This ristretto and No. 7 are accompanied by a minimum of 8 different varieties for sale on Amazon.
Then the price was greatly reduced. These always fully compatible cartridges with my Delonghi machine cost 0.25 / piece against a minmum of 0.35 to 0.45 / piece for the original.
And the taste does one tell me? I confess that I am unable to see the difference with the original Nespresso.
If you really want an espresso with unrivaled Italian taste, I advise to go to Rome to San Eustachio coffee, and there to 1.10 at the counter, there is no competition.
But it is not easy to go there every day!
For me, after tasting 7 and Ristretto, I now buy my Delonghi Nespresso capsules for my Amazon, with the Carte Noire label.
My advice to other owners of Nespresso machines to do the same you will find chose.Vous financially, and not lose anything in quality.
