easier for me to get and cheaper :) my husband doesn’t drink strong coffee so they were too strong for him
I normally buy these, great they are recycled through terracycle
I normally just buy Nespresso capsules for use with my machine, but both myself and colleagues at work tried these capsules and we like their taste and smell. Bearing in mind that I only drink non-diary milk, not all capsules work equally well but these work great with both milk and non-diary milk. However, there were a few times when we had some slight issues with using the capsules at the Nespresso machine at work, where the coffee capsule did not sit properly and therefore not pierced through correctly, resulting in a milder than usual coffee - my Nespresso machine at home works fine though. We think it might be to do with the shape or size of the capsule and it didn't fit into the gap perfectly.
I normally purchase on a whim .. depending on what flavours there are on special
I normally stick to my same brand but these are a good alternative
I normally use coffee2u but I loved this sample
I plan to try their other flavours. I do like a stron coffee in the morning but like more of a mocha during the day
I Prefer the taste of the Nespresso cApsules. These didn’t seem as strong and I didn’t like the flavour. I was looking forward to them but was disappointed.
I purchase pods from Coffeecapsules2u - New Zealand company where I can send the pods back and they dispose of them in an eco friendly way.
I really want to support NZ businesses and the taste is great, but PLEASE change the packaging - the machine really struggled with these capsules, and you can see the difference between those and aluminium ones by how far the punctures went.
I so wanted to like these! I bought them directly from L'affare online previously. they do not work well in my machine (really slow drip rate) and while they have a nice flavour they are way too weak for me. I've tried all four flavours.
I still prefer my nespresso favourites, but these were pretty good and better for the budget.
I stopped buying Nespresso due to the price and was very happy trying these new L'affare coffee capsules. Thank you for letting me trial them!!
I tend to buy whatever brands are on sale at the time. There are a couple i don't buy, but I will be adding this to the list of ones I do like and wait until they come on special to purchase.
I think what put me off was that the particular Fiero was too strong for me, but I would be willing to try this brands other capsules as the capsules seemed to work ok in my machine and like it that they are cheaper than the Nespresso ones.
I thought before trying this brand of coffee the pods that it might be a little too strong but it's a great brew to drink
I thought this was yummy just would prefer it a little stronger
I tried to get some in my shopping this week from countdown but it wasn't there. It did tend to get stuck in the machine the times I used it. I din't go in straight.
I use Nespresso Capsules because I like the flavour but also so I don’t void the Warranty
I use the machine mostly for decaf as when we have full strength we use the stove top espresso as it makes two. We keep capsules for convenience. These were great. I’ll will look out for decaf if you make it? I often buy what’s on special or cheapest myself as I’m not so fussy but my other half is particular on taste and he liked these ones.
I usually buy my coffee capsules online but if the price is right I would buy these with my weekly groceries as it’s more convenient than remembering to do online order. I will be doing a grocery shop tomorrow so will check price and decide
I usually drink decaf, would L'affere consider bringing out a decaf range?
I was plesantly suprised by these capsules, good coffee flavour, looked good and worked well in my machine. great product and i would buy again
I wasn’t a fan but mother in law loved it!
I would definitely buy these if they worked better in my machine
I would never have chosen this coffee brand, but actually really enjoyed the rich flavour, not too strong and they are a great price :)
I would purchase if there was a vanilla option like avalanche
I wouldn't buy these capsules as my everyday use, maybe for an occasion with people over so I don't have to use my Nespresso pods. I have yet to taste a coffee capsule comparable in quality and taste to a Nespresso pod.
I’m a regular coffee capsules drinker and normally only get Nespresso. Will buy this again in future. Size and quantity and great taste. Should look at expanding the flavours
I'm abit of a stickler onthe nespresso products right now but it was good to know the others are ok.
I'm happy to try new products. It's good taste. I like it.
I'm hesitant to use other coffee capsule brands as it will void my Nespresso machine warranty
I'm hooked on Nespresso capsule so will more likely stick with them
Im still looking for something that is the right strength. I needed 2 capsules to get one decent drink. But will keep trying!
Is the plastic container biodegradable?
It confirms the general excellent taste and quality of L'Affare coffee which we use quite often, even if it is one the most expensive, after RIPE
It may depend on the price as to which brand is purchased going forward. Quite often we purchase in bulk to benefit from the specials offered at the time
It really didn't work in my machine. That's why I wouldn't purchase again.
It was alright but I was expecting it to be alot stronger in taste
It was good
It was just nice coffee but I usually not decide one bland/taste and change by my feeling. so will try it next time but try other bland too.
