Lavazza Lavazza Ristretto Noble Dark Roast Coffee Capsules Compatible with Nespresso Original Machines, Ristretto, 10 Count (Pack of 6)

dark and rich - everyone that has had it in my office loves this espresso.

Expiration date is coming soon, but is ok with us

I have been searching for something that tastes like the Lavazza Intenso for Keurig Rivo (machine discontinued), but for Nespresso. The Lavazza Ristretto is full bodied and strong, but bitter. The aroma is ok, but not great. I ordered the Lavazza Armonico. That one is aromatic and flavorful, but weak. I then made a Lavazza Armonico single espresso and a Lavazza Ristretto single espresso in the same cup in my Nespresso. I stirred gently to retain the crema. The aroma was wonderful and the flavor and after notes superb. This combination is almost exactly like the Keurig Rivo Lavazza Intenso pods!! Finally, after years of searching. I will always have to have a double espresso to achieve the taste, but it is worth it.

These ristetto pods brew with heavenly crema. If you don’t have time to brew in a moka pot or have a machine to pull shots by hand, buy these. Big bonus the pods are aluminum, not plastic.

Absolute crap. I will get a “dud” capsule 1 in 3 or 4. This is an abhorrent ratio. The capsule will either give very very little coffee (and the machine stops because no water can come through), or I’ve had around 5 capsules in 60 give me straight out water, and the capsule not get punctured. This has been reported more than a year ago, and still hasn’t been fixed obviously. These capsules are just a terrible deal. You don’t get 10 capsules in a pack, you get maybe 5. Terrible stuff. And the coffee is not particularily good. Avoid at all costs.

Overall a great deal for some relatively strong coffee. The coffee is smooth, not acidic what so ever. For Nespresso coffee pods they are one of the stronger ones I've had, however compared to a genuine espresso they are mild in strength at best. Great flavour and value.

We've bought nothing but Nespresso "Arpeggio" capsules since we first bought Nespresso machines something like 10 years ago. We have always bought them in Italy, for something like 37 euro cents per pod. I was last in Italy in March, and brought back 450 capsules with me. We are now running out of them. Amazon -- and Bloomingdales, etc., all charge about 75 U.S. cents for a Nespresso "Arpeggio" pod, so I decided to try Lavazza "Ristretto". I find it definitely better than "Arpeggio" -- and, of course, a whale of a lot cheaper, at 33 U.S. cents per pod. I just bought 300 more pods. Before Covid, we were in the habit of spending about three months each year in Italy, and we regularly drank Lavazza, in cafes and restaurants, and at home before Nespresso came along. We will continue to drink Lavazza Nespresso pods. They're better and much cheaper.

My favorite coffee for espresso every time I have a family gathering they ask me to make a cafecito for them because they love it too
