I’m new to the nespresso game and don’t know anything about different blends really. Would you be able to do a video recommending which blends to use for different types of drinks? (Americano, latte, cappuccino etc). Maybe somebody else would find this useful i’m not sure?Or if u have already made a video on this can you link me it please? Couldn’t find one. Been loving your reviews keep up the good work 😎👍🏻
Thanks mate, glad you like them. We do need to make more videos like that as definitely as think they're helpful to people. Did you see our Top 5 Nespresso Pods with Milk video we did, as that may answer a few questions? Here's the link but agree we need to do more like it 👍 - th-cam.com/video/VrypS9ugDDk/w-d-xo.html
Well that’s very interesting as I stood in Sainsbury’s yesterday trying to decide what Starbucks pods coffee to get! I look forward to the next video with all the rest of the pods. I do think that’s a bargain price and now I know Nespresso make the pods I am assured the quality will be excellent as always. Hope you were both ok after tasting all that coffee! Thanks very much.
Great to see this review mate, I absolutely adore the house blend - it’s up there with one of my favourites and that’s including the ones from nespresso, I’ve just bought a box of the Colombia myself too so looking forward to trying that - as always, top review 👍👍
Just wanted to say I really appreciate your channel. I got my first Nespresso machine (Creatista Plus) in December and your videos are what helped me decide which one to get! I’ve been watching ever since 😊
For me, this review would've been 10 seconds long "don't buy it" "RUN AWAY" It's comes back to taste for sure (brand name for few) I only tasted burnt. Horrible coffee, even the blonde
This channel has been super helpful while I've been looking into buying a Nespresso (got a Creatista Plus on the way now!), I've seen your videos on the Grind and Halo coffees but I was wondering if you'd review some more eco pods from the likes of Lost Sheep or Pact coffee. The Independent has a great article covering a few different kinds!
Thanks and really glad the videos have helped. We did review some pact pods in the past but wish I'd got a variety pack of them to test all the flavours. Haven't heard of Lost Sheep though so will look them up 👍
@@A2BProductions Great I’ll keep an eye out! Just to let you know I found all flavours of the Hotel Chocolat coffee pods in TK Maxx. £2.99 for a box of 10 and £9.99 for a box of 60 😊
I wish the vertuo Starbucks ones where available in uk! l actually love the variety of cup sizes for vertuo machine just such a shame that it’s Nespresso pods only
@@A2BProductions fingers crossed! I’m on the verge of getting an original machine aswell but think I’m taking my coffee obsession too far 🙈the Nespresso inissia is reduced to £60 on currys right now too! Not heard much about that model though 🤔
That's a very interesting question because it's not all about bitterness. Intensity can include how much body the coffee has, how rich the flavour is and even strength of aroma as I understand it. The roast and level of bitterness are a part of it as well, though.
Hi, I’ve been given citiz without manual and I don’t want to be forceful in setting it up. I can’t see how I clip the espresso shelf on? I’m sure it’s obvious 🙄. May I ask you guide me please. Thank you.
Not yet but had a delivery of the Nespresso lungos again recently and will be doing a video or two with them soon, so will try and pick up some pike place to compare 👍🏼
Yes as long as you're buying the ones that are compatible with OriginalLine machines. I only say that as you can buy VertuoLine Starbucks capsules in the US now.
Hi 👋 These are the Original Nespresso Starbucks pods so are not ‘spun’ like the VertuoLine but there is still a bit of debate as to whether these create true crema even though brewed using pump pressure
@@A2BProductions Can you recommend any other light roast 3rd party pods that are better quality than Nespresso? I didn't find a single decent pod in the sampler back I bought.
As far as ones available in the supermarket or Amazon I liked all the illy pods in their own way, so you could maybe try one of those. Of those from online companies I enjoyed the Halo Pacamara but can't remember what roast they were, we reviewed them on the channel. Planning to review others going forward.

Yeah looking forward to trying the house blend again after tasting all those Nespresso World Explorations lungos recently, see how they compare 👍🏻
Great to see a new video from you, love the Starbucks Blonde (my favourite in iced coffees). Sorry to hear about Abi's elbow.
Cheers Christopher, yeah I wasn’t expecting to like the blonde espresso so was really surprised with that. Thanks, will pass that on 👍
Blond lungo is my fave. Cheers from Florida USA 🇺🇸
Yeah the blonde roast was really nice as espresso, need to try as a lungo now 👍
Just wanted to say I really appreciate your channel. I got my first Nespresso machine (Creatista Plus) in December and your videos are what helped me decide which one to get! I’ve been watching ever since 😊
Really appreciate that and glad the videos helped. Like your choice of machine too 👍

"don't buy it"

There is now a 9th pod. Italian roast.
I will recommend you BREAKFAST BLEND of Starbucks!
Great videos, I’ve been enjoying the Holiday Blend pods by Starbucks. Have you tried/reviewed the Hotel Chocolat coffee pods? Thanks!
Not yet! I'll check them out soon 😁👍
@@A2BProductions Great I’ll keep an eye out! Just to let you know I found all flavours of the Hotel Chocolat coffee pods in TK Maxx. £2.99 for a box of 10 and £9.99 for a box of 60 😊
We have one nearby, will take a look 👍 Thanks

