I consider myself a Chai connoisseur. I have been enjoying a Tazo Chai Latte nearly every day since 2001. I am very picky and really only enjoy a limited selection of Chai brands. My favorite is Tazo, especially when prepared by a Starbucks barista without water. I was hesitant to purchase the Cafe Escapes Chai Latte k-cups in fear of it not meeting my high expectations; however, at first sip, I was hooked. Although it has a slightly different taste than Tazo, it has a sweet aroma, full of spice with the perfect amount of creaminess. I look forward to drinking this Chai Latte in the afternoon as a treat or pick-me-up. It is the perfect comfort item for me.

Starbucks Latte Primo, T-Discs for Tassimo Coffeemakers, 8 Count Packages (Pack of 2) Review

Starbucks Latte Primo, T-Discs for Tassimo Coffeemakers, 8 Count Packages (Pack of 2)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am very impressed with Starbucks' Latte Primo. I love drinking strong black coffee, and also enjoy coffee drinks. My favorite T-Discs for coffee are Starbucks Caffe Verona and Africa Kitamu. Prior to sampling the Starbucks Latte and Cappuccino, my choice was Gevalia Latte and Cappuccino T-Discs because I found their espresso better (stronger) than Maxwell House's. Those two brands share the same creamers and although they are certainly acceptable, they have a stronger cooked milk flavor compared to Starbuck's.
Starbucks espresso is a great improvement over the Gevalia, and its presence in the Latte is key to my five star rating for the drink. I also prefer the new creamer developed by Starbucks. The creamer does contain a small amount of sugar, and although the reason for its inclusion is unclear, I didn't find the sweetness noticeable. The latte creamer produces a luxurious quantity of creamy decadent foam.

I have attached a picture of the latte while in the process of brewing because sometimes marketing photos don't look like the result obtained in real life. The cup in the pictures holds 8 ounces filled to the brim. The latte has 80 calories, 4 grams of sugar and 5 grams of fat. For me there is no turning back. Once I finish the remaining Gevalia Latte and Cappuccino I have on hand, Starbucks will be the only brand I'll buy.

Nescafe Dolce Gusto for Nescafe Dolce Gusto Brewers, Latte Macchiato, 16-Count Capsules (Pack of 3) Review

If your favorite coffee at Starbucks is the Caramel Macchiato- then you will LOVE this coffee. The price is just over a buck a cup so it's still pricey by home coffee standards, but is such a savings compared to Starbucks prices. Side note- you don't have to follow the directions and make a tiny cup from these servings- I make my portions much larger and just stop the flow when the color runs opaque. Delicious!

Gevalia Latte (8 Servings), 16-Count T-Discs for Tassimo Coffeemakers (Pack of 2) Review

Gevalia Latte (8 Servings), 16-Count T-Discs for Tassimo Coffeemakers (Pack of 2)
Average Reviews:

Each of these packages contain 8 espresso discs and 8 creamer discs. The creamer discs are made from 2% milk and are liquid (unlike some single-serve machines that use a powdered milk). To make a latte, you use the espresso disc first, then follow it with a creamer disc. The milk isn't steamed, as hot water is pumped through it, but it comes out hot and makes an excellent latte.
As a special treat, you can make a latte machiatta using these discs. To do that, and get the cup of coffee you can see in the background in the picture, where the cream and coffee is layered, you do the following steps: Put a clear glass coffee cup in the machine. The tall narrow cups for after-dinner coffees work well; use the creamer disc first; then use the espresso disc. As the espresso is released into the cream, it layers itself over the cream. If you like sweetened coffee, then put either sugar or artificial sweetener in the glass first, add just a little hot water (a couple teaspoons) to dissolve it, maybe a drop of vanilla, then go through the brewing steps. Drinking one of the layered ones is different in that it starts out strong and bold because the espresso is floating on the top, but gets creamier and milder as you drink your way down.
The lattes from this package are smooth and flavorful, and the serving size is good. It's a wonderful dessert coffee, or a coffee when you want to treat yourself.

Maxwell House Cafe Collection Latte (8 Servings), 16-Count T-Discs for Tassimo Coffeemakers (Pack of 2) Review

This produces a consistently good latte, comparable to many coffee house lattes. No bitterness, nice smooth flavor, a tad milder than I like but still very good. Gevalia & Starbucks may have more intense flavor, but this is an excellent choice with a more economical price tag. I like it enough that it's going to be featured on my shopping list regularly, and my husband likes it well enough that I have to jealously guard it!
At about $1 per serving, it's expensive, but its still far cheaper than a trip to the coffee house where the same size would set me back about $5. Even McDonalds' version is about $4 each, so this is still a bargain.
