Decent for the price, a tad less potent than a normal shot
These capsule are okay. I tested about 5 of them from different boxes, to see how well they run through my Nespresso (Inissia). The fit and finish of the capsules is similar to many other of the better after market capsules, using a foil seal instead of plastic. During use, they do create a reasonable level of crema (but still not quite as thick as factory capsules), and a reasonable espresso that is a tad weaker than what you would expect. This being said, they were not bad, and for the price, they are a lot less expensive than factory capsules.
Note: I suspect the product settles a little during storage, as I netted better results, if I tapped the capsule on the counter a few times, to loosen the capsule contents before use, leading to a slightly better tasting espresso shot... (Just an observation)
