1 Brian  · Their coffee pods don't work. Only water comes out if your using them with a Nespresso machine.
1 David  · just drink tap water – Bought from aldi, they have no flavour, I might as well just drink tap water,
1 Pat  · Not work with Nespresso Manchine – Tried this on Nespresso machine. Not working at all. Other brands work just fine. Avoid just waste of money.
3 ROB W.  · Not strong enough – Bought a L'OR coffee machine, and bought both L'OR and Vittoria assorted coffee pods. L'OR definitely superior. Vittoria made weak coffee.
1 Dan G.  · More watery than water – Seriously, pure spring water has more flavour than these pods. Spend a bit extra and get the Starbucks pods.
1 William  · Muddy Water – Worst Coffee pods I’ve ever had. Wouldn’t drink this if I was desperate.

The taste of the Vittoria pods in an Aldi nachine is quite good. My Mother bought Vittoria coffee for about 65 years. The pods only fall through if… Read more

you dont have the top lever back as far as it can go. My complaint is that many of the pods are faulty and pulling them out straight after they seem to have a mini explosion, is tricky. But I have rigged up an air bag for when that happens. Please Vittoria Coffee, fix your pods!! I had one of your machines and went to the Aldi machine because of the large nubmer of faulty pods. Now the same problem at Aldi. You cannot survive as a company if you dont attend to these issues.

 Follow-up  · Dont worry about my favourite blend. Have you fixed the regular faulty pods ?? 16 Re Airbag, elucidate.

 Follow-up  · The Air bag, is a 1/4 filled bag of Powdered milk.

The pods do work in my machine,but I agree that there is a slight problem with the fit.I also agree that the strength indicated is not correct.I disagree that the flavour is poor,the taste is quite acceptable. I always purchase the 15 strength capules which are 100% Arabica.I have tried many brands and this coffee is the most consistent quality.I always buy when it is on special . Show details

Terrible coffee – I thought I would try these to see if they fitted any better into my Aldi coffee machine (their own pods taste good, but fall through the machine nowadays; as someone pointed out previously, the pods are for some reason a completely different casing.) However, they still fall through - I have to hold them against the piercer like the Aldi ones -… Read more

and taste extremely thin into the bargain! I’ll stick with Aldi’s own until I can find a decent coffee machine.

So it's true, I'm not the only one – I've bought many pods from different manufacturers Moccona, L'Or, Starbucks (yes you read that right) and even Coles/Woolworths own brand and they can been way better than this utterly tasteless brand. Completely flavourless. Completely! Intensity 14 is utterly wrong. The worst thing is I have another packet to follow. Batch #0 0813. Update… Read more

September 25, 2023. I've just tried the 2nd packet and they are every bit as bad as the first (even though totally different) and are utterly tasteless. When I complained to Vittoria directly they asked me for a batch number so they must be aware that everyone is complaining. Bad business practice.

Doesn't work and when it does coffee is extremely weak – Vitorrio coffee pods do not fit our Nespresso machine. Most of the time they don't work at all, and when I have continued for a few one will eventually work but the result is the weakest coffee .. not even a coffee more like dirty dishwater. Not sure how these made it market.  Show details

New product needs perfecting more – My Nespresso machine doesn’t puncture the pod properly, it just mangled it up. I did notice that the aluminium on these pods are quite hard which could be the issue as my other branded coffee pods work fine. I also think the strength amounts are incorrect too, I have a 13 intensity and it does taste strong at all Show details

Espressotoria and Nespresso are different machines – These pods function as intended in the machine they were designed for, which is a Espressotoria Capino machine and not a Nespresso machine, as is clearly stated on the front of the box. I accidentally purchased these from Woolworths online and quickly realised I had made a mistake and they were for a different machine. I can understand making… Read more

this mistake online but I cannot understand making this mistake in a physical store. The boxes for the Espressotoria and Nespresso pods differ significantly in shape and size.

Large bulky box = Nespresso Large slim box = Espressotoria

I use these pods in my Nespresso machine now and can safely say they're my preferred store bought coffee pods. Just read the label before you buy and make sure they're for the right machine before you go back to the store demanding a refund.

I've attached a photo of the different boxes and different machines incase anyone wants to actually try these pods in their Nespresso machines.

