Let's Talk Coffee: Starbucks Verismo 580 Brewer Review and GIVEAWAY!

My morning coffee takes me to my happy place.
So does my mid morning, afternoon, and evening cup!
With all that coffee I drink, it is hard to believe it has taken this long for the
Starbucks Verismo 580 Brewer to find its way to my house.
Yep. I was a hold out...But no longer!
Thanks to Staples, this gorgeous brewer has a permanent place in my home.

Why had I not purchased one of these machines before?
Well, I don't have a good answer...
But after sharing quite a few mornings with this beauty, I am happy to report my


First things first...
How does the taste of the single serve brewer match up to a pot of brewed coffee?
The Verismo offers pods for my favorite (and regular) coffee, Caffe Verona, which made comparing tastes very easy. The taste of the Caffe Verona from the Verismo didn't miss a beat...it was delicious. It was perfect!

The Verismo also has the capabilities of making Espresso and steamed milk! This sweet little machine made everyone in my family happy...but especially me.

Now, the true test...how easy is it to use?
I like to begin my morning with a great cup of coffee...
and best yet I hardly have to think...
because, lets face it I cannot function until I have that cup of coffee! 
Well to prove to you how easy this Verismo is to operate...here is all you need to do:
  • Fill the tank with water
  • Insert the pod of your choice (after removing the freshness seal on the bottom of the pod)
  • Position you cup: there is even a height adjustable drip tray for different size cups!
  • Select you brew type: Espresso, Brewed Coffee or Milk (for Caffe Verona, I selected Brewed Coffee).
  • Watch the magic happen, in just about 15 seconds!
  • Enjoy!

The clean up is easy too - there is a built in pod receptacle. Just remove the pods after every use or when it is full.

The rinse feature of the machine might be one of my favorites - no messy clean up! It is quick and clean and ready to go.

  1. I have been following along lately on all these different coffee makers since we have a vintage building getting redone and it will need an easy upkeep brewer. This brand is a new one for me to read about, but since I anxiously wait for pumpkin spice season, there is probably a way to knock one off before then!
