Coffee Compostable Pods, Recyclable Wrapping, Blue Blend - 150 Pods - ESE System

Caffè Borbone’s compostable pods have completely transformed my morning routine. The aroma hits you instantly — rich, deep, and authentic Italian espresso. The flavour is bold but beautifully smooth, with just the right amount of crema. Best of all, the pods are fully compostable, so I can enjoy premium coffee guilt-free. They fit perfectly in my Nespresso machine and produce consistent results every time. If you love strong, café-style coffee at home, this is the perfect eco-friendly choice.

Borbone coffee is great coffee. Good taste and aroma if you like strong espresso.

I spotted these on Amazon and after balancing up the price with the great comments I thought I’d take the plunge. However unfortunately I can’t comment on the Caffe Borbone Gold that I ordered having not tried it. For some reason after I ordered the Gold from Amazon they sent me the wrong Coffee and Instead I received the Blue version from the same range. I was not initially impressed by the error, but as I hadn’t tried the blue I thought I’d give it a go. I’ll briefly describe the most important factors: the aroma, body and all important taste. Aroma - When removing the pod from the packaging the aroma was not what I’d expected; quite strong and a smell of being heavily roasted. Having tried Illy on numerous occasions I am used to the sweet caramel notes so this was quite different. After making the coffee using my machine, I noticed a more pleasant smelling coffee, very coffee shopesque like you’d expect. Body - the coffee was dark and rich when brewed with an excellent crema. I have noticed that when using the ESE pods the crema always seems to be more considerable than when ground. Taste - the coffee tastes authentically Italian, not too strong (given the blue is meant to be more mid strength) with a mildly but not to bitter note. I would describe this coffee as more of a dark chocolate with a citrus note. If you are expecting caramel notes or a sweetness you may be better looking elsewhere. This coffee isn’t too strong but after a cup or two you’ll feel awake and ready for the day. Overall

First time I have tried the Black pods. Very nice and very strong.

Excellent compostable coffee pods supplied in recyclable sachets. Taste is important here. I didn't know of this brand before. I recently replaced my kitchen espresso machine with a Delonghi, and it comes with the right attachment for these paper pods. From Napoli, the roast is about right, making an easy drinking espresso. Buying in bulk, 150 units, makes it good value and good sense if you have the space.

Just what I wanted, great tasting coffee.

This time the box was perfectly intact but inside I found all the pods covered in coffee and two pods outside the package.

Swapped to this coffee a couple of years ago from a more expensive brand. The expresso drinkers in my house love the taste and its very good value. Buy boxes regularly, as soon as half way though, I re order.

I love the flavour of the coffee and the convenience of the pod. I use them with a SMEG espresso maker and they work great. I even sometimes take the coffee out of the pod and tamp it down and then make the coffee...which tastes great! It's like my own pre-measured fresh ground freeze dried packet of espresso. Also, once a box came damaged due to poor courier handling and the company replaced it straight away. Arrived within a day of notice. So AMAZING all way round.

Very smooth
