4 out of 5 stars Almost perfect!   June 13, 2008
S. Heinen (Tulsa, OK United States)
I really like this sampler collection and would have gtiven it 5 stars but for the fact that I liked the same vendor's "blend" sampler even better.

This one is almost TOO much of a good thing. I can't keep straight which ones I like and which ones I don't like (very few). It will also take me a while to go through all of them.

If you have multiple espresso drinkers in your house, this one may be for you. If you are the only one drinking it, I'd opt for the smaller blend sampler and keep things a little fresher. Just my opinion. All are of good quality. No compliants at all.

Some past there best buy date, but were still good. Will try again. and again. A great variety of Kenya, Italian, columbian, Arabica. Fun packaging, arrived in a big ziploc bag. Appreciated the UPS delivery with tracking and delivery notification.


5 out of 5 stars A Fantastic Way to Make Cappuccino   July 30, 2007
T. Robinson (Suffolk, VA)
This is such an easy, much less messy way to use your expresso/cappuccino machine! it's so easy and it comes out perfectly each time! I will just continue to get this pack, because every single one is a treat!


3 out of 5 stars Nice collection except for one lemon   July 20, 2007

It was going great (really great) until we hit the first Hausbrandt pod. Watery, light and tasteless. All the Hausbrandt pods are the same. I wish PodMerchant would take this out of the collection.

The rest of the collection is fantastic. If you are looking to sample a variety of coffee flavors before deciding to mass order the ones you like, this sampler collection is ideal. We have no favorite brands, just what suits us best for the occasion. In general, the darker wrappers seem to be the richer, heavier flavors and the lighter wrappers were lighter. That said, there are many exceptions to the rule. We liked to be surprised.

Highly recommend this collection, but only if PodMerchant will be kind enough to remove the HausBrandts. Atleast 10 pods were of this brand.



5 out of 5 stars Ex-spresso!   June 15, 2007
Boston Beantown (Boston)
Great assortment of PODs delivered in a giant, resealable bag. Highly recommended. Pods were all individually wrapped and very fresh. Great aromas upon opening some of the pod envelopes, too! The graphics on the individual pod envelopes are pretty interesting; definitely adds to the fun of trying all these new coffees. Each time I made an espresso I marked the empty POD envelopes A, B or C to remember which ones I liked best. I recently got a Francis X1 and this sampler pack has helped me enjoy my new espresso machine.
