I liked the pods the 16 intensity coffee is quite nice and strong. The hot chocolate is also very good. My only criticisms would be I would like to know the type of bean used in the coffee. I like a strong coffee so maybe more variety would be good. My favourite high street coffee is the wild bean cappuccino at BP petrol stations. It is strong to smell and taste but has a smooth, creamy finish. I would really like something like that still retains the strength and smell once milk is added. I would rate your coffee as one of the best I have tried so far for my nespresso machine.
