I ordered a bunch of pods assuming they would last a while like the last ones I ordered, but that was not the case this time. They will expire in four months which is pretty quick.

Having purchased an expresso machine a few months ago, I knew I could depend on Starbicks to supply a high level product that would make the experience enjoyable - and they did. I love my coffee in the morning, or afternoon, or evening. Thanks.

"amazing taste, however, I really wish the pods could be recycle." Everytime time I throw them away, I feel aweful for what I m doing to the enviroment.

At my office, nothing gets done unless we have a pot of fresh Espresso roast available to the staff. This coffee is a bold, straight-forward coffee. Buying online makes keeping the office stocked super easy. Would recommend to any coffee lover.

This espresso needs alot of sugar and cream to get through the bitterness. But once it is "fixed up" it is not too bad. I think I'll stick with a Turkish brew until I can find an exceptional espresso.

This product has a deep and rich, bold sturdy flavor that is round and never bitter; I enjoy it on the way to work, mid-morning, and with almost any dessert. It's great black or dressed up, but always black with dessert.

Although there are some quirks with the verisimo machine itself--cleaning it, for example--I love, love, love the product that comes out in the machine when I put in the espresso roast pods. Foamy and yummy!

My wife & I both like dark roasts but we do not own an espresso maker. We have tried most of the dark roast beans and like many of them, but our favorite is the espresso roast ground at a medium setting.

Overall, I would have given this a 3.5 if I could have. I realize espresso is strong, however, I've also had smooth espresso, which if that is your preference, then this is not your drink. It's perfect in a latte if you add a touch of sweetness.

Love love love these pods!!!! The espresso shot is so smooth and creamy! I was a sbux barista for 5 yrs and it tastes just as good (I think the pods taste better) as a shot in the store.
