I much prefer espresso & can't wait to get mine. I bought the Caffe Verona Pods while I wait. It's pretty good, but I can't get the caffine boost I want with it, I'd have to drink too much & I can only handle 4 pods of the Verona but 6 pods of the espresso! Bigger boost for really tired people with the espresso.

I've always been a Starbucks fan, I tried Komodo Dragon, Sumatra, Italian Roast and Pikes coffee and all were great! One day, I'd went and got Cafe Verona, Similar to Morning Joe's, I notice a soothing, strong, sweet smell when brewing, when I took my first sip of it, omg, I notice a rich, impressive taste, especially on my tongue, the second and third sip, I tasted a sweetness of chocolate in my mouth, kinda makes you Thirsty for water, its a very intense, bold and very good, yummy coffee, definitely love it, the best they have, I suggest drinking it with your breakfast, or a piece of pie, definitely buy again!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Starbucks Verona ground coffee is fantastic! I haven't had this blend/flavor before, but it was great! The wife drinks it occasionally at work, so she already knew it was great. Smooth, delicious flavor, even with no sweetners. I set my coffee maker to go off at 5am in the morning, and nothing is better than rolling over to shut the alarm off, and smelling the coffee all the way in the bedroom!

We use a drip coffee maker with a side single cup maker. Verona is equally good in either. Bold, smooth, no hint of off flavors and a touch of chocolate. We keep coming back after trying cheaper brands. It IS expensive but we can't seem to find any equivalent in the dark roasts at our local stores or from craft roasters. I'm addicted.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the Starbucks Caffe Verona that had separate small sealed cans of coffee. This was great, because each one was enough for a pot of coffee. Having each one sealed made the coffee taste fresher.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Starbucks Caffe Verona KCup's are great when you want Starbucks first thing in the morning, but don't want to get in your car and order it yourself. The quality is just as good as you'd find at a cafe.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoy The Starbucks Café Verona coffee. I really enjoyed the rich aroma and flavor of this coffee.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Starbucks Caffe Verona is a good coffee. I enjoy the chocolate flavor.. It was easy to make. It was easy to clean up. I didn't require any sweetener in it. It tasted great as it was. #ad #freesample

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If Romeo and Juliet had a favorite coffee, this would be it. Dark, romantic, and a little mysterious—Caffè Verona is basically a love letter to chocolate lovers and bold coffee enthusiasts alike. The rich, velvety flavor wraps around you like a warm hug from an Italian nonna who just told you you’re too skinny and need more biscotti. The deep cocoa notes make it perfect for pairing with a piece of dark chocolate (or, let’s be real, an entire chocolate cake). Whether you’re starting your day or sneaking in a cozy afternoon break, this coffee delivers the perfect balance of intensity and smoothness. True love may be complicated, but this coffee? Absolutely flawless. #freesample

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Full bodied coffee that is right for me and boyfriend. He likes his coffee strong, I prefer mine mild to medium. But I wanted to try the dark roast, glad I did. It is on strong side, so if your sensitive to not liking strong flavored coffee, this may not be for you, but on the other hand, great for the ones that like it strong and dark.
