We bought our CBTL machine, the Americano (currently sold at BBB and ShopNBC and CBTL stores) around 2 months ago. We could not be more pleased with our purchase. Unlike Keurig it has 2 different pressure settings so you can get a real espresso. It produces excellent espressos. We are primarily coffee drinkers though and I have tried a wide variety. So far all of them have been good with the exception of the Kona which is just too light for my taste. But of all the ones we have tried the Viennese is my favorite.
It is incredibly smooth and non-bitter. I have never had a bitter CBTL but this is the smoothest of the lot. Yet you still get a rich coffee taste and just a hint of sweetness. The French is my second favorite and if you like strong coffee you might like the French better. But this is just a perfectly balanced cup of coffee. I use the 10 ounce setting and it comes out perfect for me. I haven't had a better cup of coffee from any machine and I really don't think I have had one at a coffee shop either. Highly recommended.

Product Description
A Passion for Coffee & Tea Since 1963.
Born and brewed in Southern California since 1963, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf has always been passionate about connecting customers with carefully handcrafted beverage products. Our innovation started with a quest to source the best coffee and tea in the world. In the early 80’s, one of our store managers combined our wonderful espresso with ice, milk and flavoring and mixed it in a blender. Ice-Blended drinks were born resulting in a global sensation.
We have always felt that great people sustain our business. So, we like to pay it forward too by giving back to our supplier’s communities and non-profit organizations. We have supported numerous causes and have happily made contributions to various charities supporting first responders, teachers, and especially the communities where our coffee and tea products are grown as part of our Caring Cup sustainability program. The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, what started as a single café in Santa Monica, is now a global brand with over 1,000 locations while providing exceptional retail products to enjoy at home or office.

Awesome
Great cup of coffee. Normally buy Starbucks when there is a sale. 20 or 30 off. Since I ran out I heard about CBTL working on my Starbucks Verismo so I gave it a try. Well, needless to say I won't be buying Starbucks again. I got French Roast and Kona. Haven't opened Kona yet but the French Roast is excellent.

Real good coffee however, the product was completely open and had all the pods setting in the box it was delivered in. It actually looks like did some open the box because would have to peel back the the area that would keep the box sealed. The epresso and Knoa blend were fine just but the other two boxes of french were.
