Because of the extraordinary value (under 30 cents per cup with subscription pricing) I consider this a good choice. Like the prior reviewers, I wonder if the denseness of the pod is an issue; my machine (nothing fancy, a sub-$200 Briel) consistently draws a cup about twice the volume as when I use the similar Illy brand pods. The result with the Lavazza pods isn’t the best cup I’ve had, but it’s the best 30-cent “hit” around! I’ll continue my subscription as long as the value is this good.

I needed an alternative to grinding my own when time didn’t permit doing it properly. My Starbucks Sirena Espresso Machine, Stainless and Black came with an ESE pod holder so I decided to give it a try. The pods do not seem dense enough coming out of the sealed packet to make a good espresso but the end product proves otherwise. Nice and very consistent crema over the course of the last forty shots. The pod has to be positioned just so to avoid the filter’s tab from overlapping the portafilter seal but this is easily accomplished. The taste is smooth and similar to what I would get from a fresh medium roast Columbian, not at all like the over roasted concoctions that other’s bill as an espresso roast. It is so quick to pop a pod out and put a fresh one in that double shots and entertaining are easy to accomplish. That’s my main problem now, I’m only grinding my own when I want something different and have a leisurely amount of time. Weekdays = ESE & Weekends = grind. Looks like Lavazza is now my standard cup.

Great Espresso Pod. I use it with my Breville 800. Good flavor, and its quick and easy to dispose. At first I was running into problems with the pod but followed anothers advice and now it works great. You need to wet the pod filter first, then put the pod in and tamp it down. The moisture on the filter helps hold the pod down. Other than that it works great. Buy with subscribtion and save…

Lavazza makes a fantastic coffee; however, these pods, designated ESE, do not work well with my Francis! Francis! ESE espresso maker. In comparison, it takes an average of 20-22 seconds to pull a shot with the illy ESE pods. These Lavazza pods take, on average, 5-8 seconds — way too fast! (Maybe the coffee is not packed well enough inside the pods?)
When in Italy (and here at home), I drink a lot of illy and Lavazza, but, sorry to disappoint, these pods were not up to par! Of course, if you’re in a rush in the morning, maybe shaving off 15 seconds is a good thing!

I bought these to use with a Handpresso portable espresso maker. The first few shots that I made came out a bit too quickly (as others have mentioned) and had a slightly wattery taste with very little crema.
THIS ISSUE CAN BE RESOLVED!
After the first few shots, I decided to add some additional tamping pressure to the pod by pressing down on it with a solid object (I found that a mason jar or coffee mug both worked great) with the hopes that this would increase brewing time and provide a more satisfying shot.
It worked, and now my shots come out perfect, with good flavor and tons of crema. I have to give these pods four stars for the poor tamping, but fortunately this is something that can be resolved quite easily.
