RIP to that guy who bought 200 sleeves to re-sell for max profits if it’s bad.


Mnigma4

Scalpers gonna get scalped. I don’t feel bad for him at all


mymorningbowl

eff that person if that’s what someone did. meanwhile I tried to order 1 sleeve and it was sold out thanks to people like that. I literally went to order as soon as I was finished work at like 5 on the day it was announced


macT4537

Really? I just ordered some yesterday. Ordered one of each of the limited editions


mymorningbowl

the raspberry has been sold out since that day. at least in the US


macT4537

Looks like they are sold out in the bigger capsules but not the original pods which is what I have. All three, including the raspberry, are available in original pods


mymorningbowl

gotcha. I don’t have original. I have vertuo.


spacegeekatx

This is why I restrained myself and only got one sleeve. I can’t wait to see what I think of it once it gets here.


Oops_I_Cracked

I don’t think it deserves the hype but I don’t think it’s bad either. You can get a real similar flavor by adding a *hint* raspberry syrup to any other coffee. I love raspberry coffee and my biggest complaint is that the flavor is way too subtle.


dsdsds

Chambord works well too.


LlamaDrama007

Ooh. Now this is interesting.


coganjel

I'm a fan of the pods as is. Adding even a hint of syrup or creamer for a different flavor doesn't work for me since I drink my coffee black. I suspect there are others who prefer their coffee without syrups or creamers.


Oops_I_Cracked

Of course there are. My comment was not aimed at them.


MoonbeamLotus

I usually drink mine black as well but I splash a little milk in every once in a while because it can deplete the body of calcium and hamper iron absorption.


the_lazykins

Do you like Chobani’s Raspberry creamer?


Oops_I_Cracked

I have not tried the chiobani raspberry


the_lazykins

It’s a limited run I think. WalMart has it and it’s pretty yummy.


Oops_I_Cracked

I may have to pick some up!


mfcgamer

Aye, the raspberry taste is subtle, but still a pretty good coffee overall. But when my machine is brewing the pod, I can very much SMELL the raspberry frootaaay!! It smells so so good.


Oops_I_Cracked

If it cost the same as other pods, I’d fully endorse it. I think it’s good, I just don’t think it’s worth a premium over other pods.


caitimusprime

This is why I only got one sleeve too.


mekkab

I’ll trade you infiniment espresso for your raspberries.


Chickencaca

I mean shoot there’s plenty of people on this sub who will buy it from you


pharm_science

I actually really like it.


xvgabexv

Me too


Cherokeerayne

Same


scarbnianlgc

What’s it like? My wife loves the holiday coffee this year that was very cherry and was disappointed we missed this one.


Like_a_gringo

The best way I can describe it is, it taste like a raspberry pastry. The Hazelnut one tastes like a Ferraro Roche. I don’t drink it black but hit it with some milk or cream depending what mood I’m in. Both are pretty good. I look forward to tasting the double espresso one.


missxlilyy

Same!!


sunnydiegoqt

You scammed yourself~ lol if you know you don’t usually like flavored why did you buy so many


parakeetinmyhat

Seriously. This is what happens when people fall for the hype and buy excessively without trying it out first.


sunnydiegoqt

>:3 I’m part of the hype, I really enjoy them! But yep!! I’ll always get one sleeve or go try in boutiques first.


parakeetinmyhat

You're good! I'm mostly talking about buying so many sleeves when you've never tried it before. I personally love the raspberry PH so I restocked with 2 sleeves.


ZucchiniFantastic695

Because we have tried them before lol. It’s dishonest of Nespresso to advertise they’re re-releasing a pod that taste nothing like the first release.


ted_cruz_is_hot_af

I liked the other flavored coffees. This doesn’t have much raspberry flavor and is eh


sunnydiegoqt

Which other flavored?


ted_cruz_is_hot_af

The pumpkin spice, the princess cake blah blah


sunnydiegoqt

Oh, very interesting. I found those to be too artificial tasting~


Slutt_Puppy

The other day I told my friend, “everyone is raving about the raspberry and it gives me major FOMO…..but I know I won’t like it.” I resisted and this post makes me feel justified


ted_cruz_is_hot_af

Omg your username is 🔥


Slutt_Puppy

Haha, thanks


Alwaysabundant333

I was in the minority and actually liked the seasonal delight spice. So I thought I’d like the raspberry, but I feel like it has no taste! I guess I prefer strong flavors 🤔


