This equates to 0.26 cents per capsule. In my honest opinion, the taste of this Lavazza coffee is better than L'or, Moccona, Illy and the new Vittoria range.

Without milk I can definitely tell the difference.
You have sharper senses than I :)
To me, all tastes near the same with milk :|
I have tried almost all the variants among all well-known companies. Moreover, I have to use 2 espresso pods for my standard mug size coffee, that also twice a day :(The amount and type of milk you choose to use is fairly important here.
I can broadly categorize pods into good/ok/shit very consistently in any case, but it's definitely harder to do this when I'm using a large amount of full cream milk.
I use woolies/coles 2% mostly, in fairly large dose. I have a fair few shit pods laying around at the moment due to experimenting with pod options, most of them are going to expire and go in the bin but if I use them because I've run out of preferred options I'll have them with Paul's smarter white or full cream milk to help a bit with masking how shit they are.
@Joku: Agree…I use full-cream framgold :) It's definitely heavy on milk. For a few of the shitty pods, I did use them with cakes and ice-cream/shakes.
I used pods a lot previously… but a few months ago, I tried the Lavazza Intenso coffee powder. 2 tbs of it, a bit of hot water - instead of using 2 pods. Then add milk or however you like it.
So so much better, tastier and stronger. I actually think way cheaper as well! Try it!
Are they plastic capsules?
Look plastic to me.
Plastic with foil tops. I like the coffee, but they drop the ball with the pods compared to other brands.
The quality of the pods aren't as good as the aluminium ones from other brands but I haven't found this to have any impact on the flavour. Sometimes I get a pack where a few pods seem slightly smaller and drop through the machine. I bought a few packs of illy pods, which are aluminium and all the pods in one of those packs dropped through but the other two packs of illy pods were fine so this issue isn't limited to the plastic pods.
non-biodegradable, and made in Europe and imported, lots of carbon footprint on these.
There are other suppliers who are Australian owned/operated producing biodegradable pods locally you could choose to support.
and you pay the premium on that. Too bad not that everyone can afford the "go-green!" price tag :(
I pay $0.37 per capsule (on subscription), and I think the coffee tastes better. Not much of a premium to worry about imho.
What pods do you buy?
@thestig: I get 120 pods per month (2 per day each for wife and me) urbanbrew.co ones (no affiliation), that are made in South Australia.
Can anyone actually taste the difference between pods? Not talking about brand (e.g coles ones taste like dishwater), but the 'flavours' seem to all taste the same to me - with or without milk.
Maybe I'm too used to having fresh beans I dunno :/
