Nespresso Capsules Vertuo, Double Espresso Chiaro, Medium Roast Espresso Coffee, 30-Count Coffee Pods, Brews 2.7oz.

The Double Espresso Dolce is hands down one of my favorite Nespresso pods! It has a smooth, rich flavor with just the right amount of intensity - not too strong, but still gives a great boost to start the day. I love that it’s not bitter, and the subtle sweetness really comes through. It pairs perfectly with milk for a delicious latte or cappuccino. These have become a staple in my morning routine - highly recommend for anyone who enjoys a balanced, mellow espresso with great flavor.

A sampler came with the purchase of my Nespresso, and I identified the Chiaro as a favorite immediately. I know i like a dark roast and gravitated towards those options in the sampler. They were all tasty, but chiaro was a clear favorite. I'm not good with notes but I will say it's robust, bold and smooth, producing a delightful crema and providing me with a nice wake up in the morning. It's so tasty, i use some steamed oatmilk, a dash of splenda, and Starbucks hasn't seen a dime from me in over 2 weeks!I also sought out reviews when choosing which flavor of nespresso capsules to purchase first. Most are sold in groups of 30, that being one of the better values anyway on amazon. Chiaro was one of the most highly rated amongst reviews of dark roast capsules! It was a clear choice for me after tasting the one sample that came in the sampler pack. I also really enjoyed the Dioppio Blanco, and Fortada, both dark roasts and espresso options. I am already on my 2nd order of 30 capsules...i have to remind myself these are double shots and to pace myself so as to keep my caffeine intake in check...it's that good!I highly recommend this flavor of capsule. It hits all the right spots. I'm not well versed in coffee, I don't quite understand notes but I do know I like a good dark roast, and I certaintly like certain brands and flavors of coffee from popular brands like Peets, Starbucks, Green Mountain and a few smaller local brands. As someone who used to frequent Starbucks, Peets Coffee or other barista almost daily, the Chiaro has made my switch to homemade espresso beverages so easy and delightful! I look forward to my morning coffee ritual so much, it smells like my very own coffee house every morning! The espresso brews quickly, in about 40 seconds or less.I did see some mention in reviews for this capsule, or the Nespresso itself about the size of the output this capsule makes. On the sampler package, there was an informative diagram on the back that broke down the flavors into categories of type of beverage. Some categories were espresso,double espresso, coffee and one other. There was also included volume amounts in ounces. The espressos make about 1 ounce where the double espressos makes about about 2 ounces, double the size of an espresso. The capsules meant for coffee beverages made 5-7 ounces of coffee. Whomever left those reviews didn't understand that and thought there was something wrong. The beverage is meant to be enjoyed wirh extra liquid, either milk or water (if making an americano). As I stated, I made a latte, using about 6 oz of steamed oatmilk. The chiaro double espresso and oatmilk together produce a strong, smooth coffee beverage totalling about 8 ounces, closer to the expected size.I do plan to branch out and expand my experience with other flavors I tried in the sampler. Another feature of the diagram on the sample packsging were included flavors "you may also like" listed below each flvor. So that if you enjoyed one flavor, you were given recommendations on others to try. I've kept that diagram and plan to reference it along with Amazon reviews when selecting my next package of nespreaso capsules. I do suggest you start with chiaro if you like dark roast. This is a good roast you cant really go wrong with.

These espresso pods are my go-to for a quick coffee fix. The Chiaro roast is smooth with just the right medium intensity, and the 2.7 oz double espresso is perfect for a satisfying shot without being too strong. Easy to brew in my Nespresso machine, and the 30-count pack lasts a while. Great flavor and convenience for espresso lovers!

Consistently Delicious and ConvenientThese Nespresso pods make having high-quality coffee at home so easy. The flavor is rich and smooth with a great crema every time. I love how quick it is—just pop one in and go. If you’re a coffee lover looking for convenience without sacrificing taste, these are worth it!

The quality of these espresso pods is exceptional. Prior to using these pods, I was unaware of the depth of flavor I was missing while purchasing standard varieties from grocery stores. The intensity of the flavors is significantly enhanced, prompting me to reorder. Furthermore, the double 3.7 oz. shots are an ideal size, making these pods highly recommended for espresso enthusiasts.

The Nespresso Vertuo Double Espresso Scuro delivers a deep, dark roast with rich cocoa and subtle spice notes. Each 2.7oz pod brews a smooth, full-bodied espresso topped with thick crema. It's bold without bitterness—perfect for straight shots or milk-based drinks.Reliable, convenient, and eco-conscious through Nespresso’s recycling program, this 30-count pack is ideal for daily indulgence. One of the best Vertuo options for those who appreciate intensity and flavor.Highly recommended.

This pod has become a staple in my rotation. It’s smooth, balanced, and has just enough strength to start the day without being too intense or bitter. It definitely leans toward the lighter end of the espresso spectrum—closer to a mellow medium roast than a full-bodied Italian-style shot. Great for people who want a gentle wake-up or a mid-afternoon pick-me-up without the jitters.The crema is rich and consistent (as expected from the Vertuo system), and it brews perfectly every time. It pairs well with milk for lattes or cortados, though the flavor can get a little lost if you use too much.My only reason for knocking off a star is that it’s not as bold or layered as some of the other Vertuo espresso options. If you prefer strong, complex notes or a deeper roast, this might feel a little underwhelming. But if you like your espresso smooth and easygoing, this is a great everyday option.Overall, it’s a high-quality, reliable pod that delivers a mellow but satisfying shot every time. Worth keeping stocked for daily drinkers who prefer balance over bite.
