Achille C. 5 As an Italian I always had issues with refillable pods, they were not working well with my Nespresso Inissia and the results were more or less underwhelming.However this pod is a different story, I can be confident about its quality and using Lavazza grind from Italy I had the same result from Kimbo use and throw pods (which are my favorite).The cream on the top is present and the aroma doesn't have burnt hints proof of a good pressure.100 Happy purchase Esce davvero un espresso buono!