Yeah hope it won’t be too long before we get the Starbucks Vertuo capsules over here!
@@A2BProductions fingers crossed! I’m on the verge of getting an original machine aswell but think I’m taking my coffee obsession too far 🙈the Nespresso inissia is reduced to £60 on currys right now too! Not heard much about that model though 🤔
Not sure a coffee obsession can ever be taken too far 😅 Hoping to review the Inissia soon, will try and bump it up the list 👍
nice...i hope they can sell it here in UAE...hehehe
shout out from a FILIPINO living in ABU DHABI...❤️
Hope you manage to get some 👍🏻
I also buy the Starbucks Blonde Blend Sunny Day Lungo capsules, they are intensity 6, but a longer drink..... really nice.
Yeah there are a few new ones out we need to try and also review ☕️😁 Will try and get hold of those soon!
Thank you both for making this video. 🙏
Look forward to the subsequent parts...
Thanks, me too ☕️☕️☕️😂
What machine is this compatible with please
Where is your pod holder from?
It’s from the Nespresso website. It used to be called the Lume Mia but think it’s called the Display Mia dispenser now 🙂
@@A2BProductions thank you
What does the intensity mean please? Are they a stronger/bitter taste the higher the number is? thanks.
That's a very interesting question because it's not all about bitterness. Intensity can include how much body the coffee has, how rich the flavour is and even strength of aroma as I understand it. The roast and level of bitterness are a part of it as well, though.
Would you drink any of these with sugar?
Honestly mate I haven’t tried. Hope others are able to give an opinion though 🙂
from all those capsules only 2 don't left you with ashtray after-taste -- the blonde and and the pike are ok all the others are garbage to me
Hi, I’ve been given citiz without manual and I don’t want to be forceful in setting it up. I can’t see how I clip the espresso shelf on? I’m sure it’s obvious 🙄. May I ask you guide me please. Thank you.
Oops, realise to put them both together before attempting to put it in! 🙄
Can’t find the comment, but apparently Pike Place is very similar to Vienna (Linizio).
Interesting, will have to taste test those 👍🏼
@@A2BProductions do you remember which lungo Pike Place reminded you of?
Not yet but had a delivery of the Nespresso lungos again recently and will be doing a video or two with them soon, so will try and pick up some pike place to compare 👍🏼
Morning (from Canada), love Starbucks but I haven't heard much about their availability for Vertuoline. Heard anything?
I haven’t to be honest, still waiting for them here in the UK
@@A2BProductions I'm sure you will find out soon enough LOL.
what pod flavor do you like best? will try ordering these today ☺️
From the pods in this Starbucks pack I'd say the Sumatra and the Espresso Roast. If you prefer a low intensity one then the Blonde Roast was nice.
Thank you really very good information 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Glad it was helpful and nice of you to say!
Can I take any credit/views for the love this video is getting? Great video mate. Looked forward to this for a while 😊
I think you deserve all the credit! Thanks for the suggestion mate and sorry I didn’t get to it sooner.
@@A2BProductions appreciate that. I think these types of videos are the ones which take your viewers and subs higher. Look forward to more.
What are the classes you are drinking from
Hi there 👋 They will be from the Nespresso View range which are available on the Nespresso website. Hope this helps.
can i use starbucks capsule in nespresso mini c30?
Yes as long as you're buying the ones that are compatible with OriginalLine machines. I only say that as you can buy VertuoLine Starbucks capsules in the US now.
Does Starbucks does these for nespresso vertuo?
Nespresso do make Starbucks Vertuo Capsules in the US but not sure about other countries.
Could you review the starbucks pods for the vertuo line if you can get your hands on it?
Will get hold of them when they’re available in the uk for sure 👍🏻
@@A2BProductions if i mind reading right I think there only at target in usa
Do you know if they're going to bring the Vertuo Starbucks capsules out in the UK? :D xxx
I’ve no idea I’m afraid, will certainly pick some up for review if I see them though 👍🏼
@@A2BProductions Thanks so much! I'm really enjoying your videos :D xxx
Nespresso have confirmed they have no plans for the Starbucks vertuo line in the uk 😕
Starbucks is the "IPA of coffee".
nespresso wanted to get into the supermarket market and so Starbucks was born
your channel is awesome! congratulations!
Really appreciate that, thanks 👍
Do they have any for the vertuo line?
They do in the US but not in the UK yet when I last checked.
@@A2BProductions thank you !
Aribucka?
Om the pike place so good
Glad you like it 👍
@@A2BProductions wish i could get it for dolce gosto coffee maker iv got it in instent
Yeah it’s strange that as they do make dolce gusto pike place for other countries 🤔
From what I saw from James Hoffman, the nespresso head isn't crema..it's just air from being spun
Hi 👋 These are the Original Nespresso Starbucks pods so are not ‘spun’ like the VertuoLine but there is still a bit of debate as to whether these create true crema even though brewed using pump pressure
