Discover Starbucks® Caffè Verona™ Espresso by Nespresso® Coffee Capsules. A seductive blend of Italian coffee beans with depth, soul and sweetness. Dark roast, well-balanced and rich coffee with a dark cocoa texture, these aluminium coffee pods are Nespresso® coffee machine compatible. This is a coffee of one true love, and three names. We created it for a Seattle restaurant in 1975, as Jake's Blend. People loved it so much we began scooping it in our stores as 80/20 Blend, after the recipe. The love was so strong we finally made it official, calling it Verona after the city that inspires so many. All our coffee is 100% ethically sourced in partnership with Conservation International.
