Score: 83/100
Caffè Borbone Blue Blend
Score: 79/100Rankings
Folgers Classic Roast provides a budget-friendly 72-pod K-Cup solution with reliable medium-roast flavor. The coffee can be a bit bitter and lacks strong aroma. Ideal for high-volume households or offices needing a cost-effective Keurig coffee.
Caffè Borbone Blue Blend capsules provide a medium-dark, full-bodied Italian espresso with chocolate and nutty notes, compatible with all Nespresso Original Line machines. The high Robusta content can be overly bitter for those preferring milder coffees and they are not usable in Vertuo systems. Ideal for espresso lovers seeking a strong, authentic Italian profile.
