So... What's so good about Nespresso? They're pushing this product hard. It's all over Chinook Mall with their own shop, and Hudson's Bay.

I don’t know if it’s so much been them pushing the product hard as responding to demand.
For the longest time the bay stores didn’t even carry the coffee, I used to buy it in bulk when I was in Phoenix and bring it back.
Customers bitched and complained and eventually we got a bay location which carried the coffee. But the bay didn’t carry everything and they kept promising their own dedicated stores which could stock all of their products and the dedicated stores are far better than the bay ones for sure. After a year Calgary got a second location.
Every time I go to the bay or the dedicated stores there are lots of people inside, most actually in line to buy.
It’s definitely a trendy thing right now, not sure how long it will last though? Overall it’s still superior to coffee I used to make and gives me the option of espresso when I feel like it.

so I bought a batch of compatible capsules just to compare... so far, they all fall flat. Not that the product is that bad, but I do find its inconsistent piercing the plastic, and the foil on the front breaks easier (resulting in more required cleaning).
The coffees even have good reviews, such as the cafesso and taylors of harrogate that I tried, but it seems that all the variations comes short when it comes to the body and fruitfulness in general (can't generalize all the nespresso flavors)
I think the Plastic pods may have something to do with it, as unfortunately there is something consistent tasting with all those pods regardless of brand.
When it comes to my favorite nespressos now that I've gone through many of the 250 discovery, and the intense pack (yes I have an addiction) is still:
1. Dharkan - AM Latte double shot or espresso
2. Ristretto - AM Latte double shot or espresso
3. Kazaar - AM espresso
4. Rosabaya - PM single cappuccino or Americano
5. Envivo Lungo - AM/PM Straight up Lungo
5. Roma - PM latte or cappuccino
6. Dulsao - PM cappuccino
I do have to say, the Livanto is very pleasant. Maybe the most pleasing for everyone Espresso (like McDonald's) and is the base for every variation flavor. I use it to make my cafe' Mochas or I'll use the variation for Mochas as well
The Arpeggio is really good as well, but in the intense line.. the Roma has less acid, and if I want something sharp, I might as well move up to the Ristretto which is more exciting or the Dharkan
IMO the Kazaar is like that Turkish cup of coffee... savored straight up but is definitely not a routine espresso for me.
I don't know why, but the COSI and the Volluto are super popular as is the Vivalto Lungo, but they just don't do anything for me. They aren't "bad" (I really don't think any are) but they aren't IMO an espresso roast. Its like for people who don't like espresso but want a good cuppa latte/cappuccino.
**Edit on how I like to consume the above**

Bumping this.
All through pandemic and today, line ups to get into this store.
I just don't get it. Did Taylor Swift or Oprah claim they loved the brand?
I have pods delivered to my house for free lol.
So I can’t relate

At work we are nearly out of k-cups for the Keurig. But there's lots of Nespresso pods. So that's what I've been drinking. Can confirm its better than Keurig.

For one the coffee is significantly better. Secondly, you can get parts for well over a decade if you need to.
