Caffe Borbone 150 ESE Decaf Coffee Pods, with Flavour and Creaminess of Espresso

Great taste..I buy only decaf

My pet peeve with decaf coffee is that, once you can find it, it’s only offered in blah strength. I like dark/French roast/bold. Try to get that in decaf coffee! Well, here it is! I’m new to making home espresso and bought a DeLonghi machine that is versatile and alliws for ESE pods or putting your own coffee in the filter. After trying another brand from Italy (Bristot), I thought I would have to guve up the ESE pod idea because it was so blah. So I bought espresso beans and freshly ground them yesterday and had a delicious bold coffee shop quality cappuccino—but not decaf. Last evening I received these decaffeinated ESE pods to try (the green label). This morning I made two espressos in my beautuful clear double-walled DeLonghi cups. Magnifique! Bellisima! FINALLY a simple way to make a beautiful, delicious, bold—and decaffeinated—espresso. Highly recommend this brand. (I threw out my other ones.)

Probably as good a decaf ESE pod as you are going to get. Not as tightly packed so you will get a bit more liquid than a standard ESE pod. I say: worth it.

Very good taste

The taste is great, however I cannot use it in my Keurig. I use very hot water and let it keep for 15 min.

good

We've been drinking the Lucaffe for years and it is excellent. We tried this because Lucaffe was not available. It is very week and almost flavorless. Now I have 298 pods I can't use :(.

I lived in Italy for three years. Borbone was my daily brand of caffè in the bar, the office, and at home. Taste for these US packaged Deka pods is similar to what I drank in Italy, but as with similar reviews, maybe slightly stale or bitter flavor. But I think still very good for a Deka, even better than many full strength caffè. My biggest fault with this box of pods is with the packaging. In Italy the pods are very tightly packed, more like a hard puck, and the plastic packages are more vacuum sealed. These US packaged pods are much more loosely packed, like for a drip maker, and the plastic packages are puffy with air. I’m not an expert but it could be why the taste is slightly off. It is a little disappointing and the reason I dropped the stars. After all, I’m drinking this caffè because I like the taste, and it isn’t as good as it was. I will try again, hoping that the US packagers will up the quality control. As I said, this has been my favorite Deka for a few years now and even with this disappointment, it is still very good taste and price point compared to others. I do recommend the product.

Vivo en España hace 6 años nunca me acostumbre a tomar café de aquí entonces compro siempre el café aquí y el café Borbone para mí es lo mejor que esiste. Cada vez que tomo el café me aparece de estar todavía en italiano

leckerer Kaffee

Excellent! I have tried several ese pods including illy. These ones are by far the best and the cheapest. Initially, upon opening the package I was disappointed because I didn’t like the smell. However, the taste is divine. Smooth, full bodied. I poke a couple of holes on top of pod using a fork and it helps water run through better while not affecting the easy clean up of the ese pods. Also, I never pull it twice when making an Americano. It’s better to do One shot then add hot water. Hope you like them as much as me!

C'est le meilleur café que je découvre après avoir testé d'autres marques . Fruité , bien équilibré et crémeux du coup je vais rester sur la meme marque pour essayer les autres variétés qu'ils proposent en dosettes ese

Buonissimo!
