Ironically this is what turned me off. After borrowing a Nespresso machine from my brother and buying ~50 different capsules to try out I got stuck in analysis paralysis and decided to go back to my trusted Bialetti moka.
If anyone's curious out of all the variants I've tasted my favourite were two of the cheapest off brands, Kimbo Armonia and Starbucks Blonde - the rest just felt either too "fruity" or too "acidic" for my taste.
- chipotle_coyote 6y agoThe Starbucks Nespresso capsules are actually made by Nespresso, IIRC -- and ironically they're so far the only "third party" brand that I've liked. (Peet's Nespresso capsules aren't as good and they're actually more expensive than the first party ones, and some cheaper ones I got at Bed, Bath & Beyond whose name escapes me were just terrible.)
