Caffè Borbone Espresso ESE Pods Miscela Blu — 50 Count Dark Roast, Thick Crema

Caffè Borbone Miscela Blu espresso pods deliver 50 single-dose ESE portions of dark-roasted coffee crafted for rich flavor and a thick, lingering crema.

These 44mm ESE (Easy Serving Espresso) paper pods from Caffè Borbone pack 7 g of ground coffee per pod and are blended from select Arabica and Robusta beans sourced across South America, Africa and Asia. The Miscela Blu (Blue Blend) is roasted darker to emphasize chocolate and roasted-nut notes while preserving a full-bodied mouthfeel, making it suited to traditional stovetop and pod-compatible espresso machines.

What flavor profile can I expect from Miscela Blu?

Expect an assertive dark roast with pronounced cocoa-like warmth and toasted nut undertones. The Robusta content adds depth and crema, while Arabica contributes aromatic balance and subtle acidity.

• Dark roast emphasis: bold and full-bodied
• Tasting notes: chocolate, roasted nuts, mild caramel
• Texture: dense body with persistent crema
• Bean origins: blended from South America, Africa, Asia

How do these ESE pods work in my espresso maker?

Each pod measures 44 mm and contains 7 g of coffee, made for machines that accept standard ESE pods. They insert like a single-use coffee disc and extract quickly to produce a concentrated espresso shot without dosing or tamping.

• Compatibility: designed for ESE-compatible espresso machines
• Portioning: pre-measured 7 g per pod for consistent shots
• Preparation: fast extraction, minimal cleanup
• Result: espresso with thick crema and concentrated flavor

Are these pods eco-friendly and what should I know about disposal?

The paper pod itself is compostable, making it a lower-waste option than many plastic capsules; however, the outer foil wrapper included in the retail pack is not compostable. For best results, remove the wrapper before composting the pod and follow local composting guidelines.

• Pod material: compostable paper pod (inner filter)
• Outer packaging: foil/plastic wrapper is not compostable
• Disposal tip: separate and compost pod where facilities accept paper-coffee waste
• Eco note: easier clean-up than loose grounds

How many shots will one box give and what’s the serving size?

This box contains 50 individual pods—each pod is a single espresso portion—so you’ll get fifty single shots. Use each pod for one standard espresso or combine two for a stronger doppio, depending on taste.

• Count: 50 pods per box
• Single serving: 7 g of coffee per pod
• Options: single shot or double up for a stronger brew
• Storage: keep in a cool, dry place to preserve aroma

Who is this for? Caffè Borbone Miscela Blu ESE pods suit home baristas and small offices that prefer the convenience and consistency of pre-portioned espresso. If you enjoy a bold, dark-roasted cup with a pronounced crema and want quick extraction without grinding or tamping, these pods offer a straightforward way to recreate classic Italian espresso at home. They’re also a practical choice for anyone with an ESE-compatible machine seeking reliable daily servings and easier cleanup. Note: outer wrapper should be separated for composting the paper pod.
