Lavazza Espresso Maestro Decaf (DEK) Aluminum Capsules Compatible with Nespresso* Original Machines, Medium Espresso Roast, Arabica and Robusta Blend (60 Capsules)

I have been buying different Lavazza Nespresso compatible capsules and all of them were of high quality and tasted good. However, this Decaffeinated coffee is terrible. It is weak & watery and tastes like dripolator coffee.

A wonderful way to reduce my caffeine intake. I have 310mg of caffeine before work with my double espresso wake-up and my 16oz brewed coffee travel mug for the commute. I switched to decaf options throughout the day and I now feel better having made the switch. I rotate through four decaffeinated Nespresso Original Pods: this Lavazza Espresso Maestro Decaf (DEK) (7/13), Peet's Decaffeinato Ristretto Espresso (9/13), L'OR Ristretto Decaffeinato Espresso (9/13) and Target Good & Gather Signature Decaffeinated Lentando Espresso (8/13). I enjoy this melody that offer excellent flavor, aroma and crema without the bitterness and acidity. All work well in my Nespresso CitiZ and are recyclable through the Peet's recycle system. I have been able to buy the Lavazza, Peet's and L'OR capsules in larger quantities and subscription specials on Amazon for a better value. This is a review of a melody of different decaffeinated flavors that I recommend for an enjoyable reduced caffeine intake.

We love Lavazza Italian espresso! The quality is terrific, just as good if not better than Nespresso. The decaf is pretty strong and works well combined with a non-decaf Lavazza pod, especially a stronger/darker choice. But also makes a great homemade latte with 2 of the decaf pods. It's also a good espresso on its own. They have a nice creamy foam on top like all other Lavazza espresso pods/capsules. These work great in our Nespresso machine, we've never had any problems. Only complaint is it will say it's 'Prime 1 day' or 'next day' delivery... but I promise you ...IT'S NOT! EVER. I've ordered these for over a year, almost every 3 weeks and they always come via UPS. And it's aaaalways a minimum 4-5 day wait, sometimes up to 7 days. And UPS often damages the box, so a few pods are typically unusable (but when delivered via standard USPS, never any issues with damage). Anyway, just be aware when ordering them that you will not receive them as quickly as promised!!

Very weak and watery so probably for folks that prefer something very mild

This is really good coffee! You would never know it's decaffeinated. The only issue I have is with the capsules and I hope Lavazza fixes this problem. Sometimes the capsules crush in the machine causing it to struggle while dispensing. This causes some of the coffee to back up into the drip tray, so you don't get the right amount in your cup. Other times it can come out a bit watery. Not every time but sometimes. I never have this problem with the Nespresso brand pods. The 40 ml espresso gives the best flavor and crema, and the 110 ml Lungo tastes like a nice cup of regular coffee. They are definitely worth buying it but be forewarned.
