Caffè Borbone Gold Coffee Blend Compostable Pod — 150 x 44mm Paper Pods of Rich, Full-Bodied ESE Coffee Pods - Compostable Capsules Compatible with ESE and Pump Espresso Systems

I first tried the Blue blend and then went on to Gold, which I prefer, and is well worth the extra few pennies per cup. I have a couple of pods every day. The coffee is smooth and has a great flavour and crema. I'm on my 3rd box, and I will continue to buy. The pods have been very reliable, and go into our food recycling bin. The wrappers go into our foil recycling.

Benefits from a gentle squeeze from the sides to break up the granules, otherwise the brew can be a little weak.

this is amazing coffee and would recommend the gold pods. i had family from Naples and they are so particular about their coffee for espresso,but they loved the flavour, aroma , taste and strength. I have tried other colours in the range but still feel the gold is the best. they come in 2 sizes boxes of 50 or 100

I spotted these on Amazon and after balancing up the price with the great comments I thought I’d take the plunge. However unfortunately I can’t comment on the Caffe Borbone Gold that I ordered having not tried it. For some reason after I ordered the Gold from Amazon they sent me the wrong Coffee and Instead I received the Blue version from the same range. I was not initially impressed by the error, but as I hadn’t tried the blue I thought I’d give it a go. I’ll briefly describe the most important factors: the aroma, body and all important taste. Aroma - When removing the pod from the packaging the aroma was not what I’d expected; quite strong and a smell of being heavily roasted. Having tried Illy on numerous occasions I am used to the sweet caramel notes so this was quite different. After making the coffee using my machine, I noticed a more pleasant smelling coffee, very coffee shopesque like you’d expect. Body - the coffee was dark and rich when brewed with an excellent crema. I have noticed that when using the ESE pods the crema always seems to be more considerable than when ground. Taste - the coffee tastes authentically Italian, not too strong (given the blue is meant to be more mid strength) with a mildly but not to bitter note. I would describe this coffee as more of a dark chocolate with a citrus note. If you are expecting caramel notes or a sweetness you may be better looking elsewhere. This coffee isn’t too strong but after a cup or two you’ll feel awake and ready for the day. Overall

I’ll keep it simple. The coffee is good, the price is good, and the quantity, exactly what i’ve been loking for!

I am glad I found those in here and the good reviews made me buy it and won't regret it.My husband loves it the taste and smell, .Will be buying again .

I tried the Gold and now the Blue blends and they are both great coffee. I would prefer the Blue blend if drank as espresso, rich full- bodied flavour but with no bitterness aftertaste (I drink it without sugar). Real Neapolitan coffee. Looking at previous reviews, I decided to count the pods in the box, all ok, they were 150, no one more no one less.
