I've recently gotten into the capsules. I have several brands, and use them in my Instant Pod coffee machine. I am enjoying the capsules so much that I have been having a major hankering for it well after my window of caffeine. I have not had the Nespresso brand yet (yeesh, SO expensive) but I figured I would go with the original brand for what I hoped to be a good DECAF. So I splurged on this 50 pack.I must say... I am pleased. It doesnt taste like decaf. Has a gorgeous coffee taste, and it hits the spot when I want to keep on drinking coffee but really must stop the caffeine. Delightful! I usually brew it at 2 or 4 ounces for the deepest flavor.I'll probably spring for the regular dark capsules by this brand given how pleased I am with the decaf. Wish it wasnt so pricey, but I dont rate on price anyway. We all have different budgets, needs, preferences, etc. I rarely get coffee out, but when I am at a place that has actual espresso, I usually buy a couple of shots, which sets me back much more than a couple of these. So I guess I am saving in some ways. That's what I am telling myself anyway, haha.No coffee or basic home machine is going to create the same experience that a dedicated high end professional espresso machine is going to create, but it tastes good enough for my basic needs. Overall I would say that I very much like this Nespresso brand, and the decaf has been a worthwhile purchase, and I will likely keep on purchasing it. I imagine I will go through all 50 of these in a short time. I can't stop drinking it. YUM!!
