These work ok in my Verismo machine. The only difference is it seems like you have to push down harder on the handle. Otherwise they work ok.

I have a CBTL machine, so I bought the Italian roast for my boyfriend who loves dark coffee. This is his favorite flavor so far and he drinks it black. I think it smells wonderful.

PS- IGNORE THE BAD REVIEWS. MAJORITY OF THEM IS FROM IGNORANT PEOPLE TRYING TO PUT A CBTL POD INTO A STARBUCKS MACHINE.
Basically leaving a poor review on a product because you're not using it properly is plain crummy. Y'all should be ashamed. I bought a CBTL Machine and I use the CBTL pods and guess what they work "wonderfully", imagine that. I don't buy other brands of pods and try to make them fit and then throw a fit when they don't.

These are awesome. I received a Verismo machine as a gift a few years back and I love the machine (way better than the keurig machines I had used before) but my only gripe was that the dang pods were so expensive and the machine didn't take any other brand's pods. Enter these CBTL pods! These aren't super cheap but they're a good bit cheaper than the Starbucks pods and they taste almost as good (the Starbucks pods still taste better but not enough to warrant the additional cost when you're having one every morning). Now if they would only make the milk pods for the latte options. Anyways, these are solid and worth the money at least if you have a Verismo machine like I do. I have this one, the Kona blend and the French Vanilla all on subscriptions.

I had seen a video online that showed these pods worked with the Starbucks Verismo machines so I figured it was worth a shot as I could save some money buying these vs. the Starbucks pods. Sure enough they fit in the machine and produced a great tasting espresso like the Starbucks pods. In fact just as good if not better. I haven't had any issues with the pods getting stuck or anything. Looks like they have a lot of flavor options so I would definitely like to try more.

The CBTL Italian Espresso Dark Pods. Amazing in quality, strength, and taste. I love the quality of the espresso and the crema it leaves when it makes a shot. I will say I did purchase these because they are a tad cheaper than Starbucks Verismo Pods. Do they fit in the Verismo? Yes. However, I will say, I can usually get 2-3 shots of full strength espresso out of the Starbucks to brew for a Latte. It seems after the first shot for the CBTL pods, it gets a little slower and tighter. I wait, but it still comes out perfect. Sometimes, I don't like to wait so I will just use the Starbucks Verismo Pod. However, it is a great pod and excellent in flavor. It might stick in the pod holder, but you just need to nudge it to knock it loose. If you need a cheaper, delicious alternative .... CBTL Italian Espresso Dark Capsules are it!
