Regarding the price: Coffee amounts to 32 cents, so cheaper than Nespresso and there's no minimum order for free shipping
Regarding capsules, packaging is plastic, a pity that it is not biodegradable: like Nespresso must be opened to retrieve the marc (and put it in the garden) before throwing the packaging in the household rubbish. .. not very green!
On coffee: each capsule is in an individual package, when opened there emerges a real coffee aroma, very nice!
the taste of the coffee itself is quite correct, intense enough to those who like strong coffee (our case). It's not the best I've drunk capsule version, but this is far from the worst. We stay in a mid-range suitable for daily use.
Of course nothing beats the little Italian coffee machine ... that's why I put only 4 stars
