Starbucks Caffe Verona Coffee Review


[spoiler title=’Click here to read the transcript.’ style=’default’ collapse_link=’true’] hey welcome to coffee coffee coffee your place for average Joe coffee reviews today’s coffee is neither a Capulet or Montague so today we are reviewing Starbucks caffe Verona I think it’s caf-f-fe yeah it does have 2 Fs yes Verona and it’s a dark roast it’s supposed to be roasty sweet and dark cocoa right yeah so Starbucks for us is kind of hit or miss yeah really morning Joe is the only one that we were like good stuff yeah we like this coffee but yeah overall it’s just you know not not my favorite I mean and a lot of people have said that in the comment section like yeah Starbucks was kind of like bitter or just not that good which is interesting because I do like an occasional Starbucks like to go pick one up yeah but we get them differently if you go to Starbucks it you know you’re not getting a black coffee or whatever that is true I’ll take a breve latte please it is – yes espresso and so it is different but anyway you do get rewards which we never redeem which we should but 50 cents off a bag of coffee that you don’t really enjoy so you know so anyway how much did we pay for this 6 49 at Walmart right physical Walmart not Walmart.com I think you can get it at Walmart.com for $6.99 same size bags so certainly cheaper than what we pay normally at Publix I really didn’t realize how much we were paying for coffee at Publix until we started going at Walmart when we started RVing it’s like we’re constantly at Walmart so then you grab coffee while you’re there yeah and it’s much cheaper that way so let’s give it a swiggety swiggety so Verona is Italian and we’re also at Venice Beach in Florida not in Italy unfortunately but still Venice Beach Florida is beautiful beautiful it’s ten minutes to 7:00 in the morning that’s why it’s so deserted calm yeah and beautiful okay so so this coffee to me at like the first time we drank it was bitter like like ridiculously bitter tasting for whatever reason but what I have noticed with other Starbucks too- is it seems like the first thing we drink of it is like powerful tasting but then if you let it mellow for a few days it kind of loses some of that bitterness right or whatever it kind of has to air out maybe I don’t know but it seems to make it taste a bit better that’s what I think certainly drinking this now compared to was it two or three days ago a drink our first bit of it yeah then I was like I don’t want to drink this I really didn’t even want to drink the whole cup I mean it was that kind of like oh yeah this is not now it’s better so I mean so I would say you know if you’re gonna try this one kind of give it a few days to air out if you don’t like it at first yeah but you could open your bag up and spread all the coffee grounds out on the countertop I’m just kidding don’t do that but just we opened the bag and of course we had two or three cups each out of there prior to the review right now and this is the best that it has tasted yeah I think but still there is a bitterness there that I don’t really enjoy I’m not getting any of the sweet I’m not getting roasty sweet and dark cocoa roasty I mean maybe well maybe roasty but yeah roasted almost too much like because it’s almost like almost like burnt tasting over roasted I don’t know that’s not the term but yeah I don’t know I was I was thinking I kind of tasted some nuttiness but maybe just a tiny little bit I think it’s more cocoa-y I kind of gotta get the cocoa but I don’t really get the the sweetness they’re talking about mm-hmm so overall that’s like okay yeah I would say it’s like a doughnut rating well after you let it go for like when we first drank it I might have been down at like a two and a half yeah but now it may have come up a full doughnut I don’t know maybe maybe yeah I was gonna say three and a half with this one I yeah but yeah yeah yeah yeah because that’s not so bad $10 a bag or whatever you have to pay for your starbucks coffee you know if you’re paying a premium for it then I would say yeah I would say yeah yeah three and a half I would have been a lot lower the first day I would have been a two and a half yeah this might be a coffee that if you have a friend who says that they have to drink Starbucks because it’s you know like on that movie return to me when the lady in the restaurant said I have to have this kind of water and this and this this and then Minnie Driver goes and fills it up with tap water and then she’s like oh this is so amazing if you have to if you have a friend like that who has to have Starbucks coffee this could be one right yeah just open it up a couple of days before hand if you can’t find morning Joe if you can find morning joe then just drink that one good yeah Cafe Verona does sound more sophisticated it really does but anyway if you’ve had this cafe Verona please let us know what you thought about it in the comments below our faces on the screen or on your phone or wherever and any other Starbucks this one was recommended to us unfortunately I can’t remember who it was on YouTube that said to try it but I will find that and pop it up on the screen yes and thank them for that because after all it was a three and a half that’s what we said right so let us know what you thought about it or if you plan on getting it and thanks for joining us here at Venice Beach and until next time keep grindin [/spoiler]
