I got more Crema with the Handpresso but the Hamilton Beach made it warmer. They may make slightly. Both tasted heavenly, smooth with no bitterness. By the way, I am not trying to be cheap. I had a chance to test these ese pods when I received two of them with my new Handpresso wild.
Please believe me. By the way those expensive one button machines do not make better espresso than the non automatic ones. I spent a lot of money on expensive espresso machine above $1000 and got convinced not to waste more money anymore. True it needs a lot of work but is better and cheaper than going for the super automatic junk machines they sell nowadays with $1000-3000 each. You get more Crema with Illy but the taste is similar or a little below the Lavazza. If you want to make the ultimate cup of espresso get yourself a manual Quickmill Anita or a Pavoni with expensive grinder and practice different grinds and become an artist. Each Illy capsule costs 75 cents a piece even if you buy 4 cans ( 21 capsule in each ) at a time while the Lavazza pod costs 33-35 cents if you buy 150 pods at a time. I believe this is the most economical way to enjoy a decent cup of espresso or cappuccino.
I used one with the Handpresso and one with my Hamilton Beach espresso maker. better espresso but with repair and maintenance they cost you more than daily visits to Starbucks or other Coffee shops. It comes from experience. Well I can now save some money as I used to use My Francis X8 with Illy capsules. Now my next step is to get some Illy fine ground coffee with a good tamper and use it with my Hamilton Beach, it will cost much less than the capsules.
My espresso has been consistently enjoyable each morning, and the price is much better than Starbucks. I had been buying Starbucks pods for a number of years, but the last order was not as good, so I order these. I am very happy with Lavazzas espresso pods.
Good creme, great taste and come in a large box.I will be buying these again as it appears to be the best value and flavor around. I used to buy pods from another vendor but they have since gone out of business. I bought these and they are very good.
I see the price went up $7 since I last ordered, so fresh ground is definitely cheaper too. These are nice, they are slightly more convenient than grinding beans, but fresh ground is definitely better.
Arrived wellpackaged and in a timely manner. Very tasty, non acidic, great espresso. I will order them again. This was the first time I ordered this brand because I couldnot find reasonably priced Starbucks pods. Lavazza gotgreat reviews; so I ordered a bunch of pods and am gladI did.
