From the black, red, blue, and yellow packages.** A: Red - Red blend is recommended for those who love their espresso bold. This blend has a higher Robusta composition for dense aroma and body.Gold - Selected qualities of precious Arabica beans for a delicate taste and unmistakable aroma. Mild, smooth and refined. Less caffeine with tones of sugar, fruit and berries. Delicious as an after dinner coffee.Blue - For the coffee lover who enjoys the quality of Arabica but also a small intense note of extraordinary, this coffee has a smooth, refined flavor with hints of chocolate, perfect for the true coffee connoisseurs.Black - Blend of Blue & Red **Q: can you use these pods with a senseo machine?** A: These are for machines that use the ESE pods. They are designed to be used under pressure with boiling water in an espresso machine, not in a drip coffee with hot water. I don't think they'll fit and I don't think the water will flow through as designed without the pressure. **Q: Does this work on the Keuring Rivo Machine?** A: Caffe Borbone are ESE Pods, not K-Cups or anything made specifically for the Rivo. Here's a link to Keurig Rivo FAQs that definitively answers your question:http://www.keurig.com/mobile/customerservice/customerServiceDetail.aspx?itemID={BD1E694F-C9FD-4C72-BBF1-85F754C4358C}§ionID=90a040bd-88af-4b3f-8ce7-a344c9f6b78e **Q: Does it work with nexpresso** A: I think it wouldn't work with nexpresso, though I don't own one. I believe nexpresso works with a cup-kind of pod, this is just a little pillow, more like a tea-bag than a cup. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My kind of coffee *by C***. on 15 May 2026* Love these pods great taste and quality ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice and strong *by T***Y on 7 May 2026* Great coffee. If you like strong coffee ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Caffè Borbone Compostable Pods (Blue Blend) *by J***K on 12 May 2025* Suprisingly decent coffee for the price. Compared to some other ESE coffee pod brands, this one is one of the cheapest, which had me worried it was going to be bad quality. But I was proved wrong and the pods are generally quite nice. This review is for the blue blend, which is fairly strong and bitter, but I do use sugar free coffee syrups, so the drink is more palatable for me. I like the box size, and each pod comes wrapped in a paper & foil packet. I started using the coffee pods mainly because they are compostable, and are less messy compared to loose ground for example. I think I will try some of the other blends of this brand now! ## Frequently Bought Together - Caffe Borbone Espresso Paper Pods, Blue Blend, Balanced and Full-Bodied, Medium Roast ESE Pods, Authentic Italian Espresso - 50 Count - illy E.S.E.
