Nice balanced flavor

Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2023

Verified Purchase

I am new to the world of espresso. I have been roasting my own coffee beans for years for brewing in my pour-over machine and was very particular about the roast and flavor. I never cared for espresso the first and only time I tried it because it tasted burnt to me. Then, I acquired a cappuccino machine about a month ago. It could use the ESE pods so I searched Amazon for them. I chose a small pack of Borbone Red and a small pack of another brand, mainly because both were a medium roast. I compared the two in my new machine and discovered 2 things.. I still don't care for espresso, but I love cappuccino and latte. Both brands were very good. The other brand was a bit smoother but substantially more expensive. The Borbone is a great everyday coffee and it's affordable. There is no bitterness in this coffee. When I serve it to friends, they always comment on how good it is. Let's just say I liked it well enough to return and buy a big box of 150 pods when I ran out of my initial purchase.

Great Price -perfect every time

Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2014

Verified Purchase

We recently bought the De'Longhi EC155 15 BAR Pump Espresso and Cappuccino Maker . We bought both the red & the blue pods. My husband likes both the red & the blue. He has also become addicted to putting a shot of the red in his regular coffee.

I like the blue, but the red is too strong for me. I'm a recent coffee convert because I had to stop my Rockstar addiction. I like making Lattes with coconut milk & a tsp. of instant milk, which seems to make it froth better. The blue is mild enough for me & is not bitter. I add flavored liquid stevia, especially cherry & raspberry chocolate, to my drinks. I know that makes the purists cringe, but it works for me!

Since we are Costco shoppers, we like to buy in bulk & get quality coffee for a good price. Caffe Borbone fits the bill! We are very pleased with the new "espresso station" in our kitchen.

When we were buying the coffee, we had a very hard time deciding on a flavor & we wished there had been a choice of samplers. There should be a choice of samplers with & without decaf. Samplers with decaf are a WASTE for us - we are drinking coffee for the caffeine & the decaf samples just gather dust!!!

Great Southern Espresso - bold and direct

Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2016

Verified Purchase

No connection to this company. An espresso drinkers who appreciate a good product.

This is a very good Southern Italian style ESE espresso offering excellent value for the price. We have tried all of Bourbon's blends.

THE BLEND
Rosso is a darker roast using all/mostly Robusta beans, delivering a higher caffeine content and a more intense flavor. This is an ideal blend for milk based cappuccinos or lattes. I like it as a "straight up" espresso in the morning and early afternoon. It works well as the basis for an ice coffee - try a shot over ice with a splash of milk. I would not recommend it for after dinner - go for a less caffeinated and smoother Arabica blend. We use different blends for different times of day and occasions. Blend tastes genuinely Southern Italian - bold, uncomplex, darker roasted - but identifiably Italian espresso. Compare to the espresso from Starbucks, et al which taste like charcoal. Terrific for what it is.

THE QUALITY OF THE ESE POD
All of Bourbon's pods have always been fresh and well packed, offering, for an ESE, an even "pull" (the so-called mousetail) with good crema. The box comes with an expiration date and the company will let you know when the beans were roasted, ground, and packed. A few years back, we switched from grinder to ESE to save time and mess. We've never looked back. They're so quick and simple. However, we have had problems with some ESE pods packed too loosely or misshapen or just a little stale. Bourbon ESE pods have always delivered.

THE COMPANY:
Shipping is fast and easy.

Very weak

Verified Purchase

Meanwhile the box was totally destroyed and taped when delivered. Brewed my first pod and it was very weak like pure water. Tried another same thing. Very upset spending money for the convenience of these pods to have brewed hot water with a touch of coffee. I read all the reviews and figured I would give it a try boy was I wrong. Very weak and disappointing.

Good for daily coffee

Reviewed in Canada on March 23, 2019

Verified Purchase

These are my daily brew at the office, which is why the ESE pods are appealing. There is much less waste, and they are biodegradable and planet-friendly.
The quality is sufficient for caffeine input two-three times per day. Compared to my fresh-ground brew at home, these are above average but not enough to distract me from putting in a full day's work.
