I recently received a Nespresso machine as a wedding gift and wanted to be mindful about waste and sustainability. I tried nearly every other pod brand out there (Nespresso Brand, Williams Sonoma, Trader Joe’s) and Woken’s capsules are by far the winner in taste and beautiful foamy crema. And the best part about them is I can empty them right into my compost! Honestly the best find ever.

I really want to like these pods! But when I compare them to nespresso pods, they cannot compete. They have about 1/4 amount of the espresso per pod, my machine cant get as much out as when I use a nespresso pod. A few of the capsules also malfunctioned in the machine. Woken is just not there yet in terms of comparable to normal pods, I wont be buying again. Let me know when they improve, I will try again!

Like all flavors not as bitter as Nespresso.

Woken Mix

II enjoy the flavors in the morning and the fact that the pods are compostable, makes it feel good while drinking it. The coffee seems to be less acidic that the regular Nespresso pods, which I really like!
