Some complain that this coffee is weak, but it reflects well a traditional espresso preparation that does not produce the same Italian ristretto effect, which is what some incorrectly refer to as espresso. It is a genuine espresso and produces a nice, balance coffee
Yes, I recommend this product.

This is so weak its like drinking colored water. I bought 6 of the 16 packs and sorry that I did. I would not buy this again and I certainly would not recommend it to anyone. Stay with the gvalia brand if possible. This was totally a waste of money.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Purchased this espresso after Starbucks was discontinued, the flavor is weak and the espresso is watery. I don't know how they could label this extra bold when it is weaker than regular coffee.
No, I do not recommend this product.

I thought I'd try a different Expresso from the one I usually buy, especially since the label said "Extra Bold," but I was disappointed. It seemed watered down. I even tried using two discs in a cup, and it still lacked the usual bold taste of expresso.

On-Target Review! Carte Noire is not at all bold.
Posted February 17, 2012
Was utterly disappointed at the taste: blah, watery, awful. I returned it immediately. Tried Mastro Lorenzo and found an unbelievably smooth, European-type brew. Wonderful. Sharp contrast to Carte Noire.

My husband and I were so bummed when we heard certain products would be making an exit from Tassimo!! We decided to try different espresso brands and were very pleased to find this one!! I only wish they made cappuccino and latte combo packs. Guess you can't always have it all!! We think this espresso may even be a step up from the others!!
Yes, I recommend this product.

An Alternative

Nespresso sells milk foamers which work really well and are simple to use. We always buy the espresso from Tassimo and then use the nespresso foamer. You can use real milk and have your choice of what type of milk to use. Tastes even better than using the combo packs.

I am a long term professional coffee drinker.
The main reason I bought Tassimo coffee machine was to make my own espresso at home the way I wanted.
From all espresso coffee brands this is the winner. I knew and tried the product in 2005 when I spent time in Monaco and France, even before it was introduced into US.
It is my daily MOMENT OF LUXURY at home to have a really good cup of coffe in the morning before I start my day. Try it!

Not to bad, Slightly watery, but much better than Gevalia. Until I find something better, I guess I will continue to use this brand.
