Full, deep flavor characterizes the Rialto blend. After sampling a dozen or so varieties, I've settled on this one as my favorite pod. Not than anything I've sampled has been bad, but this one stands out. From the time I snip the foil to that last mouthful, the taste is rich and full with just a hint of bitter that balances all the elements to make for an enjoyable cup. |

We missed the bar on the first try, retraced our steps back from the Rialto Bridge and there it was, hidden on a side alley next to one of our favorite restaurants. Hard not to miss, given the aromas enticing you toward it. We too, bought a one of the expresso cups (slightly different from Pod Merchant's) as a gift to one of our Rialto loving friends. Thanks, Kevin, for all you do for us caffe lovers.

Some time ago, when I first discovered PodMerchant, I took advantage of the pod sample assortment packs in search of my personal favorite. After many weeks of samplings and ratings, I settled upon Caffe del Doge Rialto as my pod of choice. CdDR stands up well to steamed milk for lattes and also makes an excellent, robust yet smooth espresso with no burnt taste or bitterness. CdDR by the case is also an outstanding value. Now that PodMerchant is offering PM Stout pods, I'm going to have to try them just to compare with CdDR- it's almost time to reorder anyway. Thank you PodMerchant, for facilitating my "happy habit"! |

Caffe del Doge Rialto may not be the ultimate espresso blend, but it is my unapologetic favorite. The flavor is smoothly delicious with an excellent crema and a very pleasing afterbite. But what makes it particularly special is that every time I drink a cup it evokes the wonderful memories of accidentally stumbling upon the actual Caffe del Doge while wandering the backstreets of Venice with my daughters in the summer of 2007. Having a cup extracted from the mechanical press while standing at the mirror-finish copper bar is an experience that I will never forget. To this day I drink most of my (pod) espresso from my Caffe del Doge demitasse purchased at the store.
