    This one surprised me a bit. Its a pretty good cup of coffee. Its pretty balanced, with chocolate forward. The mouthfeel is good despite a weaker crema than some Nespresso extractions. Its balanced but not complex. It has a pleasant earthiness. Ive prefer this over the smattering of Nespresso capsules and a Cafe Royal Switzerland lungo I have so I feel like I have to give it a 4/5!

    Cupping Method:Nespresso machine. I purchases this at an Indian grocer in the Latin quarter. The grocer said Indians liked it because it reminds them of the coffee they get there.

More Details

Roast Level: Dark
Dark roast coffee features a more intense, robust flavor profile due to its longer roasting time. Therefore, when selecting a dark roast, expect less acidity, a full body, and flavors like dark chocolate, smokiness, and a hint of bitterness.
Bean Source Country: India
India is a huge country with diverse growing regions, such as Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu, each offering unique flavor profiles due to varied elevations, microclimates, and soil types. These coffees often exhibit low acidity, full body, and a range of flavors, including spicy, earthy, and chocolatey notes. These characteristics made Indian coffee sought after for blends, but the specialty coffee world is increasingly discovering the terroir of varied Indian lots.
Bean Source Region: Malabar
Monsoon Malabar coffee, hailing from India, undergoes a unique natural processing method. Exposed to the country's annual monsoon moisture for approximately 3 to 4 months, the raw beans mature to have diminished acidity and adopt a distinctive earthy taste. The name comes from the coffee's origin of the Malabar Coast of Karnataka and Kerala, where it has protected status.
Espresso
Espresso is a concentrated coffee beverage brewed by forcing hot water through finely-ground coffee beans under high pressure. It is characterized by its rich flavor and distinctive crema—the creamy layer that forms on top of the extracted process. When evaluating espresso, coffee experts often focus on key tasting characteristics such as aroma, flavor, body, and aftertaste. Aroma refers to the fragrant smells released during brewing, while flavor encompasses the coffee's overall taste profile, including notes of sweetness, bitterness, acidity, and richness. Body refers to the coffee's texture or mouthfeel, with descriptors like full-bodied, medium-bodied, or light-bodied. Aftertaste, or the finish, pertains to the lingering flavors and sensations experienced after swallowing the coffee. A well-prepared espresso is prized for its balance and complexity, combining these sensory attributes into a harmonious whole.
