CBTL Coffee Capsules By The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, 10 Count Box (Pack of 3)

This is my favorite of the CBTL espresso varieties. Bold with a hint of sweetness. Not harsh at all. If I was going to make one of those foamy drinks (which I'm not) I'd go with their Italian blend. It is stronger and more bitter(more like one from bigbucks, only better)and the flavor would cut through other ingredients. The decaf is also surprisingly good. A flavor leaning towards the Italian blend. I wouldn't have believed espresso this good at the push of a button.

Just what I was looking for. This makes a very smooth espresso with good crema. Consistent shot every time, I was pleasantly surprised at how good the espresso actually is out of the CBTL machine, particularly this flavor. My go-to espresso from now on.

Update: 4/27/12 Original review was of the pods that I bought locally at Target. The ones from Amazon were noticeably more bitter. Also, the top of the pod on the Amazon pods were not as "domed" as the ones I purchased from Target, indicating that maybe a seal had broken or the pods were bad. It's bearable to drink but not nearly the great experience from the ones I got at Target, which I assume were fresher.

This has to be the best 'at home' espresso I have ever had. I love a very strong cup of coffee, and whenever I go to that chain place, you know the one I'm talking about, for coffee I get a regular coffee with a shot of espresso (red-eye?). It costs me an arm and a leg too! Now I can do it at home.

Bold, rich, aromatic and it tastes less acid-y than the other espressos that I've tried...this was an absolute pleasure to drink. I don't even bother with the frother to top my coffee, because the espresso has just enough crema on top to make this an even richer drink.

Yum.

This is my favorite of the CBTL brew capsules. I've had it on Subscribe and Save and even bought extras to fill in between shipments. It is rich and not bitter. I normally add a little flavoring to ANY coffee I'm drinking, whether it's espresso or brewed, and most often it's chocolate or some form such as chocolate flavored stevia. I put a swirl of whipped cream on top and a packet of sugar substitute. With the Viennese Brew, I don't have to add anything but a packet of sugar substitute and a dollop of whipped cream (it tastes so good as is). If you drink it plain you may pick up a VERY slight hint of chocolate, but if you are eating something chocolate along with your coffee, you won't notice the nuance of chocolate at the finish.

This is my favorite flavor out of all the coffee, teas and espressos for the Kaldi. I've tried them all more than a few times each to give them a relatively fair review, but this one tops my list. I do have to admit that I prefer espresso drinks over coffee and teas, so take that into consideration.

The Italian espresso is smooth, bold and full of flavor, but doesn't leave a bitter after-taste. The other two espresso flavors leave a taste in your mouth where it feels like something's missing.

My favorite espresso drink is an iced latte, and this makes the perfect latte. Two shots of the espresso with about 6 ounces of milk makes my perfect drink!

Out of the three caffeinated espressos, the Italian tops the list for flavor, then the Premium and lastly the Continental.
