I brewed this pod as a lungo, 5.07 Oz. It made a big difference in the taste. I did not enjoy it at 7.7 Oz, at all. As a lungo, I liked it a lot. I enjoy your channel. Thank you for the great reviews.
I just had it for the first time about 1 minute ago and came directly to TH-cam to see reactions. Thought I was crazy. I think it just tastes like a black coffee from anywhere else. No gingerbread flavor in my opinion at all. Glad to see I am not losing my taste!
I thought about ordering this one. I’m hesitant now. I really wanted to try the peppermint one you reviewed but it doesn’t appear to be available here in Canada.
I was wondering that something was wrong with me because I could not detect any gingerbread (or any at taht point) taste/flavor in it either. Huge disappointment! I was hoping for some rich doughey sugarey gingerbread cookie flavor.
They had it back 3-4 years ago as a fall/holiday trilogy collection, along with pumpkin spice which has been returning and another one which escapes me at the moment. That's here in Canada, though. As for this iteration, I personally like it (with a little milk and brown sugar) but I found the previous version to be very artificial, with a more pungent but sort of obnoxious fake spice flavor. Shame you didn't like it but from what I've seen/heard, it's very divisive.
I ordered four sleeves of this, expecting to be similar to the pumpkin spice pod, which I couldn’t get this year. I was rather disappointed, lack of flavour and smoothness. Just tasted odd to me.
I'd argue that if you have to add syrups or other flavourings to it, it's a waste of money & effort. You might as well just get whatever normal pods you like and add gingerbread syrup to it. You'll get the flavour you want with no further tinkering required.
I agree with you completely on this pod. No fragrance nor flavor to it. Very lame pod. I had high hopes for it but was totally disappointed. Wished I hadn’t gotten too wrapped up in the hype and not purchased at all. Great review!!
I really didn’t like this, I total agree with your review, I like ginger and I thought it might have a spicy taste like spicy chai or something. I’m starting to learn I don’t like nespresso flavoured pods.
I have to say I was disappointed in this pod. 😞 I feel like you have to add so much sweetener for it to taste…. okay. And I I don’t want to have to do that.
Should’ve watched before I ordered it haha
I agree 100%. I had to buy gingerbread syrup to add to it to enjoy it.
Try it with a little pumpkin pie spice creamer, it was really good. Love your videos

You are so welcome and that might be what people will have to do with this pod.

Yeah it’s not you, or maybe it’s both of us….but either way not gingerbread…lol
Awwww, I wish I would have read this before adding it to my Christmas list. Will have to rig it up to be great I guess.
It’s not bad…it’s just probably not what you are expecting
That’s exactly what I thought too!
Ive got gingerbread syrup commimg. I like this one more, way more ,than peppermint pinwheel which i too have peppermint syrup coming for as well.
Adding some gingerbread syrup makes a huge difference
I add gingerbread syrup and it makes it so much better!
I have the gingerbread capsules but haven’t tried it yet. I think I will add gingerbread syrup to it.
I just got a sleeve of the Jamaica blue pods. I find them to be delicious would love to see you do a review and get your thoughts on them
I am assuming you got it for the original line, if so there is a review on my channel for them.
@@ipon70 No I got it for the virtuo line. They have it available for it now
in the UK the gingerbread pod is £7.10 for sleeve of 10 that's £0.71p A lot cheaper than US prices

It’s not here in the USA either, or I should say it’s on and off again. I think they ran short they usually do when something is really popular.

Yeah I had high hopes also….bleh.
I added a little pumpkin spice creamer, really tasted good
@@debbieorrison967 well I added gingerbread syrup and still didn’t taste good.
i have tried the ginerbread and found it to be very ginerey
What’s your Top 5 for 2021? 🤙
That will be coming…:
I really didn’t like this, I total agree with your review, I like ginger and I thought it might have a spicy taste like spicy chai or something. I’m starting to learn I don’t like nespresso flavoured pods.
So glad I skipped this one. I find the Nespresso reddit is spot on with their reviews of most things, and this one got panned.
Too spicy for me
I am glad I didn't get any I have decided I don't like any of the Nespresso flavored pods
Has a slight fresh ginger flavor. Does not taste like gingerbread.
I should have waited for your review. This pod was not enjoyable at all. Have you reviewed the fruity forest pod?
Yes that one was a few weeks ago. And similar results
I love ginger every thing, but this was super disappointing. Tasted barely like ginger and nothing like gingerbread.
I was so disappointed. I hate that I HAVE to add gingerbread syrup to get that flavor
Which defeats the purpose of having a nicely flavored pod…sorry
I thought it was VERY tasteless as well. Not impressed.
So disappointing, glad i didn't order before listening to your video!
So disappointing, it had no flavour or fragrance. Wheres the gingerbread nespresso?
I hated this coffee. Found it to be weak and somehow tasted like dirty water.
😆😆😆
More like a gingerfake😅😅
I have to say I was disappointed in this pod. 😞 I feel like you have to add so much sweetener for it to taste…. okay. And I I don’t want to have to do that.
The worst pod. Don’t taste anything, I’m so disappointed with the flavor. Not worthy $14.
Nope, glad I wasn’t alone in this
Wasn't a fan.
It was so disappointing……
Yes yes it was
