1 Frank  · A crappy company operating out of South Africa – A bully that is completely devoid of any values or looks
2 Mish  · Not recommended – Taste is not to my liking. One of the least impressive brands I've tried. I won't be buying this product again.
5 Because lldogger729  · Wife's choice – I bought it for my wife a year ago and she loves it. She is a regular buyer now. It is all she buys.
5 Rohan S  · Great Coffee – Swapped from Nespresso coffee and happy with the taste of the coffee and the service. And it's half the price.

Feel Sad for CCD – Sadly CCD I believe has gone out of business, I can't get through to them on any of their Telephone numbers. I liked their coffee and have been getting the Indian coffee for years. Show details

Total scam – Ordered 4 boxes of coffee, they delivered 1 and won’t respond to phone or email. Such a shame as we’re a repeat customer who’s had years of positive service until now. Show details

Insipid – I agree with the last review . Don't waste your money and yes I'm a real customer . I wonder how impartial web site reviews are sometimes but I'm taking the time to put this up to help coffee drinkers like me . I'm no expert and have been buying Nespresso but wondered whether they were worth the money as I don't like to think I'm paying for… Read more

they're fancy stores . So thought buying on line with no overheads would be better but read some of the negative reviews and decided just to buy two trial packs . They cost me about $1.10 each capsule as postage was about $6.00 . Their 7-9 ratings are very weak tasting . I've even halved the amount of water to try and get more flavor so don't understand the people who have given good reviews . I'm no expert but know a nice coffee when I taste it .

I normally buy Nespresso Arpreggio which is rated a 9 but will probably drop back next time as finding it now a little stong .

So was hopeful, but now disappointed . Glad I didn't buy more . So hope this helps someone making a decision

Nice brew – I bought a DeLonghi Lattissima Capsule Machine at Christmas as a present from my wife to me. Having got my hands on it, the mission began with three priorities 1/ Get some good tasting coffee pods. 2/ At a good price. 3/ Manufactured to a standard that wouldn't compromise my machine. As your reading this you have gone down the same… Read more

route as I did .... the internet.

I read good and bad about several different suppliers and I must agree with some of the comments here, that it seems the bad ones could be working for the opposition. and who knows the good ones could be the CCD staff .

However let me nail my colours to the mast and say I am a Plumber who lives in Moggill QLD who packed up smoking 6 months ago and has, and always has had a love of good strong coffee. Only now I can really taste it .

I would love to say that I tried umpteen different brands of coffee pods, but that wouldn't be true. I tried the nespresso brand and a few supermarket ones and wasn't really impressed.

The first online one I tried was CCD.

Got the trial packs and never looked back.

My wife tried the infused flavours and liked most of them so she takes a variety on the reorder.

I myself prefer the Sumatran or Indian.

The price is great especially if you bulk order as I do (that in itself speaks reams about the product). I must also throw in the mix that with my machine the capsule has never failed to operate correctly in the machine...ever !!!

My Order always arrives within 3-4 days no problem.

So there you have it all in all I'm a happy chappie and lets face it guys all you have to do is trial it. and make your own decision ....... you have nothing to lose.

I honestly don't think you will be disappointed, or bother looking anywhere else .... why would you.

Great coffee & customer service – I had very mixed feelings about purchasing these pods due to all the negative reviews but since they were a good price, I thought there would be no harm in trying them out. **FYI, I received my Nespresso Pixie in December 2013 so that's the machine I've been using these pods on** I bought a couple of trial packs and WOW was I pleasantly… Read more

surprised! They came within 48 hours - delivery was very fast!

I'm not an espresso drinker, (I prefer milk in my coffee - no sugar though) so my comments are based on drinking it this way.

There is so much flavour and intensity in these pods. The Nespresso capsules that came with my Pixie were so weak and watery in comparison. Even after filling Lungo sized cups of the Coffee Capsule Delights, the colour of the coffee was rich, dark and strong. Sometimes the flavour was too strong, so I had to revert to Espresso size. Before pouring in the milk, I also noticed they had a decent crema. I made coffee for some friends who came over last night and they all complimented me on how good the coffee was. I can't decide on my favourite flavour yet.

I've also enjoyed the fusion flavours with vanilla bean ice cream as an affogato for dessert. They're just divine.

I don't know how these pods have ruined other peoples' machines. It works just fine in my Pixie. I don't just carelessly throw them in there though. I place them inside carefully and I don't jam it closed. Sometimes the pods can sit in at the wrong angle which means you need to re-adjust.

I also emailed customer service regarding the nutritional content and ingredients and they replied straight away with all the info I needed. I'm pretty stoked that I've found great coffee at a great price! Will be buying loads more soon. Fast delivery, amazing strong coffee with a variety of flavours, good customer service I'm now addicted to this coffee

The Best! – My wife & I love their coffee, price and quick delivery. Never had an issue with the pods in any of several Nespresso machines we have used. Best pod coffee, and we have tried most of them on the market. Show details

Very good coffee – Their coffee pods are better in my opinion than the overpriced official Nespresso line of coffee pods, The Sumatran coffee pods is probably the best variety they have.

