Product Description
A Passion for Coffee & Tea Since 1963.
Born and brewed in Southern California since 1963, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf has always been passionate about connecting customers with carefully handcrafted beverage products. Our innovation started with a quest to source the best coffee and tea in the world. In the early 80’s, one of our store managers combined our wonderful espresso with ice, milk and flavoring and mixed it in a blender. Ice-Blended drinks were born resulting in a global sensation.
We have always felt that great people sustain our business. So, we like to pay it forward too by giving back to our supplier’s communities and non-profit organizations. We have supported numerous causes and have happily made contributions to various charities supporting first responders, teachers, and especially the communities where our coffee and tea products are grown as part of our Caring Cup sustainability program. The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, what started as a single café in Santa Monica, is now a global brand with over 1,000 locations while providing exceptional retail products to enjoy at home or office.

Also warranty WON'T be voided, because in the very same Verismo 600 manual says, compatible with other K-fee pods too, so it is all good. Verismo and CBTL are the only K-fee pods in the market, so they work.
Thanks and enjoy great coffee :)
Machines: I have both CBTL and Keurig single-server brewers. The Keurig is a superior machine in most ways except size and heating time. However, my Keurig has been stored away since I discovered this flavor (Italian Espresso Dark). In my side-by-side tests, the CBTL flavors are usually only slightly better than Keurig flavors.
Italian Espresso Dark Capsule: This is unlike any coffee that I've ever had. It is thick, a little foamy, and very complex in flavor. It is strong even though I usually use the "coffee" size buttons on the machine so that I can enjoy it for a while (the small espresso sizes are good for fast jolt of caffeine). An important thing to me is to add a bit of International Delight "Hershey's Chocolate & Caramel" creamer for more complexity and to tone down the bitterness.
Wife's Opinion: She does not prefer dark coffee and her normal preference is a weak cup of Nescafe with LOTS of dairy milk. She has also become crazy about the Italian Espress Dark + International Delight Hershey's combination...rarely drinks the Nescafe anymore. Basically, it's the only coffee drink we agree on :-)
They do help save your money versus buying the more expensive pods out there and honestly, they taste INCREDIBLE!! I get a good amount of crema on top? Is that what you call it? Haha?!
But, I tried to save extra money buy refilling the pods prior with other espresso and it just doesn’t beat this taste.
I use this in my new version Verismo machine.
It fits perfectly, every once in a blue moon it will get stuck in the compartment but all you have to do is just kind of push the handle down hard and open it back up forcefully and the pod will fall through into the holder. I have not had to use a knife to pry it out like other reviewers.
I personally make Carmel macchiatos (hot and cold) at home and I’ve tried several different brands of pods and NOTHING will beat this flavor!
Do not hesitate, it is absolutely worth it!

Will be a repeat buyer. My only gripe is that a 16 count is the largest size it appears to come in.
