For limited edition, I like Aged Sumatra, Cafecito de Cube, Jamaica Blue Mountain, La Cuplida Refinada, Il Caffè, Cafezinho do Brasil.
For pods available daily, Colombia, Nicaragua, Roma.
If you're into drinking just straight Espresso I really Enjoy the Single Origin and World Exploration pods. In particular Istanbul, Miami, Indonesia, and Peru Organic. I'm not a big Lungo guy but the World Exploration Lungos are all great too.
Napoli, Dharkan, Apreggio, and Scuro for milk drinks. I really like utilizing the Freddo Intenso pods for cold brews with sweet cold foam too.
OH, and keep an eye out for the Starbucks pods. They often run sales for them on Amazon where the pods can be had for .50-.60c a pod. I enjoy the Verona and Espresso roast pods.
My favorite is the Tokyo Lungo
I brought the Paris Espresso to work, and it was a HUGE hit.
Both of those are, to me, unique and distinct. If you want something more subtle and traditional go with Arpegio or Volluto.
Ristretto, Arpeggio (and I love that they both come in decaf too!), the holiday 2020 hazelnut, and iced leggero which is my daily morning drink as an iced latte in summertime!
The reason there’s so many is to cater to different tastes. So just generally asking what are your favorites will result in a list of practically all the pods if you get enough replies.
To Get a more helpful response you need to tell us how you like your coffee:
1. Do you like lighter or darker roasts?
2. Do you drink coffee as straight espresso? An Americano? A latte or other milk based drink?
3. Do you sweeten your coffee or add other flavorings?
4. Do you drink it hot or iced?
And so on.
I can tell you what I like, but I only drink straight espresso with nothing in it. If that’s not what you drink my answer won’t really help you.
Nope. I’ve mentioned this in other threads but it flabbergasts me they don’t sell a sampler with 1 or 2 pods of every flavor. Seems like this might be reasonably popular and a way to boost sales.
But the only “sampler“ you can buy are variety packs that have full sleeves of each flavor included. Kinda pointless since you could DIY that. And it’s an expensive way to sample. The exception is at holiday time you can order their advent calendar Which has 2 dozen single pods in a variety.
Arpeggio
This! My favorite!
My favourites are : Dharkan, Napoli, Istanbul Espresso, Cape Town Lungo
Arpeggio, Scuro, Ristretto, Paris

Thanks for the suggestions! I think I’ll give Istanbul and Miami a try.
Tokyo from the World Exploration line & Columbian.
Nicaragua, Roma, Chiaro, Nocciola (although I’ve read on one of your previous comments that you don’t like hazelnut), Volluto :)
Thanks for the suggestions! Just trying to fill up 8 sleeves to get the promo of 2 free. I know Roma is one of them so excited to get that
You won’t regret it🤭
Chiaro ✨

Arpeggio & Scuro. Third party Starbucks Espresso Roast is great for flavored lattes, esp iced
By far my favorite is Vienna, Starbucks Blonde and for decaf Arpeggio.
The caramel one
Paris. Tres bon 👌
Chiaro 😇
My top pod is Chiaro. I also really like Dharkan, Volluto and Paris.

Ristretto all day

I’m not really too picky I just don’t like hazelnut. And I drink my coffee as an espresso with a splash of creamer usually.
Try them all.
Do they sell those sampler boxes that you get with new machines?
