[IMPORTANT] Before buying this product, ensure that you have a compatible machine, which is the Nescafe Dolce Gusto. Not to be confused with the Nespresso or the Tassimo.
To better evaluate products, I use specific criteria that match the product's nature. Those criteria vary between the products and their usability.
To ease this review, I'll write a short and a long answer to whether this product was a good purchase.
Short Answer:
Absolutely, for 23 dirhams, you get 12 Capsules? You just can't beat that. Overall, the taste is fine; so I will purchase again.
Long Answer:
[Taste] To be clear, I drink coffee every day, so I know what a proper coffee tastes like. The taste is fair, similar (but not exact) to the Americano you get at any Starbucks, though you do get a hint of the Nescafe Instant coffee.
[Aroma] Well, you get the Starbucksish smell; though, again, it feels like a blend with the regular Nescafe Instant (not surprised). But generally, all good.
[Price] No complaint at all... Think about it, a Starbucks coffee cup for 2 dirhams? You must be kidding. I'd take that with my eyes closed.
[Quality] The coffee quality seems fine though there is a catch. Don't add too much water even though the package says it. On the Nescafe Dolce Gusto machine, adjust the cup size to around 3/4, so you don't have your coffee tasting like water.
[Origin] Made in the UK, which is excellent.
To conclude, if you're a coffee addict, you'd 'almost' get a similar experience as the coffee you'd grab at Starbucks; though, there is absolutely no way you can compare the price. The value you get from this product is just nuts. You can easily pocket 120 dirhams with this product in comparison to buying the Starbucks Americano. Overall, I recommend this product, and I will surely order it again.
