illy Espresso Capsules for Nespresso Classic Machines: Intenso Vs. Forte- Crema, Taste, Pod Size

Review of illy Espresso Aluminum Capsules for Nespresso Classic Line machines. Review of illy Espresso Intenso pods and illy Espresso Forte pods. I compare the illy capsules to the original Nespresso capsules in terms of size and shape. Many want to know if illy Nespresso compatible pods will work in a Nespresso Classic Line machine. I demonstrate how both the illy Intenso and illy Forte pods work in a Nespresso machine. I'll show you how much crema the illy Espresso pods produces and how the illy aluminum Nespresso compatible capsules pull by making an espresso shot of each. I also compare the taste of illy's Intenso capsule against the taste of illy's Forte aluminum capsules. If you use illy Espresso in lattes and cappuccinos, you may favor one over the other.

Good content! I've tried many different capsule brands and Illy is one of my favourites.

Yea, I have several Nespresso Classic compatible capsule reviews on this channel and illy ranks up there. I recently tried a new brand that I think is relatively new to the market (I have to double check) and I'm very impressed. On sale, each pod came out to about 30 cents! I'll be reviewing it soon, so please check back. Thank you for the comment. Enjoy!

Very usefull video. Thank you. I plan to buy a Essenza Mini 30 for summer vacation. It is small enough to carry, and I hoope the coffe is better than breakfast coffe from the hotels. I am curious if Illy or Lavazza it has a better taste than original capsules?

Thank you for the positive feedback. You must love your espressos to hump an Essenza Mini in your luggage! I end up buying a bottle of Starbucks espresso or one of their Mochiata drinks if my room has a mini-fridge. I also bought my own water heater (it looks like a small thermos) because I got sick of cleaning out the coffee machines in the hotels for 30 minutes ( I was extremely thorough). Anyway, taste is subjective, but for me, the original nespresso capsules still more "oomf" to them.... Stronger isn't the right term, but they are just unique somehow to all other capsules. The cost of original nespresso capsules can add up though. I think the illy and LavAzza are great alternatives and I recently did a review on a new brand that I think is very good and offers unbelievable value at the price point- I had a link for the sale price on amzn in the video. I'm not sure if it is still available. I think you'll really enjoy your Essenza Mini.
