The Dolce Gusto Caffe Lungo capsules are awesome. This is a strong coffee, a caffe lungo is a "long coffee" or big coffee that Europeans drink. It's like their everyday coffee. The caffe lungo is meant to be a stronger tasting, somewhat bitter coffee. It means business. So if you like a strong, slightly bitter coffee in the morning like I do, it's wonderful. Now. Because the Dolce Gusto machine lets YOU decide how much water to add, you can further control the strength and therefore bitterness. Obviously, the more water you add, the more mild the coffee will be. I suggest that when you first get the machine, you experiment with strength by using a pyrex measuring cup. They suggest adding 4oz of water, but obviously you can add however much or however little water your heart desires to suit your tastes. Apparently, Europeans are not sitting around enjoying big mugs like Americans are. I think they simply drink more cups throughout the day.

At any rate, this is a wonderful, full-bodied and slightly bitter coffee. I makes a wonderful crema layer. (the froth you get from a pressure-brewed coffee) You certainly can't get this from a k-cup or Keurig (drip brew) system. I love this first thing in the morning when I need a sock in the eye to wake me up!

Along with the Macchiato flavor, this is my favorite. A very pleasant drink. As the label suggests, this is a good "morning cup of coffee." I've been drinking it regularly most mornings for a couple of weeks and still enjoy it. The standard recommended serving size for this one is pretty small (only 4 ounces). The recommended Americano portion is 6 ounces, which I prefer. The flavor is dark and rich and really wakes you up in the morning. It also develops a nice cream on top at the end of brewing. Yummy!

5/5

This is a good coffee, and it is not too strong. One thing I will point out, unless you like really weak coffee (I like it more medium) one capsule only makes about 4 ounces. So for an 8 ounce cup I would use 2 capsules.

I prefer my coffee black. Usually, I turn to my Keurig for a great cup of rich black coffee. However, the Dolce Gusto does a nice cup of unadorned coffee, as well. The Caffee Lungo is, indeed, a very nice, naked coffee. For my taste, though, it is a bit to strongly flavored. The frothiness is not altogether to my liking. However, with a bit of milk and sugar the Lungo is very tasty, indeed.

There are two ways to brew it. The smaller cup is the "Americano" while the larger is the Caffee Lungo. A frothy "Americano" seems a bit odd but it is tasty, if a bit to strong.

Remember, the strength of the flavor is largely a result of a dark roasting. A rule of thumb is the darker the roast the less caffeine in the coffee.

Anyway, the Dolce Gusto continues to impress me.

If you use the Dolce Gusto machine Amazon is the place to buy the coffee. You'll get the best price and super fast shipping. And if you setup a subscription for the coffee you'll even get a better price!

This is the best coffee ever! I will never drink regular brewed again. I don't know how I lived without this coffee machine.Love It, Love it, Love it!

Definitely the best tasting, to me. I wasn't sure if it was the milk pods causing the aftertaste or not. I tried the coffee straight with my own milk or creamer, and it tasted better.

As the product description says this is the perfect "all day" flavor for a wonderful tasting cup of coffee. It doesn't matter if you need it as your morning "go juice" or an evening coffee. You will be doing yourself a disservice if you don't give this one a shot.

I have a Dolce Guso coffee maker and I LOVE it. Unfortunately in our area the most we can buy are flavored coffees. Thank you for handling the coffee's for my machine. Our favorite is Lungo and Espresso. We have several cups a day.

Amazing coffee! It gives you exactly what you need to get you moving in the morning.. a good jolt of caffeine. Ever since I bought the Dolce Gusto Coffee machine, this is my coffee of choice, along with the Dolce Gusto Cappuccino. Two thumbs up!