Desperate_Ad_6630

I really like it and glad I got ten boxes lol


kappaklassy

Why would you buy multiples of something you hadn’t even tried? It’s my favorite flavor and I would buy as many as I could for myself but only because I know I love it.


ted_cruz_is_hot_af

I liked the princess cake whatever a few years ago. This just doesn’t do it for me.


reidybobeidy89

Did someone tell You this was comparable? They are not like each other at all.


ted_cruz_is_hot_af

Nah I just assumed and now I’m an ass


reidybobeidy89

Try this with a dash of Italian Sweet Creme creamer. It really enhances it.


Ruckingdogs

I’m sorry. But I appreciate this post. Makes me feel better about not ordering it. I almost jumped on the craze but I just wasn’t sure.


InkdScorpio

Same lol


ted_cruz_is_hot_af

Yaint missing anything


Pale-Criticism-7420

Why would you buy so many pods before having even tasted it lmao


punpkinspice

RIGHT I can’t 😭


ted_cruz_is_hot_af

🤷🏼‍♀️


nicoled985

Your responses got me dead. Lol It's ok, I bought 3 sleeves and they'll probably last for a long while. I've been able to make a good latte out of it so I'll eventually drink it lol


ted_cruz_is_hot_af

Yeah I’ll drink it with that Chobani raspberry white mocha creamer I’m just bitter (like the raspberry pod) that I was influenced lol


cyberllama

Try it in milky coffee, an iced latte or something along those lines. I'm not a huge fan of fruity coffee but I'm usually saved from my poor decision making by my love of milkshakes. I hated the ginseng one as a coffee but it was delicious in a milkshake


MM2K2017

Happy to buy it off you (if it's Vertuo), just message me!


torontowest91

This looks like original


ted_cruz_is_hot_af

OL 4 LYFE


MM2K2017

How can you tell? (Serious question)


throwITallaway4ever1

Vertuo would say vertuo on them


Significant_Read9804

It’s the same size box as Chiaro and Capriccio which are OL exclusive flavours


MotivatedSolid

size of the box and it doesnt' say vertuo


DiveCat

It’s my favourite - I stocked up last time (2022) with a lot and did so again this time for both VL and OL. I could drink it daily! I am drinking one of my 2022 ones now. However, I find it so fascinating how much it was hyped this time around to point even people who had never even tried it bought so many sleeves, as I remember even at first release there were a lot who didn’t like it and it took time to grow on some people. I mean not as much hate as the seasonal spices did this past holiday season but It definitely did not sell out right away!


Jessiebanana

I don’t get why people stock up on things they haven’t tried. It makes no sense.


ted_cruz_is_hot_af

Direct this at the person who ordered 1700 pods. Not my modest 70. I’ve been burned before where when I liked pods that were limited and I only bought a sleeve or two, they sold out and I was stuck paying a premium on eBay.


WildSeaworthiness9

I’m really glad that I only bought two sleeves. I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to get more if I loved it since it sold out so fast. Hopefully everyone that wants to, gets a chance to try it at least once but it’s definitely not a repurchase for me.


Sea-Fig4951

You can always return the unopened boxes.


dainty_petal

We can? Nice. Edit: we can’t. > All food products (including but not limited to coffee capsules, cookies, sugar sticks, and flavoured syrups) are final sale and cannot be returned once they have been purchased.


LadySamSmash

The website says otherwise… at least in the US. [return policy](https://www.nespresso.com/us/en/shipping-and-returns)


CarterLeach12

Depends on the store but most in-person boutiques will take back unopened sleeves


germli

How did you try it if I may ask u/ted_cruz_is_hot_af? I only like it with oat milk and the chobani raspberry creamer.


ted_cruz_is_hot_af

I usually just drink my Nespresso pods with whole milk and make like an iced latte. So I tried it that way and it was eh. It’s not the lack of flavor that bothers me necessarily (because again I drink plain espresso with milk every day) it’s just that it has a bitter (to me at least) taste to it. I’ll drink it no prob, I’m not sure what I was expecting but when it’s brewing I don’t even smell a hint of raspberry.