They're fine – We go through half a dozen a day. Prefer the Oro ones. Full flavour, just like a bought one. Always wait for them to be in sale, that's at least once a month. Show details

So weak I had to add instant coffee to drink it – I like strong coffee and got very excited to see Viittorio's intensity 13,14 and 15 nespresso pods. Once home I went straight to the 15. Such a disappointment. It was watery and tasteless. I tried a 2nd pod to be sure I hadn't just got a bad pod ... but it was just as bad. Lucky I have the docket still and they are all going back. How on earth they can be rated at the higher intension I can't imagine. Show details

Vittoria coffee pods – As these were about 20% cheaper than Nespresso pods I bought a couple of packets to try. they worked perfectly well in my DeLonghi machine. I am by no means a coffee connoisseur but the coffee was OK to my taste. Show details

Crushy, Crushy coffee capsules! – I have to agree with many of the reviews regarding the 'jamming' of Vittoria coffee capsules! I have had no problem with them till Nov 2024, now every time I use them in my Delongi machine, they crush and have to be 'picked' out of the unit. I purchased the capsules from Costco. Show details

Please Be Warned and Do Not Even Think of Buying the 'Vittoria' Nespresso Capsule – Do not buy these 'Vittoria' capsules; I don't know what machine it is supposed to fit but it's not a Nespresso compatible type. I was pulled in by the name 'Vittoria' and on half price. A have a two year old 'Phillips' / L'OR Barista machine and the L'OR capsules are alright but I was tired of chasing down long expiry on these capsules; finding… Read more

L'OR capsules with over six months expiry was a real task when all the other brands had twelve months plus expiry on them so I thought the 'Vittoria' Nespresso compatible capsule with long expiry and on special was worth a try. I did try a box of ten to start with; the 'Vittoria' capsule was a little milder so I reduced the milk a bit and the taste was okay. Then the fun started; purchased four boxes of twenty on half price with long expiry and immediately the taste went out the window, weak and watery, what's going here, now I am using more capsules to get any taste at all. I was bumping it up to four capsules to 180ml of milk but it was inconsistent; I was getting rocket fuel for one hit and the next hit was a milky slop. Then the penny dropped; my machine wasn't piercing the 'Vittoria' capsule every time and the water was just by passing the capsule. Initially I blamed the 'Phillips' machine; went through the process of calling 'Phillips' up and they put me through the process of aligning the head online. That didn't work so I purchased a 'Delonghi' Essenza Mini and the same thing happened with these rubbish 'Vittoria' capsules in my new machine even. I retrieved the 'Phillips' machine from the junk collection and now it is sitting proudly beside the 'Delonghi' machine and I am still chasing up long expiry L'OR capsules and using 'Starbucks' capsules in the 'Delonghi'. I haven't found a favourite 'Starbucks' capsules yet; these capsules are made by 'Nestle' in Switzerland for 'Starbucks', presumably in the same factory as the 'Nespresso'.

Way too weak - why????? – The manufacturers should listen to its market! These pods are the worst! No flavour. You need a minimum 2 pods per cup. I wish I never bought the coffee machine. I’m going to use pods I got on a special deal and give the machine away. Show details

So disappointed – I love trying different pods out for a bit of variety on my Nespresso machine but these are definitely like water. I ended up having to use two pods and I still can’t taste the coffee, I could tell it was weak as soon as it was extracted as the colour was really light. I highly rate Starbucks and Urban Brew they are my fav go to’s. I even think the Moccona’s are not bad. But these unfortunately are a thumbs down for me sorry! Show details

I thought I was the only one? – I bought the Vittoria Oro on Monday and thought this can't be right. What has happened to this once great brand. Watery and flavorless, terrible! I jumped to this page to see other reviews and i am now i feel vindicated in my opinion. Show details

Watery – These Vittoria espresso pods are so watery and flavourless. Lucky I bought them on special because they are a complete waste of money. I using 2 pods in 1 coffee to try and get some flavour. The coffee extracts from my Nespresso machine way too quickly so I guess there beans are too coarse for that to happen. Won’t buy these ever again. I have been using Urban Brew coffee pods (Australian company)and they are great. Show details

I'm amazed at how bad Vittoria pods are. Bravo! – I've never written an online review before but the Vittoria pods warrant my first attempt! I'm almost impressed at how bad these pods are. I usually use Starbucks Italian roast pods which are really great. Thought I'd give Vittoria Italian ago because, how different could it be? Coles had a sale of for 2 x 20 packs so went for that. Weak, watery… Read more

coffee is what these pods will give you. To punish myself for buying so many I attempted to force myself to use them all. Had to stop after a few days because they really are that bad. It's like drinking warm milk and I always put 2 pods into 1 coffee. Anyway, stupid me thought the problem was just because the Italian roast was weak so went a got a 10 pack of the Vittoria espresso blend which is intensity 14/15 and medium-dark roast profile. Literally just as bad as the Italian. I now have about 40 Vittoria pods sitting in my kitchen likely going into the bin. Sitting here laughing at myself and in amazement at how bad these pods really are :D. Half the price of the starbucks pods though if that's your thing.

