Does the Verismo only take Starbucks pods
928184
I was successfully using Caffitaly pods until today -- when I jammed my machine. It's now completely unusable. I'll be buying another Verismo machine, and I'll only use Starbucks pods from this point on.

I see that others have already answered, but I did want to put in my opinion, for what it's worth! I love this machine. I have a Keurig at work and we have one that sits in the garage, unused. I like full bodied coffee and I feel the Keurig, for me, doesn't fit the bill. It's fine for that second cup when I get to work, but the Verismo makes espresso and regular coffee, depending on the pods. It makes coffee that tastes as good, or better, than my very expensive Saeco espresso machine. I know Keurig is all the thing now, but I feel the coffee can be weak and tasteless. Just my opinion! I've had my Verismo for a year now and I still sing its praises! I see that others have already answered, but I did want to put in my opinion, for what it's worth! I love this machine.

It only takes pods with a Kuerig symbol. This did not have the symbol and was rejected them. Only buy items so marked.

Yep, sure does! Also make sure to order the pods from the company; they're a lot cheaper than what is being sold here on Amazon!

No. I suspect one reason Nespresso released this machine is they lost a patent on their standard pods. The Vertuoline being a brand new machine, I'd expect Nespresso to be the sole supplier for some time. Despite that, the Vertuoline is a very nice coffeemaker, and makes a great cup of coffee.

I have not used anything except the Dolce Gusto pods. The pods are so small I do not want it to run over so I stick to the pods that were designed for the machine.

I am not sure what you man by "regular cup of coffee" as this could mean different things to different people I suppose. The Nepresso pods and Citiz machine are geared toward making strictly espresso and or latte beverages. So if I understand you correctly then my answer would be "no" you cannot. This is, presumably, the reason why Nespresso has developed their new system Vertuoline which does that but uses a different type of pod than the previous models.

I don't do lattes on my Verismo because I don't like their milk pods. They are 2 percent powered milk. You could make iced expresso and add your own milk. I don't think Verismo saves money on anything.

No I only use the pods on my Nescafe Dolce Gusto DeLonghi machine. Sorry I can't help you.

I just went on to the Costco website, and they sell 70 pods for $29.99 that are compatible with the Dolce Gusto machine. They are called, Spresso Luxe.

Actually your statement is false about having to buy pods. Presto makes a refillable coffee holder for the Senseo machine. I have one of the presto coffee holders and it works great when I want to use my Blue Mountain or Kona fresh ground coffee beans. The model # for the presto refillable coffee holder is 09402 and it comes with 100 filters that go on the bottom of the pod holder and it cost's about $10.00.

I think only the Dolce Gusto pods fit on it. I've never used other. Otherwise, Dolce Gusto have a great selection. Enjoy!!!

I think the coffee temperature is fine, no worse than other machines. My problem with it is Starbucks is not actively supporting the machine. The coffee packets are custom sizes exclusive to the Versimo machine, and not compatiable to the normal K cups, which Starbucks and many others support. Most Starbucks stores or Costco or supermarkets in our area do not even carry the coffee packets, making the machine virtually useless.Get a Kurieg Branded machine ...... You will be much better off.

I'm sorry you cannot. Most machines have their very own custom pod. Go to the website to get the best selection in coffee. I absolutely LOVE this machine and the coffee variations, especially the price! Makes coffee the way they do in Italy.

If you are referring the the Starbucks Verismo cups, then no, those only work with the Verismo. Starbucks does also make K cups that work with this brewer.
