“Your web page and packaging/marketing/info on coffee etc are lovely BUT this is the second time I've tried your Decafe pods and it's the same slightly bitter taste. The first time I gave similar feedback and was told you would be introducing an alternative smoother decaf but having now tried it again it's still not the coffee I like drinking. I get it at my local coffee shops so it is out there - so I would suggest trying a different one as I would buy a smooth one if it was available.”

“Started off well now chaos. Failed to process card change so told to open new account? Then had 3 deliveries in 2 weeks from old and new account none with recycling bags as requested. Phone calls and e mails not replied to at all.”

“Hello I recently purchased a batch of different pods to try them all out. I have just been to Greece on holiday where they had a Krups Nespresso coffee machine in my hotel room (the machine is exactly the same as my own at home). The hotel provided a few pods which worked just fine, however your pods did not. I lost nearly all of them due to the fact they kept getting bent or miss-shapen, & wouldn't work. Since i've been home & am now using my own krup nespresso machine, i am still finding that many of the pods do not work. I do try & be very careful/gentle when i insert them into the machine - sometimes they work ok but often they don't. I've probably lost a good 50% of the pods where i've had to throw them away. Anyway, that is my experience. Thanks Andrew”

Hi Andrew, many thanks for taking the time to leave us a review, but sorry to hear you experienced some issues with our capsules. This doesn't sound right and we'd like to investigate further! Could you kindly send us an email (help@crukafe.com) we'd like to make this right for you. Thanks!

“I am having a problem with your capsules. The machine is working fine with other capsules but as soon as I add yours it goes to a dribble and I have to throw the capsule and start again. I will now have to return 95% of the ones I bought”

“Coffee OK compared to nespresso original. Bit weak. Maybe cos they don't do a lungo so need extra coffee. Packaging is over the top comparatively with big cardboard box containing bags of coffee you can't recycle. Foil top has to be removed from plastic pod which is almost impossible without slicing your fingers off so not easy to recycle which is the whole USP. Disappointing really”

“Despite some time having passed since the company started, the same problems with compatibility to the Krups Nespresso machine persists. Even on full setting, coffee fills less than half a cup. After only about six completions, the reservoir is almost full of coffee, leading one to believe the caps are not fully draining until they fall through. Sadly there is also little competition between these and the Nespresso coffees Mostly not pleasant - with an after-taste. Will not be trying again, sadly.”
