"A Really Good Light Roast." 2010-04-12
By RickH (College Station, TX United States)
I bought this coffee for my girlfriend who prefers light roast coffees. She absolutly loves it and I'm ordering a second 3 pack today. I'm more of a medium to dark roast fan but I have to admit that this is pretty good stuff. The coffee is in a plastic bag inside the outer paper bag. If you're a fan of light roast coffee I would definetly recommend that you give this a try.

"beware: the bags are NOT sealed!!!" 2008-04-11
By Vegas Slim (Las Vegas)
I thought I was doing the right thing by buying this coffee as Camano Island Coffee Roasters produces a lot of shade grown, fair trade coffee. Buying from amzn means buying in bulk. I can't believe this coffee arrived in bags that are not vacuum sealed! Both this decaf and the regular I ordered are just in unsealed paper bags. Anyone who knows anything about coffee understands what air does to it. Well this coffee arrived stale, with no life in it. I have 3 lbs of coffee that is not drinkable. I can only imagine how long these unsealed bags sat in a wharehouse. The beans are roasted evenly and probably were very good when fresh.

"Poor customer service" 2010-04-24
By Roseann Williams
I ordered two cartons of Nips sugar free candy based on the picture on Amazon.com. The ad clearly states 0 sugar carbs. They are not. Amazon won't refund my money. Buyer beware. Very very very poor customer service.

"You won't believe they're sugar-free!" 2010-02-01
By DrPerman@aol.com (Florida, USA)
Really delicious! Start out firm and become chewy (careful if you have loose bridge-work!)and are a great treat if you are trying to avoid sugar/carbs and like the taste of coffee candy. Remember that these are sweetened with "sugar-alcohol" which has a laxative effect if you really overdo it, but a few over the course of the day really satisfies the sweet tooth without all the carbs of regular candy. I think they're great!

"Great tasting candy" 2009-11-29
By K. Hamacher (NYC)
I love eating these candies. The only reason that I am not giving them a 5th star is that they are very attached to the wrapper. I can be a bit of a sticky business to get them from the bag onto the tongue, but the taste is worth it. And 10 calories per pop is not too much given their rich flavor and sweetness.

"Amazing... Use it for "Regular Coffee"" 2008-12-12
By Kenneth J. Mueller (Washington, DC United States)

"These are the greatest!" 2009-06-30
By Susan E. Gray (Philadelphia, PA)
I just recently decided to start making my own lattes at home to save some money, so I went out and got an espresso machine. I started out using the Lavazza ground espresso because these pods seemed a little pricey, but I could not be happier that I finally tried these! They are super easy, and much neater than grounds. They just make a perfect cup of espresso... I will definitely be buying them again!

"Great Esspresso" 2008-12-03
By Almir Velagic
If you have a semi-automatic and hate the mess and the cleanup then this ESE pod will be a gift heaven sent. Lavazza does make great coffee by the fine balance of roast and aroma. It is a widely used brand across Europe for a reason it appeals to massive tastes. I would recommend this procduct whoever likes their esspresso a bit on the sweet side.

"Decent pods at a good price" 2008-09-30
By R. Cabell (Erie, Colorado, USA)
Chose these pods mainly on price; I was looking for a "name-brand" coffee that wouldn't break the bank. They're pretty good, but not as good as Illy or Starbucks. I'll probably try a few other brands before settling on one in particular.

"Excellent Coffee Pods--Foil Sealed for Flavor" 2009-10-26
By Tallgirl77 (Washington, DC)
This is my second order of Timothy's Coffee Pods, and last time I ordered the Hazelnut flavor, which was not available this time around.

Here is what I love about this product:

1. They are in individual, foil sealed packets. I am single and do not drink enough coffee to keep the open container fresh. And they look great in the basket...

2. The flavor of the coffee is exactly what I like...warm and flavorful. I do not like strong coffee. I do not like bitter coffee. I add cream and sugar to my coffee. I am not a coffee snob. But my guests seem to like it too.

3. Here at Amazon, I can buy in bulk and have it delivered to my door. Two nice boxes of coffee. Sealed for flavor. Ready when I am.

The price is a little more than at the stores for the small packages, but the flavors are limited at the store and the convenience factor is not there.

"best quality for the $ so far..." 2009-09-22
By Yann Baudic
This is the right way to make a Senseo pod in my opinion.

I just wish it was a little more "potent".

I will try different roasts from the same brand and will undoubtedly find what I'm looking for: a good and affordable home made expresso.

"No Flavor" 2008-03-26
By C. Chen (California, USA)
I have been using senseo coffee pods for the past 4 years, and after reading some reviews about the weight of senseo coffee pods (less than 7g) and this coffee pods (10g each), I have decided to give this a try. I was hoping to use this pod to create a 8oz coffee (since this pod has 3g more than senseo). However, it has no flavor at all (taste like water). So I started to use it to create 4 oz coffee (hoping to get a better result). In my opinion, it still has no flavor. If you are a senseo coffee pods regular user like me, and want to save some money using a bigger pod, this is probably not a choice for you. Amazon do not take grocery return, so you won't be able to return it (now I am stuck with 50 pods I don't like).

"Great espresso in a jiffy" 2010-05-03
By Ian F. Shifrin (Silver Spring, MD (right outside DC))
My wife and I love this for lattes and mochas. I have a cheap grinder that never did justice to my Rancillo, but didn't want to spring for a new one. This pre-ground espresso has been the answer.

"good price for a great product" 2010-04-15
By Mark Twain (California)
This is a bit milder flavour and more fruity / acidic than the qualita rossa, which I also really like. I would maybe choose the rossa over this one for lattes etc. ('cuz it has a bit more body to stand out in the milk), but for straight espresso and when I'm in a mellower mood, inblu is great.

Excellent value in the 4-pack.

Some of these espresso pods were fresh and some were stale.

Fresh pods smelled like Folgers. Stale pods smelled like stale Folgers. They make okay espresso.

"TB" 2010-04-22
By Thomas Buckley (Burlingame, CA United States)
Love these Lavazza pods. Good crema , mellow chocolate taste. Brand new Gaggia classic being used for espresso. I have found that tamping the pod and slightly wetting makes a great pull with wonderful results. Repeated attempts with grinding my own beans have not come close to ease, simplicity and taste of these ESE pods.

"Not fresh tasting. Bitter." 2010-01-31
By David J. Thompson (Sheridan, IN United States)
I expected better from Lavazza having been introduced to it in Rome last year. In perspective, I usually grind my espresso beans (Brazil Sweet Blue is my favorite) immediately before brewing and I always buy beans that have been roasted no more than 1 week ago. This obviously skew my taste toward fresh product and these pods are definitely not that. Convenient, though.

"Great espresso from a pod? Yes!" 2009-11-19
By Michael Meikson (New York, NY)
I have had plenty of espresso in coffeeshops that was inferior to Lavazza pods. Good, strong, flavorful blend -- in a convenient and reliable package. That said, it's not the same as just-ground, perfectly tamped coffee run through a $10,000 machine -- but it's a great daily cup.

"Good crema, good price, and consistent espresso" 2009-11-05
By Michael A. Duvernois (Minneapolis, MN United States)
I like these and both of the Espressione (classic & 100% arabica) E.S.E. pods. Have had some bad luck with other pods (Baronet in particular). These are very consistent in the espresso that they make and have excellent crema. And they're the least expensive that I could find on amazon or locally, so I'd recommend them pretty well. Grinding my own coffee (and having roasted it as well), I sometimes make a better espresso than the pods. But not everytime if I don't get the grounds tamped just right. 150 pods should last you a week. At least!
