Coffee bold taste but smooth, no bitter "edges". Great price too. Review: Caffe Borbone: BLACK is better than Blu in my opinion: rich, intense, deep and robust. A perfect Italian blend. - ******* 31 March 2015 update: Before Caffe Borbone came out with their Miscela Black, I had previously tried Blu and left a review of it below. I rated their Blu 3 star. But their Black - wow! Black! It's so much different to me. It might also be that I've been using Lucaffe Classic pods for a while now and I wanted something different. I'm not sure if I got a bad batch of Lucaffe Classic pods, but something wasn't right with the last box of 50 I ordered. What I'm learning about these ESE Pods is you still need to get a freshly packaged batch for them to be really good. I hate to say it, but I'm super picky about fresh beans. When I open a new bag of coffee beans I want them totally gone within 2-3 days, otherwise the taste starts getting acidic and stale. No good. I think I got lucky with Borbone's new Black. They sent me a sample of all their pods and the Black stuck out the most. It was so freakin' rich, intense and robust. I couldn't believe the depth of flavor that came out of one of these small pods. I had previously really enjoyed the Lucaffee Classic because they had a nicely balanced blend of Arabica (80%) and Robusta (20%) beans. But the last batch I tried was a bit too nutty tasting - either the roast was too light or there was too much Robusta in the blend. Regardless, I remembered how much I enjoyed the Black sample. I purchased an entire box and am happy to have received a super fresh batch. They don't expire until February 2017, so I'm guessing they were just packaged in Feb. 2015. I really, really can't believe they could last until 2017, though. Anyway - Black: rich, deep, robust, dark. It makes a stellar espresso shot and is my new go-to ;) ****************** Previous review of BLU: I've been in and out of the at-home espresso market since 2004 when I got my first machine. Back then I was working at Starbucks (2000-2006) and I got a super cheap Estro Vapore machine that had been sitting in a Starbucks basement for years. Long and short, when I recently wanted to get back into making at-home macchiatos, I wanted something simple and clean. I bought myself a Gaggia Evolution and a box of Lucaffe Classic pods. My wife's friend told me about Lucaffe, so I decided to check them out. Shortly after I tried the Lucaffe's, I purchased the Borbone Blu because of it's online reputation and positive reviews. I have to say, I tried to like them, but after trying 10, I just wasn't as impressed as I was with the Lucaffee Classic. The Borbone Blu's were much more acidic and tangy. They still offer a good shot of espresso, but don't have the aroma or body that the Lucaffe's do. I much prefer the Lucaffe's. I returned the Borbone Blu box of 150 pods I had purchased, and got myself another one of the Lucaffes. The Lucaffe Classics are smooth, consistent, full of body and chocolaty: just what I want in my espresso. Pour this into a bit of steamed milk and you've created bliss. I also appreciate Lucaffe's packaging: the sealed foil is small and thin. The Burbone foil is much more dense and larger. I didn't see why the added weight and size was needed for the same size pod. If you're not a fan of chocolaty, smooth espresso, and want a more acidic and sharp espresso, go for the Borbone Blu. They just were not what I was looking for.

From the black, red, blue, and yellow packages.** A: Red - Red blend is recommended for those who love their espresso bold. This blend has a higher Robusta composition for dense aroma and body.Gold - Selected qualities of precious Arabica beans for a delicate taste and unmistakable aroma. Mild, smooth and refined. Less caffeine with tones of sugar, fruit and berries. Delicious as an after dinner coffee.Blue - For the coffee lover who enjoys the quality of Arabica but also a small intense note of extraordinary, this coffee has a smooth, refined flavor with hints of chocolate, perfect for the true coffee connoisseurs.Black - Blend of Blue & Red **Q: can you use these pods with a senseo machine?** A: These are for machines that use the ESE pods. They are designed to be used under pressure with boiling water in an espresso machine, not in a drip coffee with hot water. I don't think they'll fit and I don't think the water will flow through as designed without the pressure. **Q: Does this work on the Keuring Rivo Machine?** A: Caffe Borbone are ESE Pods, not K-Cups or anything made specifically for the Rivo. Here's a link to Keurig Rivo FAQs that definitively answers your question:http://www.keurig.com/mobile/customerservice/customerServiceDetail.aspx?itemID={BD1E694F-C9FD-4C72-BBF1-85F754C4358C}§ionID=90a040bd-88af-4b3f-8ce7-a344c9f6b78e **Q: Does it work with nexpresso** A: I think it wouldn't work with nexpresso, though I don't own one. I believe nexpresso works with a cup-kind of pod, this is just a little pillow, more like a tea-bag than a cup. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great tasting Italian espresso *by J***B on May 3, 2026* Great Italian expresso, easy to use paper pods.
