Verismo™ Espresso Roast Espresso Pods

The heart of our espresso beverages. A darker-roasted blend with a rich aroma and a hint of caramel.

I use the Verismo every day, it is easy and convenient to make a cup of coffee. It is difficult to find filters and supplies for the Verismo . I would like Starbucks to make Verismo tea cups.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Finally getting the hang of making an Americano. Not much for the latte. Mocha is just okay. Biggest void is the lack of selection for the decaf user.

The Expresso roast pods are the best pods for the Verismo in my opinion . But the Verismo selection needs improvement. The milk pods are just horrible and the minimal variety of expresso/coffee for the Verismo is problematic. Lastly, our local Starbuck stores carry a significant stock of Keurig based SB pods, yet NO Verismo pods. SB, are your trying to say something about your Verismo system?
Yes, I recommend this product.

The espresso ad milk just makes my morning. Can't do without it! The milk is smooth and hot and with a head on it. The shot of espresso follows and once it's mixed together-oh yeah.

I use Verismo Espresso Roast with fresh milk from a milk frother and the taste is just like going to Starbucks. The best part is I can control the amount of sugar added. Sometimes I use a Starbucks syrup. I had originally used the Verismo milk pods but they tasted like cardboard.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This is my coffee of choice for a morning Americano. I use one shot first then a second pod on full cup to make a warming rich Americano that I cannot get from a store. The flavors are full, nutty and not at all bitter for a great start to my day. This is the main reason I bought the Verismo system.
I am not affiliated with Starbucks in any way.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I love espresso and having worked at Starbucks, I'm really biased. This stuff is awesome! I can have my favorite drinks at home for a fraction of the price. I only wish they came in bigger quantities!

Verismo is Magnifico: Quality = 5; pods hard to get without ordering = 3

I would rate it 5, but the pods have been hard to come by without ordering...so this lowered my rating.
I love, love, love my new Verismo, and I highly recommend. I have the smaller version machine. Espresso quality is equal that of a Starbucks handcrafted espresso / latte drink. I have my machine at work and I can't believe how simple and quick making a latte is now....and it's tastes WONDERFUL!
But, it's extremely difficult to get the espresso pods at a Starbucks store. Most Starbucks don't carry them and the ones that do don't keep them well stocked (or underestimate the demand for in-store purchase)...and I live in Seattle. Pods can be ordered online, but I'd really prefer just popping into a starbucks and purchasing directly like when I run out of coffee beans). BETTER YET...why are the pods not available at the grocery store like the regular coffee is!!!!
