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.


Our Signature is Flavor Our legacy is great taste. What started with excellent coffee, led to fantastic teas and delicious complimentary products like our incredibly popular signature flavoring powders. Every product we develop begins with flavor in mind.	Directly Sourced. Expertly Roasted Coffees. Since our start, directly source world’s best beans. They are expertly roasted in small batches to bring out the unique flavor profiles of each coffee. We also have several inviting blends, perfected over decades, that keep our customers coming back for more.	Exceptional Hand-Plucked Teas Our teas are also sourced directly from family-run farms around the world. Our tea partners hand pick the top two leaves and a bud for most of our products. And we only use whole leaves and use larger pyramid shaped tea bags for optimal flavor extraction.

Perfect, works on Starbucks Verismo 600 machine

Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2016

Flavor Name: Italian EspressoSize: 16 Count (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

Excellent flavor. It tastes exactly as the Starbucks Verismo Expresso ones (for Latte). I am a coffee lover and side by side they are similar. The pods size is identical the Verismo ones. They DO NOT get stuck on the machine, just follow this tip: Wait at least 10 seconds after the coffee is done, so the pressure applied by the machine while brewing is released. Finally just open the level slowly and they will fall 100% of the times to the container. Even with he original pods, if you open the level quickly they will get stuck. There is a plastic filter inside the CBTL cups, but the Verismo 600 can make the holes without any problems. I always do a quick motion, to close it to be sure the pods are punctured good enough (Verismo and CBTL), BE SURE to push the Expresso Button, not the Brewing one at the Verismo machine. Finally remember to open slowly so they do not bounce and get stuck. You won't have ANY trouble at all, trust me. They are less expensive and probably the ONLY other brand with pods compatible (K-FEE) with the exclusive Verismo 600 machine. A package costs almost the same as the Verismo pods, but instead of 12 you get 16 with CBTL. More value for the money.

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 :)

Caused My Keurig's Retirement

Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2015

Flavor Name: Italian EspressoSize: 16 Count (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

My coffee profile for reference: Male dark coffee drinker, no sugar. Black or a little non-dairy liquid creamer is my preference. Cow milk allergy means I don't drink latte's, cappuccinos, espressos or anything except 'coffee'. I prefer to sip a big cup American-style over the tiny European-style.

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 :-)

Trying to find a decaf expresso pod that would fit a Ninja coffee machine. Very hard to find decaf expresso, especially at a reasonable price. It did not fit, but all was not lost. I opened the capsule and poured the coffee into my reusable pod. It is very good decaf expresso. I gave it 5 stars on flavor. Wish I could buy it as just ground coffee.

NOT for Verismo Machine; save your money

Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2016

Flavor Name: Italian EspressoSize: 16 Count (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

These pods do not work in the Verismo machine. My first pod attempt got stuck in the machine. My second pod burst and the water barely trickled through it; and I also heard a strange noise from my machine. I took the pod apart out of curiosity. This malfunction is likely due to a hard plastic insert at the bottom end (not the foil covered top) of the CBTL pod. Verismo pods do not have this insert. Or, it could be the plastic casing is especially hard. At any rate, it would have been too much trouble to return them, so I improvised. I cut off the bottom end, including the hard plastic insert. I then cut a used Verismo pod in 1/2 and placed that bottom 1/2 over the CBTL bottom. If you cut the pods each to the correct size (creating a new pod the same length as a Verismo pod), it will work; but I don't see it as a practical resolution. I won't buy them again for my Verismo. In all likelihood, continued use of these with the Verismo would ruin the machine. The coffee did have a very good flavor.

Best FLAVOR for my Verismo! And YES it fits!

Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2020

Flavor Name: Italian EspressoSize: 16 Count (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

Honest review- this is my second time buying these! I just bought them in bulk- 5 packages.
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!

We ordered this to offer our guests decaf at a party we had. We have a Verismo machine and thought we would make individual decaf cups while serving a pot of caffeinated. Everyone loved this coffee so much, even the caffeinated coffee drinkers wanted some. Great flavor with froth on the top. One guest has a 5 thousand dollar coffee machine at home and he loved this coffee made in our Starbucks (Goodwill find) machine with these pods. Thanks for offering decaf! Please consider offering chai and hot chocolate!

I really like the taste of CBTL Expresso

Flavor Name: Italian EspressoSize: 16 Count (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

I really like the taste of CBTL Expresso. I like the strength of it without a bitter taste. I discovered my favorite way to enjoy this expresso. I put a small amount of cream and canned coconut milk in the bottom of my coffee cup then heat in microwave for 15 sec. Then draw my expresso into my cup and enough water to fill it. Yum just perfect. Makes great iced expresso also!

VERISMO USERS PLEASE READ!

Flavor Name: Premium EspressoSize: 16 Count (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

OK, I gave this 5 stars because CBTL coffee is really good. But I bought this for use in my Verismo machine and because these espresso pods have two filters the Verismo can barely press the brew out and on time it shut my machine down.... now having said that the CBTL regular coffee pods do work but these pods were just to much for the Verismo. You have been warned. :)