It was nice but too strong for my liking . But the flavour was awesome
It was really really slow to come through my Kitchen Aid Nespresso Machine compared to all other capsules
It was too string for us. But other family and friends that like strong coffee loved them :)
It's a great cheaper option that I liked.
IT's hard to get capsules that are similar to Nespresso but these were really good.
I've only ever used Nespresso capsules as have been told that other branded products may not work as well and possibly wreck the coffee machine over time. These are super yummy though, so may occasionally buy them.
I've tried Nespresso substitute products before and didn't like but this product was great!
Just dont work very well in machine and could be stronger
Just lacked oomph
Just not my cup of coffee
Just not strong enough for me
Kept getting stuck in my machine afte rcoffee was made. Had to push it out
L'affare capsules need to work well with Nespresso machines
Làffare coffee capsules we received where a little strong but managed to balance it out with some sugar it's a good drop would definitely purchase in the future
L'affare products are very tasty & the smell is devine too
L'affare was very delicious and the taste was right. It was the first sample in the black box that my hubby and I finished as we are coffee deinkers. It fit quite perfectly in our nespresso machine and does not cost as much as nespresso capsules.
Like the vanilla pods I currently use
Liked it but just prefer maconna ones
L'OR is the only non-Nespresso brand we've tried that have gotten the packaging right - these had a bit of trouble extracting. Good taste regardless.
Love coffee capsules as they are so easy to use
Love coffee, love L'affare!
Love it
Love that they are packaged in NZ. I also saw that they are the coffee used at the new Eat My Lunch cafe so keen to support them!
love that they are recyclable
Love the taste and love the packaging!
Love them and they fit in my nespresso
Loved it! Never tried this brand and up until I got it I didn’t have access to a capsule coffee machine but now I do and I’ll be having it again for sure! I want to try other flavours too!
Loved the coffee not to strong soooo nice
Loved the flavour and would buy this product but it doesn’t work well in my coffee machine.
Loved the packaging design. Was worried that the plastic capsule wouldn't work in machine, but it worked well. Glad to have l'affare as option instead of L'or (away from aluminium capsule again though)
loved the taste
Loved the taste and flavour
Loved these!
Loved these! Our new favourite after Nespresso.
Lovely coffee but had a battle with my coffee machine to get it to work
Lovely flavor. Really enjoyed this coffee
Lovely flavour. Just right for me.
Lovely rich coffee
Lovely strong black coffee
Made nice flavour coffee
Much better than other non Nespresso options. Would like to try other strengths / flavours
much easier if I can buy these at the supermarket
My currant brand are easy to obtain online
My family loved the taste of these capsules
my husband is the coffee drinker in the family and he did enjoy the taste but still preferrs Nespresso
My husband loved this and wants me to buy more
My husband loves strong coffee so he really enjoyed. Flavour is nice and no bitter aftertaste. Will be purchasing in the future
My husband really enjoyed these
My husband said that they were his favorite coffee capsules so will be our brand of choice going forward
My husband thought these were the best he’d tried - better than Nespresso
My mum loved these too, as I am not an everyday coffee drinker, I wanted her to try a few out for a few days. She said they were nice, but not quite strong enough for her. Though I felt like they were strong enough. I think the packaging is maybe a little too much. I understand that it stands out, but it almost made me question whether it was actually coffee in it.
My new go to coffee pod, at last I've found a capsule I actually like, wonderful!
Nespresso capsules work best in my Machine, these are nice though for sure
Nespresso machine is broken and will try when I buy a new one
Nespresso machine really struggled with these, sounded like it was going to be damaged. Also not strong enough for me.
Nespressos are recycling ones sorry they win
nice but not strong enough
Nice change from Nespresso
Nice change from normal ones
nice coffee i will see if they come stronger
Nice flavour
Nice flavour but could be a little stronger :-)
nice packaging, a little too strong for me, others liked it though.
nice smooth flavour, just worried it may damage my machine as last time I tried a compatible capsule my machine broke
nice to have another coffee option for my machine, loved this coffee so did my work mates
nice to try something different
Nice, good cream on top to9
No longer have a pod machine
Not quite as good as my normal nespresso and not great in my machine. Also have to pick these capsules out before sending my nespresso capsules for recycling
Not quite strong enough for me
Not strong enough
Not that super in Nespresso machine
Not to my taste but would suit others I'm sure
NOT VERY GOOD PODS FOR NESPREESSO MACHINES, DIDN'T IKE THE TASTE EITHER
nothing to add
Ok but not great
One of the most delicious coffees I've tasted. Our local cafe uses the same brand, I didn't realise I could get it for home too. The cafe will get less of my money now
Personally I found these way to bitter for me.