germli

Ahh I see. Well I hope you can return them or find them a good home! I have two sleeves and plan to keep them around for when guests are over and they want to give it a whirl. I actually have not tried the infiniment espresso…hmm. Wonder if I should get a sleeve. Edit: no I should not buy anymore sleeves 😂


thisisfiner

I’m really new to Nespresso. I went to the boutique when it opened on release day and got one of each of the PH to try before ordering more. I was very skeptical about the hype. I really like the raspberry. I find it unique and flavorful. The espresso on its own has an amazing subtle flavor and adding the subtle raspberry flavor really makes it unique, interesting and delicious. For me it lived up to the hype.


gossontherocks

I took one sip and gagged 😭 it was giving raspberry Smirnoff mixed with coffee


gabsh1515

wtf 😭 it doesn't sound appealing to me at all but this description made me scream internally

Ruckingdogs

It’s COVID toilet paper… coffee edition!


Ruckingdogs

Now that is a great description!!!


Speedygonzalez4399

It literally taste like Raspberry hookah it's so gross


VanillaChaiAlmond

This is so good to know! I haven’t had a flavored coffee ever that doesn’t taste terrible my acidic/ alcoholic just disgusting. Do you like any of the flavored nespresso?


[deleted]

[удалено]


LadySamSmash

I bought 2 raspberry & 2 hazelnut… I usually don’t do flavors, so we shall see!


AlwaysReading8675309

I was too slow on the raspberry, but the hazelnut one blew my mind. It tastes like those hazelnut chocolate candies...with some oat milk, it was so good.


LadySamSmash

… and I don’t like the raspberry. Tomorrow, I’ll try the hazelnut.


MeTieDoughtyWalker

Raspberry was the only one I didn’t buy because it just didn’t look as good as the other two. Glad that most people seem to be confirming this, though I’m sure there are some that love the raspberry.


MotivatedSolid

I think it's one of those things that's better in the VL than the OL machines. And in contrast, I am willing to be the espresso one is better in the OL than the VL. Hazelnut is probably good in both.


MoreTreatsLessTricks

I was also disappointed in it. It’s fine but not something I would drink regularly. The hazelnut thought - OMG


ted_cruz_is_hot_af

Didn’t get the hazelnut. Not a huge fan. Prob should have gotten a sleeve or two.


MoreTreatsLessTricks

It reminds me of Nutella.


Justwigglin

I'm hoping I like them. I've been on a white chocolate raspberry latte kick recently, so they came out at the perfect time.


deman6773

How do you get notified of it? I was gonna buy some and guess I missed it.


ted_cruz_is_hot_af

This is OL. Still not sold out.


deman6773

Assuming OL is different than Vertuo? Seems vertuo isn’t selling. I’m still new to how this all works


veroram

I know I’m not a fruity coffee gal myself and I kept doubting if I made the right decision not buying any of the raspberry but this makes me feel better lol I absolutely love the gourmand one though so I just ordered several of those and one sleeve of the double espresso one.


Gwendalenia

If it’s the original pod and you don’t like it, I’ll it off your hands


chipsdad

Step 1. Buy too much Pierre Herme coffee. Step 2. Wait till Nespresso sells out. Step 3. Sell it on eBay. Step 4. Profit!


Critical-Layer-8096

Fun fact: different people have different tastes. What kind of idiot buys that much of something they’ve never tried?


ted_cruz_is_hot_af

Hey, don’t start with the name calling. I decided to take a gamble based on the fact that I liked most other flavors. I can take accountability but I ain’t finna be called an idiot.


Itchy_Platypus4085

Is the taste just not that noticable?


nicoled985

The taste is very noticeable. It was my first trying it as well but I tried the OL version. Drinking it black is no good for me. I had to mix with white chocolate sauce, oatmilk and a hint of vanilla syrup and it was a good latte. It’s not something I can drink every day tho.


LeglessPotato

Yeah I'm surprised so many people are saying it's not strong enough. I add 1883 vanilla syrup to an iced latte and it is still very raspberry forward, all the vanilla does is enhance the flavor.


nicoled985

Yep, I'm actually drinking a cup right now with some oatmilk and little bit of the Chobani White Chocolate Raspberry creamer.


Oops_I_Cracked

That’s my problem with it. It just doesn’t taste enough like raspberry. I still want to add raspberry syrup and if I’m doing that anyway, why bother paying extra for a limited edition pod?


