Nespresso Special Reserve: Hawaii Kona VERTUO Limited Edition Sleeve of 10 Pods

Although it is pretty expensive on Amazon, I think it’s worth it as a treat. I just hate that it is only limited and won’t be around all the time. I love this one!

It is a great product but the packaging wasn't the best and a couple of pods were damaged because of that.

I like this espresso but I’m not a fan of the machine. It was smooth but better with a creamer instead of on its own

Taste is mellow but fragrant

TASTE REVIEW (5 stars): Wonderful pod! Please remember this year's Vertuo Kona is a double espresso (2.7 oz), so don't expect 7+ ounces of regular coffee. As espresso, it's great, and I love it as a cappuccino with less milk than usual for a double espresso (4 oz milk).COST OF THIS OFFERING (3 stars): Kona is expensive no matter where you get it; it's great coffee, from Hawaii only, and hand picked as the beans ripen, which means each tree has to be hand-picked over and over again all year--they can't just scrape off all the beans at once, which would be less expensive. This offering is about a third more than if you buy directly from Nespresso, where it is in stock as of late March 2021. OTOH, Nespresso delivery will never compete with Prime. It will take up to a week to get it from Nespresso--IF the shipment doesn't get lost in transit, which happened to me on my second order from Nespresso You also need to buy at least $35 worth of pods from Nespresso to get free (slow) delivery.

Beware, these are expensive since they're special edition and no longer available in the main website. My boxes arrived broken due to poor packaging and a bunch of pods were damaged and cannot be used in the machine.

Too small for good cup of coffee. Too expensive for expresso size

Terrible. Can't use pods. So smashed and coffeemaker can't read pods. Box also open. No refund option for bad products.
