This review is from: Gevalia Dark Italian Roast, 12-Count T-Discs for Tassimo Coffeemakers (Pack of 2) (Grocery)
I will admit I am a Starbucks junky. My favorite coffee in t-disk was the Cafe Verona. I think that Kraft blew it big time in their dust up with Starbucks and the loss of that coffee provider hit them pretty hard. I don't see ads for Tassimo makers like I used to here at the holidays. I just see the ads and info for Keurig, specially since Keurig now appears to be offering Starbucks in their line up. So, before totally giving up on the Tassimo (and I still have the first generation model, not the Bosch model), I thought I would wait and try the substitutes offered up by Gevalia. I have tried the Italian Roast, finally.

The pros:
It is not too bad. It does not fool you into thinking you are drinking Verona, BUT, it beats anything else that is available thus far. It is more flavorful that the Maxwell House French Roast. I did notice that it only offers a 6 oz fill - the disk resemebles the Starbucks size disk, but there is no pause when you press the button (for... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Sbux? ... Far From Reality, November 18, 2011
This review is from: Gevalia Dark Italian Roast, 12-Count T-Discs for Tassimo Coffeemakers (Pack of 2) (Grocery)
My favorite joe for the Tassimo is still the Cafe Verona (as I stocked up as soon as it was being cut from Tassimo) as well as the Kitamu. I actually had a cup of Verona this morning on my way to work and a 2nd one at work. When I got back home my shipment of new offerings from Tassimo had arrived. As I opened the box the first thing I saw on the new fancy wrapper is a T-disck shape with 'If you like Starbucks Verona try this!*' I actually laughed but yet I was still full of hope for a true copy cat match that would satisfy my Verona cravings.

1st Cup Review:
I am drinking it exactly as I fix my Verona cups; which is with little sugar and a touch of 'Le Creme' creamer. You can tell right away that the arabica beans used in this coffee are from a very different region that the marvelous mix used in the Verona. However, I am not saying that the coffee itself is bad, but it is far from what the Verona is. As an auto analogy, the Nissan 370 can be almost as fast as a... Read more

Out of all the blends for the Tassimo, this is one of my favorite that produces at least 6 oz of a dark brew that isn't consumed in two gulps. ...(my favorite taste-wise is still the pricey, but short sized Maestro Lorenza Crema..... Mastro Lorenzo Crema Coffee, T-Discs for Tassimo Coffeemakers, 16-Count Packages (Pack of 2)).

The price here isn't bad, but I've been getting this at Bed,Bath& Beyond and using my $5 off coupon for two packages, so it works out to about $5.35 per pack. One tip on using these disks.....I find that if you press the start button and then stop it right after the water starts to flow through the disk (i.e., press the start/stop button after the grounds get wet to stop the brewing process and allow the grounds to steep in the water for a few seconds), and then reset the device (i.e., open the claw and...