Plastic capsules are a big no no. Producing recyclable packaging should be a priority
pods were better than their fresh beans, pleasantly surprised
Prefer L'affarare's beans to capsules
Prefer Nespresso however great alternative. May consider purchasing for work.
Prefer not to use pods for environmental reasons, but use them on holiday.
Prefer the stronger capsules from Nespresso
Prior to trying these we had never found a coffee capsule that tasted as good as our favorite nespresso capsules - we now like these better and have purchased all varieties to try!
Probably the best non-Nespresso capsules we have tried
Probably the next best thing to nespresso on the market but so much easier to buy in the weekly shop, very impressive, the packaging definitely stands out which is great
Really enjoyed this coffee, good taste and strength.
Really good, we like trying different brands and this was up there with most
Really good. better than expected
Really liked the flavour ALOT but the foil front came off in my Nespresso machine & blocked up the machine, so probably not really Nespresso compatable
Really nice
Really nice coffee flavour with just the right strength. Capsules are easy to use and work well in our machine.
Really nice coffee...A good brew
really nice flavour - went down well in my house!
Really really nice, the flavour of these were amazing,
really would like awareness of environment and wastage of capsules
Reminded me of the coffee at the local cafe in Rome while i was living there
right strength for sister in law
Save me some $$ as the Nespresso ones a pricy
So good
So pleased with these!
So pleased you put these in my pack! Nice tasting coffee. Will go hunting for more capsules of this brand in a slightly weaker strength
so smooth and creamy. almost as good as barista coffee
Sorry but I didn’t like them, I’m an avid nespresso drinker and like them STRONG but these capsules didn’t do it for me
sorry we didn't like it too strong
Still prefer our Nespresso at home. But hubby took these to work as a good alternative to nespresso
Such an improvement on other brands! Tastes like proper coffee
Surprizing that the pods worked. I have purchased other pod brands that claim to be compatible and they aren't. Great taste.
Tasted great, worked really well with machine with no jams. Another factor that influences my coffee capsule purchase is recycling programs or other ways to make it more environmentally friendly.
Tasty cup of coffee, enjoyed it and will be adding to my collection of choice
Tasty, nice packaging- would buy again
Tend to use brand for my machine
Terrible! They really need to be aluminum! Almost wrecked our machine! The pod tear apart, machine trickles through the pod, got hardly any coffee out of it and it tasted very weak and horrible. Definitely do NOT recommend this product!
The capsules were great, i look forward to purchasing them
The coffee was lovely and I would recommend to others who don’t mind using other brands In their machine, but we do like Nespresso and will stick with that. However, L’affare is our go-to brand for all other coffee including Farro where we have a choice of brand for take-out coffee. There’s just something about using a non-Nespresso brand in my machine that doesn’t sit right. But it sounds a bit silly typing it!
The cost, special offer often influences my choice of capsules. Most important is the taste though
The flavour did nothing for me, prefer Nespresso
The flavour is not as good as Nespresso and they didn’t work quite as well in my machine. However it’s a more affordable decent coffee to have in and supplement my Nespresso coffee. I’d have it as my second cup.
the flavour let them down
the flavour that i got didnt taste as strong as i am used too, but really nice flavours and me nespresso machine took the capsules well
The flavour was great but the coffee merely drizzled out of my Nespresso machine and it took a long time to make a cup
The individual capsules can't be recycled so wouldn't purchase this product.
the plastic capsules got stuck in machine. not ideal
The price difference is attractive compared to other brands. The strength could be improved.
The strong was strong. Wife liked it
The taste was godd but they didn't pierce well in my nespresso machine
The taste was ok but not bad. A bit too sweet tasting and not strong enough
The taste was perfect, I have already recommended them to a family member and they love them to! Thanks for the sample!
These capsules dont work in my machine properly (nespresso). It comes out too slow (drip drip drip)
these capsules have become a favourite in our house
These coffee capsules did work better than other brands in our Nespresso machine. I like buying in bulk so that is why Nespresso works for us however if we are running short I would definitely buy L"affare capsules to use. The flavour was nice and intensity was good. It is great a trusted brand is making these capsules
These did not work well in my Nespresso maker
These had a lovely flavour. You could smell the caramel. Just the right strength.
These pods are a nice alternative to Nespresso, not quite intense enough for my morning coffee But great they are available in supermarkets and still great coffee
These really didn't work well in my Nespresso which is a shame because I had been wanting to try these for a while.
These were a nice alternative to our usual and would purchase when on special
These were a tasty alternative to our normal nespresso. Good to have as a back up if needed extra coffee in a hurry
These were better than we expected!
