Purecup Rooibos Tea 10 Nespresso Compatible Capsules (Pack of 6, Total 60 Capsules)

The reviews here seem to be a bit of a mixed bag, and I suspect it's down to what you're using the product for? If you want a long drink I'd say a bag is both better and cheaper. If, on the other hand, you want a substitute for coffee for your espressos and espresso type drinks (cappuccinos, lattes, etc.), then these are great, love them. I'm drinking a maple-spice rooibos latte whilst wording this review and, quite frankly, A++ will be having another shortly.

Not very creamy, tastes like normal cup of tea, just smaller

Apart from the terrible value for money I have nothing really against these capsules!I know that it is somewhat of an acquired taste but I have acquired a taste for this type of "tea".The quality and flavour is okay ( as long as you remember to run the machine first to get rid of any lingering coffee)I just question the cost of these, Compared to teabags or loose tea they are very expensive and don't seem to offer any improvements in taste or strength. I am happy to use them but I can't see myself ever buying any. I know that espresso capsules are expensive but they are generally different to what you can easily do for yourself without a Nespresso or similar machine.

This makes a very decent brew but why go through all the fuss of making it with a (non-biodegradable) pod?I can understand someone who knows about coffee wanting their coffee just so but tea is a different concept altogether.

I use a nespresso machine regularly for coffee, so I was interested to see how tea would turn out. I was pleasantly surprised; good taste, no bitterness, and a good colour. I'm not sure if I'll be able to commit to using capsules regularly for rooibos; tea bags do represent far better value, and the flavour isn't sufficiently better to want to make the change.

The espresso tea's are really tip notch. I've tried almost all of them so far and there's not been one I didn't like. Even when running them through twice (to get a full mug of tea) the taste is superb. This is my second favourite with the lemon and ginger being the first. Very surprised at how good these were but thoroughly recommended. Remember to set you coffee machine on to Lungo for these.

TEA====One of my favourite teas (or infusions) is Redbush  Tetley Redbush 40 Teabags 100 G (pack Of 6, Total 240 Teabags) The problem with this is I like to keep the bag in the cup for about three minutes, and five minutes for a stronger cup.This simply is a poor cup of tea in terms of size and there's no way to make it large or more flavoursome.COFFEE=======I'm not sure the process of making tea (brewing) is the same as coffee. But this just doesn't seem to work. For me it was like having half a cup of tea that was awfulAWFUL======And 60 cups. That's a box of teabags. No thanks. At least with coffee, a nespresso machine makes decent coffee. It's not designed to make awful tea.OPTIONS========I prefer teabags or loose leaf tea. After this I wouldn't try teapods again.

Whilst it seems like a nice idea to have things other than coffee that can come out of a Nespresso machine, this is only worthwhile if it doesn't require additional faff, and if the end result is something that's worth having.With the exception of the fact that the pods themselves are decent quality and don't split in use, these pretty much fail on every level. In order not to end up with a weird tea/coffee hybrid in your cup, you need to flush some plain water through the machine before changing the type of drink being dispensed. It's easy enough to forget to do this and the resulting drink is pretty foul.Even if you do remember to clean out the machine, the resulting drink is short compared to a proper mug of tea, has an incongruent creama layer and tastes on the weak side. Then there's the high cost versus ordinary Rooibos tea bags/ leaf tea and the environmental negatives of the plastic pods. These aren't good. Unless you really love having a crema layer on your tea, they offer no advantage over a humble tea bag.
