Unreliable.
This seems to be the hechsher on Nespresso coffee pods. So you would not use it? Or is that different?

Regular coffee doesn't need a hechsher anyway. But AYLOR or call a kashrus agency.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Exactly! IDK much about these pods, so my question really is: are they 100% pure coffee?

Of course. Just pick the ones without flavors if you're worried about the hashgocha.

There are also 3rd party pods under other hechshers, but I'd be very surprised if you are told that you can't use Nespresso unflavored pods under their hechsher.