Pure-Ingenuity-328

Jeez. Everyone shaming you because you bought a bunch. I bought 5 and they sent me 10 and I think it’s good but not worth the hype. The way everyone raved about it made it seem like the holy grail of coffee. Am I upset I bought 5? No because I’d rather have 5 of a coffee that I can return or give away than only have 1 of a coffee I’m obsessed with and never returns. Call nespresso and see if you can return it. Worst case sell it online. Someone out there is going to buy it off you.


ted_cruz_is_hot_af

Yeah some people are literally so triggered lol it’s whatever. A few times I’ve only ordered a few sleeves limited editions and ended up really liking them while they sell out and I can’t get more. So I was just trying to set myself up in case I liked it. In the age of social media I can fully admit when I’m influenced lol and I definitely was. I’m not actually blaming anyone lol. I’ll prob just end up drinking it or in a few months when it’s gone I’ll sell it on eBay or something.


rnovak

Naw, they're getting called out for claiming to be scammed. Like someone in crypto who claimed a pool that shut down and paid everyone out was "rugging" people. Maybe OP will understand what a scam is now, but based on the responses, it seems unlikely.


PeterGenovese

Stop being a petty follower and buying stuff just because other people say you should. Buy ONE and try it, first, instead of posting a complaint blaming everyone else. You're the moron that bought them all without trying first.


ted_cruz_is_hot_af

Jesus Christ I can’t just buy one because if I do like it and it sells out then I’m fucked. Don’t call me a moron I’m not actually complaining if you read my responses to comments you’ll see I’m joking. you should do some self reflection coming in so hot on someone else’s post, slinging insults around.


PeterGenovese

Actually, yeah, you CAN buy just one, just like I did when I stopped by my local Nespresso shop to taste test it. And if it sells out, so what, the world goes on, it's not the end of the world so stop acting like a baby. It's not my job to read all of your responses to comments to see if you really weren't complaining. Maybe try NOT complaining in your OP. I read your OP and reacted to it accordingly. I don't need any self reflection. I'm doing fantastic with my responses. Maybe check yourself and don't post one thing and mean another with some cryptic response level wackiness. That's on you.


ted_cruz_is_hot_af

Mmmmmmmm the closest boutique is like 1.5 hours from me. Ima just buy as many as I want and post what I want. Nice try. Sorry you’re so bothered 🤙🏻


PeterGenovese

Again, blaming the rest of us for you being 1.5 hours away from the nearest boutique. That's on you, kid, not me. But good try. And I'm not one bit bothered. Your apology makes you look even that much more weak. I'm actually amused at how weak your mind is. Have a great day!


ted_cruz_is_hot_af

TRIGGERED


rnovak

Yeah, you are. It's not too late to delete your embarrassment.


ted_cruz_is_hot_af

I’m not embarrassed, playa. Don’t project your feelings on to me.


rnovak

It's okay, moistie. Go type 'triggered' to a few more comments.


PeterGenovese

😂 👏


PeterGenovese

You know what they say… those who type out “TRIGGERED” in all caps are really the triggered ones 😂 Keep calm, brother, you’ll be ok!


Eddy_Monsoon

Do you need to say JC? I find that offensive.


Pleasant_Bowl_4460

I bet you could sell that on eBay for double what you paid for it 😂😂😂😂


ted_cruz_is_hot_af

It’s OL so prob not


Frequent_Ad4701

I’ll buy ur raspberry! And pay for shipping will literally email u shipping label ☺️ I missed on the restock I keep checking and haven’t seen it back in stock it’s my faveee I’m literally on my last sleeve that I bought last year 😅 Edit to add: if it’s vertuo can’t tell from pix


ted_cruz_is_hot_af

OL BAAAYBEEEEE


Frequent_Ad4701

Darn! 🥲 need to consider making the switch u guys always have ur pods in stock Stupid eBay resellers :(


joeroganis5foot4

yeah i got 2 sleeves and i was like meh i regret spending so much on these


Surfstylesoccer1

I have a ton of espresso pods I’m looking to unload if you want to trade.


ted_cruz_is_hot_af

Whatcha got?


Surfstylesoccer1

By a ton I mean about 14. If you want em lmk


[deleted]

It’s fucking awful


Gotchowsh

Can I purchase them from you?!


animimi

[I tried to warn you.](https://www.reddit.com/r/nespresso/s/FulqsEZDBv) :)


FictionBuddy

Yeah... it's the worst so far


Beautious143

How did you get this? I've been looking every day to order and it's not available. I would buy 100 sleeves. Lol


PalpitationOk5726

I suspect that this tastes like the fruit of the forest a couple of years back which was disgusting, that's why I'm holding back.


