Starbucks by Nespresso Vertuo, Veranda Blend, Blonde Roast Coffee, 32-count Coffee Pods, Brews 7.8 oz.

It’s great to be able to buy these in Australia.

My favorite Nespresso pod! Light, aromatic, great flavor, not bitter. The froth/foam is just right. Perfect for your morning or afternoon coffee break!

Smooth, balanced flavor. Great for an easy morning cup.

Pike Place Roast has quickly become one of my favorite Starbucks options to brew at home. It hits a really pleasant balance—rich and full without being too bold or too light. Right away, I noticed a distinct toasted grain note, which gives it a warm, approachable character. The mouthfeel is velvety and satisfying, with a smooth, full-bodied quality that reminded me of high-end Puerto Rican coffee. It’s not the most complex roast, but it’s consistent, comforting, and solid—perfect for everyday drinking. Also worth noting: the Nespresso version is far superior to the Keurig one I tried the day before. The flavor here is fuller and more refined, and it’s become a dependable daily brew in my rotation. Great value, great cup!

I love the rich smooth light flavor. I really have enjoyed the blonde roast as it’s consistently good. Though it’s a guilty pleasure due to the cost, it’s so convenient to pop one in and brew. More often than not, I haven’t needed to add sweetener or creamer. It’s super easy to use, too. Overall, I recommend giving it a try, it’s the only coffee we buy right now.
