7. Roastworks Coffee Co. Colombia Munchique
The beans used to create this pod are 100% Caturra beans grown by the Herrera family, who have been in the coffee farming business for 90 years.

5. Barista Italiano Delicate Arabica
A more 'delicate' touch in the Dolce Gusto compatible coffee pods world is this classic delight. This traditional Delicate Arabica is a strong but smooth Dolce Gusto pod and is superb in an Americano, hot or iced. It is fragrant and makes a fine addition to any coffee pod repertoire!
The true art of the flavoured pod is all in it’s seamlessness. What do I mean? I mean what makes a flavoured pod “good” is when one cannot tell the difference between a pod and a freshly brewed cup. This is the unique virtue of the Caramelo. The Caramelo hits all the benchmarks for a perfect pod, it has a flavour that does not overpower and it tastes authentic. It carries lush flavour that isn’t packed with sugar, as it is sugar free, and it gives you that caffeine lift you want from coffee. (No longer available....)
3. Nespresso Original Line Arpeggio
This classic style pod is expertly crafted from some of the finest South and Central American Arabica beans. Not only are the beans high quality but the aroma of this pod is truly extraordinary, and carries its own ambiance with every brew. The flavours are artful, with hints of wood along with a creamy, rich and formidable body. This pod is truly a work of skilled craftsmanship and completes any coffee lovers collection.
Toasts Coffee Pods were named Best Buy last year, and to us they still stand out and land near the top. The focus here is beautifully flavoured single origin Coffee from Brazil, Colombia, Rwanda and Sumatra. Sourced from individual farms and only the very best crops each selection makes an excellent as an espresso but equally tasteful if you enjoy a longer coffee which when it comes to a Pod is pretty hard to come by.
1. Barista Italiano Creamy Espresso
And the moment you have all been waiting for! Our best Dolce Gusto compatible coffee pod of 2019! This pod is special. And for what reasons? First, it is a stronger pod in terms of its intensity, but as any good coffee pod, the flavour of the noble Arabica bean is not squelched by its power. It balances bolder tastes resulting from a robust espresso, with gentle and pleasant notes of comforting toasted bread and cocoa. What separates a good pod from a truly great pod is, it can be enjoyed solo or prepared as a coffee drink. This pod, with its gourmand-pleasing flavours and powerful intensity, is peerless in a caramel latte, macchiato, cappuccino, Americano, flat white, lungo or even a doppio. In short. It rocks!
This brief list serves as a nice overview of some great pods and capsules on the market today. Each and every one of these capsules or pods possesses the virtues a pod should have, a great flavour that does not taste artificial or distract from the quality of the beans, carries all the health benefits of the original beans and gives you the same energy and boost as a traditional cup of coffee.
