Italian Coffee Pods compatible with Verismo, CBTL (Pack of 80 Cremoso)

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.

Great coffee and it works fine in my Starbucks machine. Which is good sense Starbucks is going to stop selling pods and I have two of their machines. There cost is 1.00 a pod . These are .44 a pod. nice . There are two espresso pods you can get so you have options. The flavor is wonderful with a nice after taste. I like to make capacinos and dopios. Either works perfect i like the creamy one. But I am sure the other one is just as good. It would be a bit stronger. So it is up to your personal preference. And at .44 you can have both.

These coffee pods are delicious! I cant believe how good they are. And the price is amazing for what you get. You are defiantly getting quality which isnt usual without paying an arm and a leg. Seriously, i rarely write reviews but this coffee is delicious. I wake up every morning excited for my oat milk late with cafe latte espresso. We keep ordering over and over because they are so good.

This is my third purchase of 80 pods. Shipping speed is good and the coffee is flavorful and creamy. Last year, all different flavors were packed in the same pot. This year new pots are used and each with flavor printed on the top cover. I have tried two flavors and find these new pots terrible. They have two major problems. Firstly multiple times grounded coffee pour out with liquid. Second, little liquid comes out and hot steams pour out from the top of Verisimo. The handle bar to open the pot chamber is stuck. About 30% pots are bad! PLEASE MAKE FUNCTIONAL container or your good coffee will be useless. You are ruining my coffee machine. Dec. 2022 My next order of the same flavor has perfect pots. There is no more leak. But the taste is utterly different and bitter! The reason for sticking to this product is because it tasted better than StarBucks', but this batch tastes terribly bitter as if coffee beans were totally burnt.

I’m a Starbucks fanatic-ever since the first one opened up near me when I was a teen I’ve preferred their signature strong, over roasted flavor to the other coffee chains open at the time(such as Arabica & Caribou),although Caribou is second best imo. I Bought a Verissimo machine on clearance 5yrs ago and buy the Starbucks espresso pods in bulk thru Amazon’s subscribe & save, but it’s still pretty pricey at 85-68cents a pod, so I decided to give these pods a try. •TECHNICAL/FIT issues: They WORK! Although they fit & released 99% of the time without getting stuck or jammed up in there(one pod out of 20), I had to press down so flippin hard on the lever in order to break through the foil seal, I worried it would break the lever over time. But that wasn’t a true deal breaker for me. •FLAVOR: ehh🤨 My husband is far less picky about his espresso than I am(strong=good),so he didn’t notice a huge difference between Starbucks and these-when I pointed the switch out to him he said he could tell something was different but not in a bad way so it IS good coffee! BUT...... I AM picky and these taste nothing like Starbucks, imo. There’s little to no creme’(foam on top)and it’s muddier in appearance(like a dark,almost murky gray river clay as opposed to a rich/dark,earthy toned clay...if that makes sense?). It’s also a strictly single serve pod(one pass before it’s mostly water), whereas the Starbucks pods can take 1.1/2-2 runs through the espresso cycle before reaching a similar watery state. Flavor wise it IS good espresso and plenty strong; just don’t expect a Starbucks equivalent, especially in terms of an overly roasted flavor. I highly recommend trying them out cuz worst case scenario, you have an emergency espresso stash if you’re short on Starbucks pods-or simply don’t wanna share your precious Starbucks pods with less picky/discerning family members & your guests☺️

These arrived right on time, and provide an excellent cup of espresso or if you prefer an Americano which is my preference. I run two shots of espresso from one capsule pod and then the hot water pour-over. The flavor is a good medium roast with a nice crema on the top of the cup. I’ve used CBTL and Starbucks pods for years, and these compare favorably, and provide the best coffee bang for your buck! Give them a try!

I buy these regularly, it has 8 sleeves of 10 pods each I usually order when I’m about halfway through my 7th sleeve and it works out perfectly. The flavor is delicious, I work from home and these make my life soo much better ❤️ I’ve been using these for about a year now with my verismo machine and can’t even calculate how much money I’ve saved making my own lattes. Costing less than 50 cents a shot… I use about 2-3 shots a day and don’t feel guilty about it. Sometimes even after dinner I’ll have an affogato and just love that these pods give me the ability to enjoy fresh delicious espresso in my home any time at a GREAT price. I even remember my first purchase ever and it got lost in the mail i was sad but customer service did not hesitate to refund me which I turned around and bought the product again and I’m glad I did 😋 so from taste to price to customer service these are my favorite pods out there ☕️

I love these espresso pods for my Verismo from Italy....just as good as the starbucks I used to order...but really couldn't afford over a dollar per pod..so happy that this company supplies quality coffee at an affordable price. .This 100% arabica is wonderful...service is fast and excellent customer service....I initially tried the sample pack...all were excellent...but I prefer the cremoso (nice creamy head) and brazilian ...Don't hesitate to try this brand...you will be very HAPPY!

Good experience.....quick delivery and great product

Excellent

Would be good however after using these coffee pods for a week 50% of them don’t work or produce a cup of espresso. And it’s not my machine. Quality control is not good. I will not buy again.

Ne convient pas aux cafetières Caffitaly, mais le descriptif prétent le contraire, je suis déçue

I finally opened the package and tried two capsules. Both weren't running properly and ended up blocking my Verismo machine. Unfortunately, my return window just closed, so I am stuck.
