Belmio Flavor Variety Pack Coffee Capsules, Vanilla,Chocolate and Caramel Espresso, 50 count

Great Nespresso capsules, good taste. Overall 5 stars; just giving it 3 stars for "value for money" because lol these things are not cheap (especially for coffee junkie like me)

These were great and fit my instant pot espresso/coffee maker

I opened the capsules to see what kind of grinds were inside, and they were very finely ground. To me, that results in a pretty strong coffee - which is what I want - the most bang for my buck or capsule. I tried the chocolate flavor first, because I love chocolate and it was a strong coffee, but I didn't really detect much chocolate flavoring or notes - it was very pleasant coffee, though. I tried the vanilla flavor second. It was again a strong coffee, and I tasted notes of vanilla - I liked it much better than the chocolate. The caramel flavored capsule had nice notes of caramel. There was nothing artificial about the flavors of any these coffees - and they pair well with cream or a flavored syrup, if you so desire. I was just a little disappointed with the chocolate flavored capsule. Overall, these capsules make great cups of coffee with no mishaps, and I recommend that you try them. They are well worth the 69 cents for each cup of espresso!

Great taste!

I’ve tried Belmio capsules in the past as an original Nespresso capsule alternative, and I liked it a lot. Priced at $.69 per capsule, it might not be the best alternative to save money, but to diversify and vary the options of flavors and roastings, Belmio capsules were my top choice. Now with this new flavored variety pack launch, my tasting result still stands for the top alternative choice to the originals. I am not a big fan of flavored coffee because of the cheap artificial taste I get from the coffee most of the times, but I have to say that Belmio made this variety pack quite likable. The pack has two sleeves of vanilla, two sleeves of caramel, and one sleeve of chocolate flavor, totaling 50 capsules. Each capsule has net weight of 5.2 grams, which is slightly more than other third party maker’s capsules. So how’s the taste? “Oh, nice~!” was my first reaction. A single shot of lungo pour yields good enough coffee, but double shot of lungo pour made the better tasting coffee in my trial. A single lungo felt slightly watery for me, and another way to make a better one is to have a double shot of espresso pour with an added desired amount of hot water, fyi. The flavoring wasn’t overwhelming, and the coffee still tastes like good quality coffee. Vanilla and caramel flavors were sweet and had a delightful aroma, but my favorite was chocolate. All three flavors seemed to be medium roast, but the chocolate one has a slightly darker roasting taste, and the chocolate flavoring goes well with the coffee. The amount of flavoring is minimum to preserve the original coffee quality, and I appreciate that it is not completely sugar coated over the coffee. Overall, this multi flavored variety pack is not disappointing. I like the quality of the coffee and the minimally added flavor in recyclable aluminum capsules.
