CRU Kafe pods
I have just tried these. They are very nice; four different types. So much better than the Nespresso ones, which, in my opinion, all leave a bitter taste in the mouth.

Great coffee, great service
We're long standing nespresso fans, on our second kitchen incarnation with built in Amelie machines. Then we recently discovered this. If you like nespresso coffee you'll love CRU Kafe. The site was easy to understand, ordering a cinch and the coffee is fantastic. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Only tried 2 coffees so far...
Received my order promptly. I got the starter pack and the Cajamarca grounds, which is delicious. The pods work perfectly in my nespresso machine and are recyclable which is very important to me.

Good coffee but not suitable for Kitchenaid Nespresso machine
Pods were packaged well and delivered quickly. Coffee quality is good however they cannot be used with my Nespresso machine so will now go to waste. When using these pods water leaks through the machine causing the drip tray to fill/overflow and producing a very small cup of coffee!

Hi Kate,
Thanks for getting in touch and letting us know. Seems strange as we use a Kitchenaid in our own office and at trade shows. \one of our customer care team will be in touch imminently to help you resolve this issue.

Great service and even better coffee
All their coffee tastes very good and if you place a large order you even get freebies!!
Would be nicer if their free postage threshold was a little bit lower, say £25 or so.
