    The Premium Bicafe (Blue N12) pod, despite its enticingly discounted price (at under 20 cents a capsule!), presents an off-putting aroma reminiscent of expended coffee grounds even before brewing.

    It is quite common to experience the "clear start" problem with this pod - Having just water dispensed at the beginning. Upon brewing, a fleeting moment of a nice aroma gives way rapidly to a pervasive earthiness and chalkiness.

    The taste experience continues to be perplexing. A potent acidity is intertwined with a faint, ephemeral scent in the mouth, vanishing almost as quickly as it appears and leaving behind the dominant earthy flavor. The brew concludes on a bitter and acidic note.

Roast Level: Italian
Italian roast coffee is one of the darkest roasts available, darker than what is typically labeled as "dark roast." The beans go to a higher temperature, which results in a glossy, dark brown appearance with an oily surface. The flavor profile of Italian roast coffee is characterized by its low acidity and heavy body, offering deep, rich, and sometimes charred or burnt flavors that hint at chocolate or caramel. However, the intensity of the roast often overshadows these. It is commonly used for espresso due to its strong taste and its thick, creamy consistency when brewed.
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.
