I was super disappointed with the gingerbread pod until i added some spiced brown sugar syrup! It’s brings out all the spice notes and now I love it.

[@lisamcseveney691]

I agree! I add brown sugar cinnamon syrup and cinnamon to the top and it’s better. But honestly both pods are pretty disappointing (compared to what I expected).

[@_Alexmojica]

Nice! I’ll try with some cinnamon syrups

[@MunchkinBraidy]

I adore peppermint pinwheel I have gone through 2 full sleeves and my teenage loves it as well

[@_Alexmojica]

Oh nice!

[@melissanoe2980]

I love the half calfs and decafs! I love the peppermint so much! ❤

[@Debbie801]

I just bought a Nespresso Vertuo machine 2 weeks ago from QVC and bought some pods and received them 2 days ago~ just found your channel and love the reviews, etc. Love the content and can't wait for more!!

[@_Alexmojica]

Thank you!

[@andreacarissa]

silk almond has a great peppermint mocha creamer that pairs well with peppermint pinwheel!!

[@_Alexmojica]

I love that one!

[@stephaniesimmons0723]

With the peppermint pinwheel it’s too mild for me so I amp it up with peppermint extract and chocolate or white chocolate! The gingerbread is very, very subtle almost to the point of tasting like a regular coffee! I still use your method and Griselda Ly’s method of adding spices to the frothed milk and vanilla or brown sugar cinnamon SF Torani! Thanks for sharing your opinion Alex!

[@_Alexmojica]

Thank you Stephanie!

[@SineadGrant]

I love the peppermint pod. It was such a weird idea for me that I had to try it. And I ended up adoring it. The gingerbread one I didn’t love until I started adding cinnamon to it. 😊

[@_Alexmojica]

Glad you’re enjoying them!

[@iamgriselda]

For Peppermint Pinwheel, I got it last year and still had half a sleeve so you can tell I didn't love it too much. I do like to add some chocolate sauce or syrup to make it more like a peppermint mocha. I used to love to drink those from Starbucks before I got my Nespresso! The gingerbread pod, I totally agree, if I didn't know that it was flavored, I would think its a normal pod because the flavor is so subtle! I added the monin gingerbread syrup and it was still kind of blah to me. I actually loved your recipe and kind of prefer that method to make it taste more gingerbread-y.

[@_Alexmojica]

Thanks! I definitely prefer making it with a different pod and spices

[@JuanitaBrazziel]

Totally agree with your notes on the peppermint pod, I’m gonna have to check out the syrups that you recommended

[@dianeguy4308]

I like the peppermint pod with Chobani mocha peppermint creamer. It is delicious!

[@_Alexmojica]

Nice!

[@sipntools]

The pH syrups no doubt elevate every drink! I also added the Winter Mint to the Peppermint Pinwheel pod. It's a no-go for me, but I will finish the sleeve, as I love minty drinks. I'm going to try that combo of the pH Ginger and Monin Spiced Brown Sugar. Thx Alex!

[@_Alexmojica]

Let me know how you like that combo!

[@jorale2000]

The recovery from that slide across the floor was everything 😂. Glad you didn’t fall. I knew the peppermint pinwheel pod wouldn’t be for me. I’d rather use peppermint syrup with mocha sauce in a double chiaro pod. I have the Gingerbread pod and it’s pretty decent, I will finish the sleeve but likely won’t repurchase. Thanks for the video 😊

[@_Alexmojica]

Haha caught myself 😄 and yes I’d have to agree it’s better to make something similar with a different pod

[@rainedeartasi]

I use some peppermint mocha creamer in mine. Top with whip and crushed candy cane candy. yum

[@_Alexmojica]

Nice!

[@Homebycal]

I just received my gingerbread pods yesterday I’ll be trying them today 😊

[@_Alexmojica]

Hope you enjoyed them!

[@nuallaolanrewaju7552]

I had NO IDEA that peppermint pod was decaf/half.. I had decided that I wouldn’t buy the peppermint pod buttttt I’m shocked that you liked without milk, now I’m dying to try it lol. The gingerbread pod I enjoy drinking it with milk and vanilla syrup

[@_Alexmojica]

Haha it’s definitely better without milk almost like drinking tea

[@ranjeetadnath]

I just tried the gingerbread pod yesterday with just milk and sugar. I was blown away with the ginger flavor, it was too strong for my liking, lol and I’m Indian, so I love ginger, especially in chai. That threw me off a bit but I still have plenty pods left in the sleeve, so I’m sure I’ll find my right flavor with some of the suggestions in the comments.

