The CAFFÈ BORBONE Don Carlo Red Blend sounds like a budget-friendly option if you enjoy strong coffee and use a Lavazza® A Modo Mio® machine. Here’s a breakdown of the pros and cons to help you decide:
Pros:
- Lavazza® A Modo Mio® Compatible: Works with your Lavazza® A Modo Mio® machine for convenient use.
- Red Blend (Likely Strong): “Red Blend” often refers to a blend with a high Robusta content, known for a stronger and bolder taste compared to Arabica-dominant blends.
- Bulk Pack (100 Count): Offers a significant amount of capsules at a potentially lower price per cup compared to smaller packs.
- Compostable Option Available: The Caffè Borbone website offers a compostable version of these capsules.
Cons:
- Limited Description: “Strong” is not explicitly mentioned, but “Red Blend” suggests a bold taste. Reviews might be helpful for a more complete picture of the taste (acidity, bitterness).
- Lavazza® A Modo Mio® Pod System Cost: Generally more expensive per cup compared to using fresh ground coffee.
- Unknown Robusta Content: The exact Robusta percentage is not mentioned. Robusta beans can be more bitter than Arabica beans.
Overall, the CAFFÈ BORBONE Don Carlo Red Blend capsules could be a good option for you if:
- Use a Lavazza® A Modo Mio® machine: These pods are compatible with your machine.
- Enjoy Strong Coffee: You prefer a bold and intense coffee experience.
- On a Budget: The bulk pack offers a potentially lower price per cup.
However, if you:
- Prefer a specific taste profile: More information about the tasting notes would be helpful. Reviews can offer insights on bitterness and acidity.
- Are sensitive to bitterness: Robusta beans can be more bitter than Arabica beans.
- Prefer Arabica beans: If you enjoy a smoother taste profile, Arabica-dominant blends might be better.
Here are some additional things to consider:
- Research Online Reviews: See what other users mention about the taste profile (acidity, bitterness) and strength.
- Alternatives: Explore other Lavazza® A Modo Mio® compatible capsules with bold roast descriptions or dark roast profiles. You might find value packs from other brands that offer similar strong coffee profiles at a potentially lower cost per capsule. Consider refillable pod options for your Lavazza® A Modo Mio® machine if you desire greater control over the coffee (strength, roast), potentially a lower cost per cup, and are even more eco-conscious about single-use capsules. Refillable pods sometimes allow you to experiment with your own preferred coffee beans.

The miscela gold is the closest to the neapolitan espresso as it is creamy, a very good texture coffee and you can taste that is made with arabica in the blend (while blue is more robusta than arabica).
Best pods ever!

i don’t believe the coffee is as compacted as the original brand ones so there is less crema. it tastes more like filtered coffee out of the machine.
this is the red one i purchased, might try the stronger flavour
*update* wife said she liked it at first but didn’t at the end so we moved back to the originals