Disappointed – The pods don't work properly in my dellongi machine. They are very hit and miss if they work or not. Never had a problem with nesspresso or Starbucks pods. Nothing wrong with my machine. They say compatible but they are not. When they do work coffee is weak. Contacted customer service they give you a lesson how to clean your machine. Show details

Just not strong enough or flavourable – We use pods a lot for a great coffee. I buy different brands also , but the Vittoria 14's are literally the worst pod I've ever encountered. Their strength is WAY OFF if they think this is a 14. They're always on sale, I wonder why. I'll never buy them again unless their quality changes. L' Or pods in the supermarket are a very good standard for a nice robust flavour and Urban Brew online are next level. Show details

Coffee? I don't think so – Recently purchased several packets of Vittoria coffee capsules - in all varieties: Verdict? As weak as dish water. Tasteless & insipid in Ristretto, Expresso & Lungo - lacking in flavour, texture & creama. Buy again? Nope - Strength 10. Show details

Hmmmmmm………….terrible coffee – A weak, watery, mess with a thin creama that disappears almost immediately. Very bland and would suit somebody that likes to drink warm milk. Even without milk, it has no flavour. I’ll never buy this again and I’ll think twice about buying any of the Vittoria pods as I don’t want to waste any more money on this weak, watery coffee. I don’t even think these pods have real coffee inside. Show details

Not compatible – Bought a few different packs of Vittoria capsules from Woolies. Only the Oro seems to work with my Nespresso Creatista Pro. Almost no water comes through the others. Very very disappointing Show details

Vittoria Coffee Pods for Nespresso machine are the wrong size and not suitable – I have purchased 4 boxes of these pods and we have been having very weak coffee from all of them and it appears to me they are actually the wrong size. The Nespresso machine has trouble piercing the foil adequately mainly because the pod is slightly too small. The inadequate piercing results in a very weak coffee. Something is inherently wrong with these pods.  Show details

WARNING: Pods ruin your nespesso machine – I agree with other comments that the pods do not work effectively with Nespresso machines. The pods break in the machine and after several uses, I found that machine now leaks water. It now leaks water with Nespresso pods as well now. Now I have 4 boxes of Vittoria pods that I can't use and a broken machine that I need to spend $$ to replace. Show details

Dirty water has more taste than this – I love coffee, and quite frankly i'm attached to a particular brand. However, went to the supermarket and saw this ones and say why not? try them, price point was ok, and it is always good to compare. But boy, I went home, put the capsule, and there you go. The first sip was the most tasteless that i have from even crapy brands. Then I put the cup… Read more

against the light, and you can see why, it was dirty water colour in a cup. Enough to say that i felt supper not only disappointed but robbed at the same time. Do your self a favour, stay away from this brand. Enough to say that will never buy them ever again.

Weak! – Sorry to say, but very disappointed with this product – it’s supposed to be intensity level of 15, which is why I bought it as I like strong coffee but for me to get the strength and flavour out of this coffee (INCU PERU - RISERVA BLEND) like I do out of my Nespresso capsules, which are between 10 – 13 intensity level, I would need to use 4 or more capsules. I usually use 2 Nespresso Ispirazione Napoli capsules and get a great cup of coffee.

False advertising.

I contacted then on the same day that received the carton and explained that they wouldn't work in my Breville Nepresso machine and after a number of emails back and forth… Read more

including photos and model number of my machine they agreed that they were the wrong ones and sent me an addessed label to return them unopened and they would credit my $107.10 as long as they hadnt been opened. After a month I am still waiting for my credit card to be credited and I have not received an email saying that they'd been received etc. I have emailed them today and will await their response and more importantly the credit that is owed to me for over 1 month.

Weakest Pod Coffee I've ever had – I bought a 40(!) pack of their intensity 14 coffee. It was so weak it tasted like there was no actual coffee in it. I actually contacted Vittoria about thinking that it may have had the wrong pods in it. There response was there was no mistake and then telling me what size cup I should use and thanking me for being a customer. Well I'm not a customer anymore! Way to go Vittoria your response was more underwhelming as the coffee.  Show details