[@_Alexmojica]

Wow that’s crazy that you felt it was strong! I could barely taste it with milk

[@katietucker4772]

I like the peppermint pod I add peppermint flavor and Monin peppermint syrup alone with coco and creamer so good on a cold winter night. Not yet tried ginger bread yet. ☕️

[@_Alexmojica]

Yum!

[@deeford8318]

Wow, so glad you posted this. I have both pods and I drink them with cream or milk and I can barely taste the flavor in either. So shocked the peppermint pinwheel is half caf - I had no idea! So disappointed in the peppermint I was really expecting more.

[@_Alexmojica]

Yeah they are not the best but spicing them up with syrups def helps

[@nicolezachwieja3629]

I bet the gingerbread pod would be really good with Pink House Alchemy's pH Delight syrup, too, with that cinnamon-y flavor mixing with the gingerbread spice!

[@_Alexmojica]

Might be good too!

[@aserna629]

There is a oat milk chocolate peppermint creamer at Aldi! It’s delicious with the peppermint pod!

[@_Alexmojica]

Thanks!

[@msmintygreen]

Mmm… What?? Peppermint pinwheel is half caf?!?!?! They never told me that!! I really really love it with silk almond peppermint mocha creamer. I froth it with some 1% milk. It’s sooooo good. 😍

[@_Alexmojica]

Can you believe it! Also the creamer is very delicious

[@melissarodriguez2062]

I add Chobani Coffee peppermint creamer, so good. Chocolate peppermint coffee ☕️ ❤️

[@_Alexmojica]

Nice!

[@debwoowoo]

Not going to buy the gingerbread pods but I love the Peppermint Pinwheel. I add a splash of Starbucks White Chocolate Mocha creamer and a bit of almond milk and I Love it!!! Nice cozy drink. Thanks Alex♥️

[@_Alexmojica]

Yummm

[@sandrasworld3249]

Hi Alex, I’m new to the Nespresso fam and purchased my vertuo plus last week (waiting to receive) however I’ve seen a couple videos specially since I love lattes and starting to want to make my own I did watch the depth video of pods and what their used for to brew along with what you recommend to pair with.... would you be able to make a video for beginners who are learning to start which pods with syrups and , milks you would recommend for people (like me) who love lattes but don’t drink them on the daily but want to make them at home...not sure if you have one already maybe I’ve missed it thank you! ❤️

[@_Alexmojica]

Maybe in the future, for no might I suggest watching a lot of my older videos as I touch on that kinda stuff on each one little by little

[@susankuom9221]

love the PP, i add some milk and chobani sweet cream creamer and drink warm, and my daughter adds the creamer and hersheys dark special syrup and drinks it iced!

[@_Alexmojica]

Yummm

[@dianapetrut227]

I loved your reactions, sadly I live in Europe and we don't have these pods here. I tried Monin's gingerbread syrup and I love it, especially paired with the OL cocoa truffle pod. That's my favourite recipe for a gingerbread latte. I'm very curious what you will think of the OL forest collection, I'm really tempted to try one of the pods but still undecided which one, so hopefully you will do a taste test of those.

[@_Alexmojica]

The fruit one was very yummy, I believe most of them are gone now. Didn’t get to try almond and haven’t tried forest

[@dianeguy4308]

I have not tried the gingerbread one yet.

[@yreyes2417]

Hi Alex great suggestions. I didnt care for the Gingerbread pod. I am a pumpkin spice and Gingerbread spice lover so this pod was blah. It's also a pricey sleeve.

[@_Alexmojica]

Definitely don’t like the price

[@joiwilson7152]

I definitely did not enjoy the peppermint pinwheel, not even with peppermint syrup. However, I do love the gingerbread pod with my Monin gingerbread syrup! I have now ordered the gingerbread pod twice.

[@_Alexmojica]

Nice!

[@laurenlopez4175]

Literally didn’t know it was half-caffeinated until you read that! Thank you! 😅🤣

[@_Alexmojica]

You’re welcome!