Love this coffee – Having read some bad reviews & I felt I needed to reply with a good review. I love this coffee. Most people relate bitter coffee to strength. This is smooth full flavoured coffee with no bitter after taste. I have a Delonghi Inissia machine and love the Indian and Sumatran coffee at home. In fact I now have my work on this coffee and we order hundreds of capsules each time. I highly recommend the coffee and smooth flavour.

Not creamy at all waste of money – Only very little water comes out of machine when unused this coffee capsule with my Nespresso machine. Taste is also not very nice and not as creamy! Lor capsules are way better and creamer. Also much cheaper!! Will never buy this coffee again Show details

Capsules with plastic base don't suit my Nespresso machine – I have purchased (yes I realise at a discounted price) 4 boxes of Grinders coffee thru Catch.com. However, even tho they say they are.... they are not compatible with my Nespresso machine. The water drips thru the tray at the bottom with only a small amount coming thru the pod... I realise now why they were being sold thru Catch.com grrrrr :(

A little disappointed in the size of machine – First of all Podistas service was amazing. The first machine I received had a problem with the middle light never fully going off. They were super and replaced the machine. I received the 2nd machine and it does exactly the same thing although I had been assured that they had never encountered this problem before. I just decided to keep the 2nd… Read more

machine and unplug it. I was using the Caffitaly machine which was great except they only do coffee(no hot chocolate) and their pods are not compatible with any other machine. The tank on the Caffitaly is larger too with the Podista I feel like I’m filling it up all the time. The Podista is a nice compact machine and the coffee tastes great. Not sure I would buy this again

Coffee perfection – Have been buying the Etimo capsules (through a Breville Creatista machine) for over four years. Have tried most of the capsules on the market in pursuance of the best and always end up back at Coffee Capsules. My family and friends always compliment the coffee, so it is favoured by many different palates.

Never again – What a waste of money and the company won't even accept a refund, the coffee is gritty, tastes like dirt and is very bitter. I guess it just shows you get what you pay for . Nespresso pods are expensive but you can't beat them , and the flavours they have are mind blowing.

nespresso is better – The flavoured coffees were definitely not to my liking. The single origin and flavoured blends were decent (though at times they could be very dilute) but I personally still prefer the original nespresso capsules. Doubt that I will buy this again.

terrible and did not work with any of my three nespresso machines – terrible and did not work with any of my three nespresso machines. Customer care did not respond to any attempts to fix this. I have now got endless pods but can't use them. My only thoughts are this website is a sham and only a low quality product is shipped.

The most terrible coffee capsule – If you have bought a nespresso machine never try the podista capsule. The capsule is made of plastic and when the hot water gets in the capsule ruin the taste of your coffee with plastic odor. Also, the quality of the coffee itself is very low and coffee just have bitterness and no aroma.

Don't waste your money – Delighted, I am not! Out of my first order, I've sampled Etimo, Kenyan, Indian, Sumatran and found all of them to be equally weak and insipid. Frankly I've have better instant. Instead of choking through the remaining capsules, these are going in the bin. Life is too short to waste on bad coffee. Aside, the only positive point is that the capsules worked reasonably well with Inissia machines.

Good Coffee & no probs with machine – Machine is a Breville something or other. Am just about to put my 3rd order of 150 capsules in, which means we have put almost 300 of these thru. Delivery is prompt (to an island offshore from Auckland - NZ). No silly clubs to join and the flavour is great. What more do you want? Ooops. Just did my order. It's 300 at a time, so have put 600 thru the machine.

Environmentally destructive, even if the flavour is good – Taste is fine, but really guys, how can you possibly justify doing this to our already SERIOUSLY over-burdened envrironmen??. Capsules should be BANNED, they are the equivalent of plastic bags, and SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN INVENTED. The coffee's good but let's find a better different way to drink it, NOT pods/capsules.

Great coffee great price – Hi. I myself have been a barista for the last 20 years. It is the best tasting coffee capsule in the Australian market place, with a great price tag. And most of all it is proudly Australian made. Chris

First order and I'm happy – We have a Delongi coffe capsule machine and I was stressed the capsules wouldn't fit etc, however order arrived promptly and I'm really happy with the Kenyan flavour, no issues with capsules/machine and I like that the capsules are not individually wrapped like previous brands. Have just placed a second order to try other flavours. Will up date my review once I've tried more.

Good coffee – The coffee is great and there's a huge choice. Postage is quick. I like the packaging. The only thing is that the capsules don't work as smooth as the Nespresso capsules. Maybe it's my machine. I have the Delonghi Lattissima and the CCD caps make the machine work hard. I've switched back to the Nespresso caps for fear of busting my machine.

