Customer Ratings & Reviews

I got this machine for 50% off during a Best Buy promotional period. It had such great reviews that I decided that for 50% off, why not? I love espresso and was trying to find a more affordable convenient option than Starbucks. This machine does the job as advertised. It makes a very good espresso and the foamer works very well too. Make sure to use a lower fat milk for more froth and to clean it thoroughly after each use. The only thing I can offer on the downside is that you need to be very cautious of emptying the K-cup dispenser. There is no alert for this and by leaving it full you may think there is a problem with the unit. If you leave it backed up with cups, it will not properly function. This may sound like a no brainier but we are human and make mistakes.

In late 2014, I bought the Rivo Keurig. There are three versions of Espresso from Lavazza, all of which are excellent. This is the "darkest" roast version with there being a middle Classico and a lighter Delicato available. Hard to say which one I like the best, all are superb! This one I usually use with 5 parts skim, 1 part lowfast chocolate milk to make a very light mocha latte. Light on the chocolate but heavy on the espresso.

The keurig RIVO single serve coffee maker has a very limited choice when it comes to coffee pods and this is probably the best among those. It's basically a dark roast variety and you get a good coffee as long as you limit yourself to a cappuccino or a latte. I've tried all 4 varieties of pods in the RIVO line up and the classico and intenso are equally good. The delicato is way too light for me.

I love being able to make a delicious latte in my Rivo using the Intenso Expresso Pods. It's a nice strong brew, well rounded, good oils and very fresh, as if I'd ground my own coffee beans. Even at the regular price for a box of 18 pods, it's still way more affordable than buying a latte at a coffee shop.

This is coming an occasional coffee drinker. Great Flavor, not too strong. I have the Classic as well and it is a bit weak when milk is added for a latte or cappuccino. The espresso from the Rivo has a smooth taste without the harsh bitter bite that regular coffee often has. I decided on this machine and pods after drinking coffee/espresso from other countries and enjoyed the taste over traditional American coffee. Wish the price was a bit lower.

About time BB has these in store! We got the machine on base and until recently had to drive to the base to get the Rivo pods. Thank you BB for finally carrying them! Soooo much cheaper than Starbucks, just as good if not better!!

Overall, we like the taste of Lavazza coffee so we didn't mind that it's the only brand offered for this particular machine. If you can buy the refills on sale then it's great but if not then it becomes expensive for at home espresso addicts! Taking all things into consideration, its still less expensive then going to Starbucks to grab an espresso drink.

it makes great espresso! I like strong coffee and this fits the bill. I just hope Keurig makes more varieties and continue to make this. Since the Keurig Rivo works only with this, I sure hope they will continue to make this.

The flavor from these pods is great. Full, rich, maybe a little sweet. Very easy to make a shot and clean up with the Revo. One of the best quality espresso pods available.

Have been using RIVO for a couple years and love it. We are able to make espresso drinks for under $1 per cup versus $5 and up at Starbucks. The Intenso is slightly stronger and gives a nice punch for a Macchiato.

I love these pods that I use in my keurig. They taste awesome. Smooth rich flavor, and so convenient. Tastes like I went to a coffee shop, but I never need to leave my home for excellent cappuccinos!

These small packages pack a lot of flavor. I wish that the Rivo had more flavors, but I definitely prefer this to the Delicato or the Classico. I think it has more caffeine than the other two.

I had my brother in law try a latte and he said it was EXCELLENT! That's coming from a true coffee/espresso expert who is very picky with coffee and has a $1000 espresso maker himself.

Compared with going to Starbucks and forking out $5 per latte, this coffee is s steal. But for home brewing...it's a bit pricey. I love the flavor and will keep en eye out for sales.

This is one of the best latte disks with true European quality as they are Lavazza coffee so I get really genuine lattes and cappachinos.

We absolutely love our new Keurig Rivo. Not only is it easy and quick to use, but the espresso is delicious. Intenso is my husband's favorite and is quite strong. It makes great lattes and cappuccinos because of the bold flavor.

Coffee taste great alone or with milk. I was upset that there is no filter cup for your own coffee with the Rivo brewer but this coffee does taste well and isn't expensive. Its even better than the K-cups bland flavor and even though they are small they make one strong coffee

I purchased these coffee cups and they taste like if I would of purchased from a coffee shop. I would hope Keurig would make more flavors but they are still new.

I have only tried 4 diff flavores of the expresso pods but this one is the best. With coffee I don't really like dark roast that much, but with expresso it is the best tasting. The closest to the Starbucks I used to frequent before getting my new Keurig Rivo!!! A++

with the keurig rivo, there are only 4 available flavors, but this one is my favorite. i do wish they would come out with a flavor that's even darker, however.
