I've tried dozens of pod brands in my semi-commercial machine and found the Caffe Gioia to be among the best and a good value too. In addition to good rich taste these pods are packed perfectly to produce just the right amount of espresso in 20-22 seconds and perfect crema nearly 1/4". If you have a cheap machine that does not produce enough pressure, however, you might do better with cheaper pods that are not so well packed. Try the sampler packs.

I've been into espressos and lattes for about 8 years now. After moving to NY and visiting all local Italian coffee shops, I've declared one of them to be a winner. The owner of the shop eventually gave me the brand name of the coffee. Biggest mistake :) as I got the pods and drink usually about 2 espressos a day at home. The specific flavor of the coffee is just unbeatable. You must try it.
