Small pods cheaper than Nespresso (but not much either) for a hidden actually taste fruity, soft, round and very pleasant. The cafe has a nice foam on top. Plastic capsules (with a metal part like the original capsules) are in individual bags and lot of ten in a nice cardboard box (which could, however, be less to save space). VERY nice and I found the taste of Carte Noire that personally I love because I always find it very balanced.