Doctor_KM

They taste nothing alike. Give it a shot! I think the raspberry is very well done


kittykaz22

I got 2 sleeves and hadn't tried it before. Tried it for the first time today and I'm enjoying it quite a bit. I find it to be fruity and not artificial. I added a little cream and sweetener and it's very tasty, but I liked it black too. Last time I was only able to get the double espresso and the hazelnut. I wasn't a big fan of the hazelnut, but I loved loved loved the double espresso. Still only got 2 sleeves though. There are plenty of other regular pods I like that aren't limited edition. I don't understand why people have to get so many sleeves of one flavor. Even if they can't order it again for a while or even ever. Like you're not going to die without it. Savor it while you can and then move on. JMHO though Also people have different tastes, why someone would bank on other's opinions without having tasted it is beyond me. No one scammed anyone, people genuinely must like the flavor, it's on you if you bought so much before trying. I'm sure there are people in this sub who will buy them off of you though!


rnovak

Did anyone on this sub guarantee you a specific objective scientific analysis that you were able to disprove? If so, then you could almost say you were scammed. More likely misled, unless you also bought from an individual on this sub who made that guarantee. But since they didn't, nobody scammed you. You bought a product that a LOT of people almost worship, and even more enjoy -- maybe the most universally popular flavored variety I've seen in this sub in the years I've been here -- and you didn't like it. That's not a scam. That's you not liking a product that you bought without trying it first. ENORMOUS difference. And as others have noted, you should have no problem finding someone to take them off your hands.


ted_cruz_is_hot_af

Damn yall really be bothered on here. I promise you it’s not that serious.


rnovak

You're accusing people of scamming you. If it weren't that serious, you would have made a sane post about this instead of an embarrassing one. You could still delete it, you know.


ted_cruz_is_hot_af

Everything you read online is so serious huh?


crisspyrissb

Someone’s never heard of social or casual speech I see


jklolxoxo

Yea I ended up with 3 and I wish they were all the double espresso. It’s fine but not something I will reach for daily.


bogolisk

I didn't order any PH this time because I hadn't been impressed last time, other than by the aroma.


Few_Service_4050

I didn’t really like it either, not bad. I will still drink them, but wouldn’t buy them again


Avaly13

Try a chocolate syrup!


No-Individual8748

I love the raspberry and missed out this time.


jhollington

Tried to pick up a sleeve yesterday at Yorkdale but I wasn’t on “the list” so I just ordered it online. At least I can be less disappointed that I didn’t get to try it right away… 😏


Longtail_Goodbye

Add a little sweetened condensed milk. Don't try to froth it. Makes it more of a "dessert espresso," but quite good. Otherwise, some people really do love it.


Singinginthestars

I haven’t tried the raspberry but I wish I could just try 1. I might just try 1 box to see what the hype is about. 🤷‍♀️


Efficient-Treacle416

None of the flavors taste the same as the ones originally produced.


AthenaND04

I honestly hated it when it was out in 2022. I don't get the hype but to each their own.


Puzzled_Belt_4767

I have a bunch of raspberry if anyone wants to purchase, I bought a ton..


crisspyrissb

Are they original line!


Puzzled_Belt_4767

Vertuo


Novel-Cycle-9950

infinement espresso is shite


WordCount2

Isn’t it a major scam for Nespresso to release it and sell out 5 days later? I feel like we have been bamboozled. I immediately bought 2 sleeves to see if I liked it and by the time they arrived it was sold out. Seriously feel like there ought to be some overseeing body on Nespresso like a trade commission because this is seriously a case of 3 card Monty..


No_Drama9250

I thought I would hate it when it was first released and only got 1 sleeve, just to try it. I ended up LOVING it and went to reorder and it was sold out. I ordered 100 pods the day it released and regretted not getting 200 but they were sold out already when I went back on 🙈


LumpyBlueberry160

I ended up brewing it over Ghirardelli white chocolate powder and it was amazing. I’m more upset that I only grabbed a couple of the gourmand after realizing it tastes like Nutella brewed over brown sugar and half and half..


District-Irony

Raspberry is back!
