[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't usually drink decaf coffee but that is changing after trying this coffee. It tastes great!! Tastes fresh and satisfying!! Easy to brew just put the kcup in the machine with water and enjoy. I can now enjoy a cup of coffee before bed so I will keep this great tasting coffee in my cupboard and I will recommend it to family and friends!! Great coffee, great taste!
I had this coffee in my pantry and decided to give it a go. I ground it in my single dose grinder, weigh out the coffee and water, made my normal pour over in a v60. I’ve had it for the past three days and on the first sip today after breakfast it has upset my stomach. The taste is awful, very ashy and bitter in an unpleasant way. There are no interesting or pleasant tasting notes. Maybe I have a bad batch? Or it’s been in my pantry too long? Something is definitely wrong.
I love the depth, and clear taste of this blend! Dark without tasting like burnt, sour beans! My absolute favorite! Try this if you love a dark roast, but hate the burned taste!
I have been a lover of Starbucks for years since I had my very first cup, and Cafe Verona is my #1 favorite of all. It’s very balanced, bold but not bitter, and the perfect way I start my day. I’m also a big fan of Pike Place, House Blend, and Breakfast Blend, and it is not uncommon to see all four flavors in my pantry, but Cafe Verona remains my favorite. I also love the Starbuck’s Guatemala K-Cups, but I have been unable to find for several years.
I'm trying these Starbucks pods for the first time. (I usually use Nespresso pods Firenze and Ristretto and thought it would be a nice change.) I am really disappointed. The flavor is not as rich and it's leaving a strange aftertaste in my mouth. I got five sleeves of various Starbucks blends, so I think I wasted quite a bit of money. Boo.
I have enjoyed Verona blend for several years. The notes of cocoa were much more pleasant than the dark cocoa & carmelized sugar. Please offer the original as well...is there a source for it?
