Heads Up. Nespresso has Cuban coffee in stock.

Available in both original and Vertuo formats.  Get them before they're gone!

I miss their Costa Rica one. My favorite of the regionals!

It has been out for at least a year but recently out of stock. It is not a permanent item so who knows when it will disappear. There's also a Puerto Rico special release that's out right now and very good as well--quite similar to the Cuba to my taste.

 

EDIT: Still is out of stock in the US.

I have not but have heard concerns about the capsule material. That's the rub with most off-brand options.

Right now in Aus, we have the Aged Sumatra Limited Edition. Personally, I find it too weak with very little flavour. Just doesn't have enough punch for me. My personal preferences are; India, Inspirazione Napoli & Kazaar.

Same here in Hong Kong Fuzz. I agree with you and find the aged Sumatra weak and lacking flavour with little crema.

Is this the thread to post CC pics? ?

Just got my latest delivery.

[maverickdrinker]

Ordered as soon as I got the email from Nespresso. Quite tasty. Might need to place a second order...

Couldn’t find any in stock so ordered the Puerto Rican.

I just ordered like 100 capsules a week ago and they were out of the CC. So it's back in stock now???

Not sure. @maverickdrinker and I are located in Canada, so your mileage may vary.

Edit: Wonder if it's tightening sanctions...

What is considered the best exported Cuban coffee?

Thanks for the heads-up.... just placed my order ??

[maverickdrinker]

Picked up some this afternoon at the nespresso boutique in Toronto. Seems like decent stock still.

I like Cubita (whole beans preferably). Most Toronto cigar shops carry it

Sonuva.... Nespresso!!! Bring it over to Australia!!!!

[maverickdrinker]

Good deal at Costco business Centers in Ontario right now. 100 capsules for $28.99. The reviews are stellar. Picked up a box today to try. Hopefully, it lives up to the reviews. Good value at 0.29 cents a pod.



I also posted this in the ‘let’s take Nespresso’ in the food thread. Come join the conversation if you are a Nespresso fan...

Thanks!

Are these aluminum or are they plastic? I ask because most of the compatible pods I have seen are plastic. Just a personal preference.

They are plastic bottoms. It’s seems only IIly and Starbucks are full aluminum from what I have seen so far on third party Nespresso capsules

Hope this helps

Thanks, that's actually very helpful. I've really enjoyed the Starbucks ones (though they're official, nespresso co-branded, so no discount and maybe a premium due to starbucks), but didn't know the Illy ones were aluminum bottoms too, and haven't tried them yet.