These were good
These were good, I wish they had different varieties of strength though
These were great - I purchased more using the 'blackbox' promo code. Would definitely reccommend :)
These were great - worked well and taste nice. Much cheaper than nespresso
These were great input new nespresso machine
These were great, definitely would purchase again. Quite similar in price to Nespresso pods though
We loved these. We drink ALOT of coffee in our house and have just purchased a new nespresso machine. These capsules worked great in the machine and both myself and my husband loved the flavour and strength. We will definitely be purchasing more!
Tried them out at work and others agreed it was good coffee 😁
We liked them and it was good to try something different but we prefer our regular coffee brand
Tried the first capsule, didn't quite like it. Find it to be quite bland especially the after taste. Thought I might be biased and tried another one. Still didn't like it. It is way too weak and not tasteful for my palate. Will be sticking to my nespresso capsules.
we have only used nespresso in the past however although I didn't like this flavour I will try others
took these into the office to use in the office machine.. and the team LOVED it! "much nicer than nespresso" was the common answer.
We have bought them for the first time since getting the black box, we bought the decaf for my husband - nice flavour
Too weak
They are a little tight for the machine
They did not taste as good as the Nespresso capsule flavours
They did not work in our nespresso machine
They don't always work in my machine. The plastic capsule is not quite right
They don't work well in the machine in terms of speed of brewing, but I would consider purchasing these because the flavour was good.
They fit in my machine better than most I have tried, however would definitely like to try a stronger flavour next time
They seem expensive
They were nice but still prefer Nespresso
They were nice strength and made a good coffee.
They were ok, but not a rich enough flavour for me.
They worked ok in my machine but just take a bit longer, I am willing to wait for them though!
This coffee was amazing. I preferred this over genuine Nespresso pods. I would love to see a variety of flavours including decaf from L'affare. Would definitely buy this over Nespresso!
This coffee was strong and very nice but I can’t find it on the shelves of any supermarkets in Auckland. The coffee beans and ground coffee is there but not capsules. Hopefully it will be added soon.
This is probably the best capsule I tried! Can’t find it in my local store though!
This product claimed it was compatable with Nespresso and it jammed and broke our machine very unhappy
This was beautiful, well rounded good intensity and worked well in my Nespresso machine, I adored this as an alternative and they’ve got it bang on. Happy with this one, would purchase again
too strong for me but my dad liked it
Too strong for me, and either jammed in my nespresso machine, or foil did not puncture
Too strong however I like this brand when purchasing fresh coffee so would give one of their less strong capsules a try.
very nice flavour, strong but without bitterness
Very nice flavour. Perfect strength. I buy alot of coffee capsules but have not seen this brand.
Very Nice Taste
Very rarely use coffee pods now, they tend to have a chemical taste and awful.
Very yummy
Was a nice top up to my Nespresso delivery
Was amazing coffee but my machine didn’t like them
Was good strength but could of been a little bit stronger. But over all enjoyed. I am a Nespresso buyer for many years but have not bought 2 more packets of Laffare since receiving in the black box.
Was good, look forward to trying other flavors
was ok nice flavour but i like my coffee a bit stronger so may see if they have some other types but also depends on price as these things are expensive
Was surprised at the flavour. Very good.
Was wonderful to take these to work & have as a great way to start the day
Wasn't as strong as the Robert Harris capsules. I love strong coffee
We are currently using a company who collects the used capsules and recycles it. Would be great if L'affare could or use biodegradable capsules.
We drink a 10 when it comes to intensity this was light and more like a percolated coffee to us
We enjoy L'affare but tend to prefer local brands. Will definitely buy again.
We had 4 duds out of the pkt where the water wouldn't run through after being punctured. We would try them one more time but only when they go on special as when you get duds too many times it ends up costing a fortune
We had purchased these prior and will continue to buy them as they taste great and are a reasonable price.
We've really moved to environmentally friendly packaging, so now buying compostible capsules only (unless there's no alternative). Sorry - but that is the biggest decision-driving factor now.
When i had a standard espresso machine years again I used L'affare so was great to see they now do capsules. If the are cheaper that Nespresso I'll definitely buy them instead.
will definetly buy in additioal to my normal purchase.
Will definitely buy these in the future- depending on price
Will try this product again
Worked great in my machine and the flavour was just right.
Worried it will effect the machine - even though it does work
would be good if they fitted our machine
Would love to see compostable pods
Would try laffare in a different flavour in a more intense strength, but not fiero capsules.
Wow I love this coffee it’s a nice change from Nespresso!
Yes never bought these because of their dull packaging but we do like the coffee. Will buy again
Yum! These were really nice. I have never seen them on my shelf before. Now that I have tried them I think they have always been there except the box blends in and I haven’t noticed them. I will start buying these however they are more expensive than the rest.