Excellent coffee, better than Nespresso's own brand and MUCH better value! – I've just received my first order from Coffee Capsule Delights [CCD] after receiving a Nespresso machine and several of CCD's trial packs as a present. I must say that... 1) CCD's Indian coffee capsules are excellent, MUCH better than the initial NESPRESSO-brand capsules supplied with the machine 2) I do much of my shopping online, and… Read more

CCD's online store features one of the MOST elegant and simple ordering processes EVER! Excellent coffee, much less expensive than Nespresso's own coffee pods

My new ritual!!! – I am so pleased I stumbled across your website after a google search last month. I ordered 6 trial packs to see what flavors I may like and this is the BEST capsule coffee I have ever tried!!! Tastes amazing & you will def be part of my everyday ritual! Looking forward to making my way through the flavors this month and picking out my favs. Thank you for making such incredible coffee!

Great Coffee, Great Price – Found them a year ago after reading Choice magazine's review. Ordered a few different flavours and settled on the "Indian" as I liked it the best. Initially I did find that a few pods wouldn't turn out 100% right, the machine seemed to have problems piercing them, but haven't had that problem in a long time. I suspect that they have tweaked the… Read more

design slightly. Have since ordered over 300 pods in bulk lots of 100 and i'm loving it.

Only gripe is that the bulk packs come with the pods lose in a big box, I've lost a few pods because they arrived damaged. Flavour, price some of the bulk packs arrive with broken pods

Pleasantly surprised! – I purchased about 20 packets of these pods and then read all the negative reviews and panicked!! I straight away rang the number on their website and the lady I spoke to said they have a complete money back guarantee, so if I am unhappy with them I can return for a complete refund. We have loved our capsules!! The handle at the top of he machine… Read more

is definitely tighter to pull down but it makes a beautiful coffee. Yes it takes a bit longer for the water to go through the pod but only about 10 seconds longer. Butterscotch is my favourite!!! Also I have a Nespresso machine.

Ignore the 'Choice' reviews. These capsules are utter, irredeemable rubbish – I found the Coffee Capsule Delights (CCD) Indian to be flavourless, insipid and stale tasting. For an 'intensity 10' capsule, they were completely underwhelming, to say the least. There is simply a stale aroma, the flavour has no body or richness, a slight bitterness, and almost zero aftertaste. Hardly recognisable as coffee, these capsules are… Read more

characterless, pale, and lacking energy (a bit like the brand itself). Don't believe the hype. These are utter, irredeemable rubbish.

So how did I find out about this insult to good taste? Well, I was impressed to find out that Coffee Capsule Delights (CCD) capsules got a positive mention on choice.com.au. I wasn't overly impressed with the Nespresso capsules that came with my machine, and the Choice 'review' for CCD Indian capsules seemed quite positive. Sounds good right?

It turns out I was only seeing what I wanted to see. If you read the 'review's' wording carefully, it basically states that CCD Indian was the 'top choice', however it's among a bunch of very average capsules. The reviewer(s) also noted the "very limited flavour”. The other tasting notes are hardly relevant considering the flavour is non-existent.

Avoid. The delivery was fast.

Best capsules I've found – Received a De Longhi capsule machine for Christmas 2013, together with a range of about 15 different brands/flavours of capsules. I like the CCD ones best. Stronger aroma and flavour. The chocolate and caramel ones were great, as were the Guatamalan and Sumatran flavours. Didn't try one from CCD that I didn't like. About to place an order for more now ! Good strong aroma and flavour, worked well in my machine

Good stuff – I have had my nespresso capsule machine for 18 months, the first 9 months of that I was very disappointed in the nespresso branded pods. I a state of disappointment i sought out any alternative. Coffee Capsule Delights pods actually make it worth having a nespresso machine, you can actually taste the flavors in the coffee. Delivery times and customer service have been great thus far. Flavour, value

Delights? Not so – I thought saving a few dollars and trying a different brand than Nespresso would be fine, after reading an article about Nespresso stopping legal action against companies making pods that fit their machine. So I found the Coffee Capsule Delights, all I can really say is never again will I buy something that is not from Nespresso. Those that are… Read more

saying good things about this Coffee are probably employed by the company, seriously this Coffee should stay in the bin. Only positive thing is it's cheaper, but like all things these days, you get what you pay for.

I would not be surprised if they are packing International Roast into these pods, cheap and nasty instant coffee....

Not nespresso machine compatible! – Luckily I only purchased the trial pack. The coffee maybe ok but it does not work in the nespresso machines. The shell is too hard to pierce therefore the coffee is weak. I didn't want to try any more pods as I was concerned it may break the machine. Try the trial pk but don't be surprised if it's not compatible. The price was better Didnt work in my machine