[@quinniemac]

I tried the gingerbread with milk and was so underwhelmed. 😳

[@_Alexmojica]

Yeah I can see that

[@quinniemac]

@@_Alexmojica months ago I got the Hazelnut syrup and Vanilla Bean syrup from Pink House Alchemy from your recommendation and I LOVE them! I'm definitely going to consider trying their Ginger one. 😍

[@KuroyoruUmidori]

I wish the Original had more of the same flavors as the V tbh

[@_Alexmojica]

Same

[@BrittKatSlat]

The peppermint pinwheel suckkksss. In my opinion! Lol. I am eager to try the ginger pod. Thanks for your video. ❤️❤️❤️

[@BrittKatSlat]

Gingerbread***

[@Chelsea070989]

With all of the different reviews I’m seeing on gingerbread I am honestly starting to think the batches may have been different. I’ve seen several people post on Reddit or YT that theirs was really strong and other people say theirs was not there at all. I love the peppermint and pair it with a dash of peppermint mocha creamer, Soo good, I could drink it black as well though.

[@_Alexmojica]

I can see that happening. Nespressos quality has proven to be inconsistent across the board

[@Debbie801]

Question? instead of buying the Gingerbread pod~ can I buy a gingerbread syrup and a regular pod will it taste the same and add milk?

[@_Alexmojica]

I have a shorts video showing you guys how if you care to check it out

[@ilovehandbags06]

Do they always do Christmas range? Also they ever send you out offers? New at this

[@_Alexmojica]

Every holiday they have some holiday pods. They don’t really do sales on coffee, but if you buy a lot of sleeves sometimes you get one free which is kinda lame

[@Itsvic7or]

Which one do you recommend Vertuo Next or plus?

[@_Alexmojica]

The plus, the next is very faulty

[@dianebowman4215]

Years ago way before Nespresso…I stopped at McDonalds and got their peppermint mocha, stupid me I thought it was going to be coco well it wasn’t. After I tasted it I tossed it. I don’t think I’d spend my money on these pods.

[@marlynesters2079]

Hello, Question: what machine do you prefer, I’m in the market for one. I’m Undecided. I did see your video on machine comparisons (I’m getting a Vertuo Next). Do you order pods directly from Nespresso?

[@marlynesters2079]

Btw, Thank You for your honest opinion on your comparisons, very much appreciated

[@_Alexmojica]

At this point it just really depends what you prefer as a coffee drinker I did advise in the video against the vertuo next though and yes you order the pods straight from espresso Amazon has them but they’ve arrived damaged before so I stopped buying them from them

[@Moni-T-V]

I wonder if they have a chai latte kind of flavor pod 🤔

[@_Alexmojica]

Don’t think so, you would have to make it taste that way

[@irinanazario3446]

Hola Alex me encantan tus videos. Me gustaria ver tus video en español. Saludos desde Florida Miami 🥰

[@_Alexmojica]

No sé nada en español de café, las palabras se me olvidan frecuentemente 😅

[@Pinguii3]

I'm just here to look at the Elf lol

[@_Alexmojica]

😂😂😂

[@unnamed2075]

I disliked the peppermint pinwheel. Then I tried it with coconut milk, dark chocolate syrup and a crushed after eight and completely changed my mind

[@12345Elenia]

The peppermint pinwheel was delicious for me, and I added some peppermint syrup for some added ‘oomph’ 😂 But the gingerbread was a massive let down sadly

[@_Alexmojica]

Aww darn it!

[@sherrisurles1155]

What store did you find your Santa mug?

[@rachelwilliams8287]

She mentioned she got it at Anthropologie in store but that it was sold out online

[@xoxjelloxox]

Gingerbread is completely sold out where I am and the peppermint is sold out online :(

[@_Alexmojica]

😢

[@autumnhazel6152]

Does your Elf on the shelf or in the wreath😅have a name

[@Pinguii3]

😅🤣😂

[@_Alexmojica]

Not yet! I should name him

[@madisonshimada2397]

Gingerbread is a little too strong to my liking peppermint pinwheel I can rock with

[@madisonshimada2397]

But the flavours are not very strong in my opinion it’s kind of weak and just lingers

[@w121mxb]

I did not get one note of ginger from this, how are people tasting it is beyond me!!!

[@Mommyxofxtwins]

I don't understand how y'all just do milk and syrups... I decided I wanted to try coffee with just milk and syrup and I dumped it!!! I guess it's an acquired taste because it literally tasted like nothing! 😂🥲

[@_Alexmojica]

So what do you do?

[@athena5165]

Definitely not worth the hype. So disappointing.
