I love the flavor of the Monteciello pods, but they are not filled quite as full as the Intense pods and do not work as well in my Nespresso machine. Sometimes I only get a few drops of coffee because the pod doesn't get punctured right away. That never happens with the Intense pods.

Had this in while on vacation in Costa Rica every morning. Stoked to enjoy the same flavor back at home!
I first tasted these pods when I was in Costa Rica, I was delighted to find out I can get them in the States. Beautiful aroma, each sip brings back a memory.
Thank you!!
I love the flavor of this espresso! Cafe Britt is fantastic. Immediately after I left Costa Rica, I placed an order. It is so different than the coffee in the states! no bitter taste. and, since touring the farm, I know EXACTLY where it comes from, the work put into the coffee, the care put into it, and that makes me very happy.
Discovered this coffee while on vacation in Samara. I haven't had coffee this good in years. Definitely better than Starbucks! When I left Costa Rica, the one thing I said I would miss the most was the coffee. When I discovered I could order it and have it at home? Absolutely fantastic!

Thought I was getting pods but got capsules instead. Put two into pod holder and got best cup of coffee rivaling Kona coffee. But not practical. Need pods!
Been using Brit Coffee since we discovered it on our first trip to Costa Rica. It’s been several years now and it by far is the best coffee my wife and I have ever taste. Just ordered another case. of the MONTECIELO TARRAZÚ espresso, coffee. We look forward to starting every day sitting together enjoying our espresso. Thanks

Dear Tim,
Thank you so much for your kind words and continued support over the years. We’re thrilled to know that Café Britt has become a part of your daily routine — especially those moments you share over a cup of Monteciello Tarrazú Espresso.
It means a lot to us to be part of your mornings. Thanks again for choosing Café Britt!
Best regards,
Coffee is OK. There is one annoying issue, however. When I put a Britt capsule in my Nespresso-branded coffee maker, the first 3 to 4 seconds after I push the button to activate the brewing process, what comes out is clear water, and then the coffee appears. The result is weaker coffee. This problem never occurs when I use Nespresso, Peet's, or Lavazza branded capsules. I tried to understand the problem, and it appears that, with Britt capsules, there is a 3- to 4-second delay before the coffee-maker "pops" the capsule, and starts the brewing. To mitigate the problem, I hold my cup out of the way until I hear the "pop", and then promptly slides it in to catch the coffee drip. This keeps most of the clear water from flowing into my cup, and improves the quality of the brew. It would be better, however, if you could change the design of the capsule to eliminate that problem.
A little bit strong than the eco capsules but also extremely weak. Need to use two to make a cup of joe! It’s a shame that the more robust blend is out of stock!
I am not a coffee drinker however I did order for my wife, who enjoys the taste. I would like to comment on the service. A package was lost somewhere in shipment and the service to resolve the issue was excellent and friendly.
Thank You

I didn’t realize these weren’t the same size as k cups. My fault though I should’ve looked better into it. Haven’t used them yet, but will just break open the capsules and put them in a regular filter to brew. But everything I’ve gotten from Café Britt has been great.
