Starbucks by Nespresso Vertuo, French Roast, Dark Roast Coffee, 32-count Coffee Pods, Brews 7.8 oz.

This Starbucks French Roast for Nespresso Is exactly what I would want from a true dark roast—bold, rich flavor with a strong roasted character. This roast definitely leans deeper into that roasted flavor, but without being overly bitter or acidic.My tasting notes for this one - briefly - are that it comes across as dark and hearty, with a roasted grain quality that gives it real depth. It’s not overly smoky, which I actually appreciate, and it finishes clean, smooth, and balanced for a coffee this bold.The price point is great, and having the convenience of a high-quality French roast at home whenever I want it is a huge win. If you like your coffee dark and robust, this one is absolutely worth keeping in the rotation.

I love that my favorite Starbucks dark roast coffee now comes ready to use in my Nesspresso. Coffee maker.

Overall, it is a fantastic, very smooth, rich, chocolatey experience for dark roast coffee lovers. I truly savored the Vertuo Caffe Verona, a coffee that delivers an exceptionally smooth experience from the very first sip. Its richness is beautifully balanced, featuring a subtle hint of bitterness that emerges from the dark roast, seamlessly intertwined with the deep, indulgent notes of smoky dark chocolate. When I add a touch of creamer, it transforms this already delightful drink into a velvety, luxurious treat that tantalizes the palate.As the coffee brews, it produces a light cream atop the surface, which, once the brewing is complete, reveals a layer filled with rich coffee oils. These oils add a sumptuous texture that I can distinctly sense with each sip.Overall, the Vertuo Caffe Verona offers a remarkable experience for dark roast coffee enthusiasts—a wonderfully smooth, rich, and chocolaty journey that is sure to satisfy.

Pretty expensive but I like it a lot.

My favorite taste, but know that it’s a small serving and costly.

If these ever go out of stock, I will spiral. The Sumatra pods hit that perfect sweet spot — bold, smooth, and just a little dramatic (like me before caffeine). They don’t taste watered down like some other pods, and they’ve got that rich, earthy flavor that makes me feel like I brewed something way fancier than I did in my pajamas with bedhead.

My husband loves these flavors

Good and tasty
