ITALIAN COFFEE FOR ESPRESSO LOVERS Italian Coffee capsules compatible with Verismo, CBTL, Caffitaly, K-fee systems (Sampler, 4 flavors, 40 pods tot., No decaf)

Works perfectly with my Verismo coffee machine!

After Starbucks pulled the rug out from under me by eliminating support for the Verismo, I took a leap of faith that a coffee company that shares my Italian heritage wouldn’t let me down.Amazing, complex flavor! I have no idea what the naysayers are talking about with this coffee. My wife and I sat down to do a serious coffee tasting of each of the four varieties in our sampler (Intenso, Brasil, Cremoso, and Ristretto), and each one delivered a complex tasting experience. From the full body of the Intenso, to the herbaceous and citrus nature of the Brasil, to the earthy and creamy Cremoso, and the dark complexity of the Ristretto, each delivered waves of flavor and acidity sip after sip, all well balanced as an espresso should be. To top it all off, the price per cup is far less than my previous Starbucks varieties, making my wallet as happy as my taste buds.As it did not feature Prime delivery, it took a solid week to get to me in Ohio, but it was well worth the wait. My wife and I couldn’t pick a favorite, so the four variety box is going on the Amazon Subscribe and Save list immediately.One quick note on the Intenso: as it is designed as a Lungo-sized portion (essentially a higher volume espresso), I found that three pulls of the espresso setting on the Verismo was optimal, with four pulls muting the subtle flavors. Using the milk pod button on the Verismo also yielded an excellent result, and while this may just be the power of suggestion from the button, I felt it delivered a thicker crema.Five stars, and you have yourself a new repeat customer!

I had my Verismo machine packed up and ready to be donated to goodwill, even though it looked and worked like new. Starbuck’s just quit selling pods for their machines, so I hadn’t used mine in a couple years. Quite by chance these coffee pods showed up when I was browsing on Amazon. I read some reviews and decided to give the variety pack a whirl since it was only around $20. I figured if they didn’t work, it wasn’t a huge loss—and the machine was on its way out the door anyhow. That one last hurrah turned out to be the best thing ever! I found the coffee pods to be better than the Starbucks ones because they taste just as good and they’re less than half the price I was paying for Starbucks. I am beyond pleased with this product. Just ordered another set of 80 pods in the Cremoso flavor.

We've used these pods for our machine since 2022, over 50 purchases made. They worked great!Removed one star as the packaging has changed in the past month, and they no longer work accurately. We actually bought a new machine, as we thought our old one finally kicked the bucket, and they did not work with the new machine either (K-Fee Verismo).I hope this can be rectified!Thank you.

I switched to this product because the CBTL pods were not available. Big mistake. These pods fit my Caffitaly machine but the coffee is disgusting. Nothing close to expresso, it is dilute and tasteless. I just found out I can't return them, so I'm stuck with 79 pods that I won't drink. What a waste...

Excellent! Great value!

I have a CTBL machine and CTBL coffee pods are very expensive. These are an economical and taste great. My favorite is the Cremoso which leaves a creamy smooth froth on top. Ristretto is a dark bold flavor, Lungo is a medium body, and Brasil is my least favorite, as it taste more on the bitter side. Of course I put 2T of vanilla sweet cream in my cup in order to drink it. I don’t think I could drink this coffee black. Too strong. But that is why I have this on subscription shipment, because I love this coffee’s boldness and flavor and look forward to my two cups each morning.

I got gifted a Starbucks verisimo machine and needed a compatible pod as they seem to be discontinued. Honestly, neither worked- the machine nor the pods. Tried to return the pods and the company wouldn’t accept( i guess because it’s a food item?) - but they kindly gave me a refund- so points for customer service, not the pods- which i never got to taste !
