Great Value French Roast Coffee Pods vs Italian Coffee Passione Espresso Pods

Buy the Great Value pods if you want a big, bold dark roast for a drip or Keurig-style brewer and value per cup matters most. Buy the Italian Coffee Passione pods only if you own a Nespresso Original machine and want a true espresso shot. Great Value wins on versatility and sheer volume of owner feedback; Italian Coffee wins on espresso intensity and crema. Build is plastic pod versus aluminum-style capsule, and the Italian Coffee pods are useless in anything but a Nespresso Original.

• Choose the Great Value French Roast if you brew drip or pod-style coffee, want a smoky dark roast, and need pods that work in most major brewers.
• Choose the Italian Coffee Passione if you have a Nespresso Original machine and want an intense, creamy espresso shot.
