Caffè Carraro

Almost super good, but a bit too bitter. Has complexity and a great nose0

Cupping Method:Espresso shot at Twisted Tree Decordova

The Carraro Aroma e Gusto Intenso espresso pod sets the stage with an earthy, grassy scent, making way for an unmistakably acidic and vegetal flavor profile. Amidst this pervasive vegetal acidity, elusive chocolatey hints can be sensed, but they remain rather subtle and understated. The brew tends to be quite thin.

The tasting journey continues along a similar path, marked by a funky, earthy smell and a distinct acidity that can be generously described as fruity. On the brighter side, the funkiness of the aroma is largely masked when drinking. However, the experience is overshadowed by an enduring grassy smell and an assertively bitter aftertaste. Earthy and grassy notes persist throughout the tasting, culminating in a sharply acidic finish - 1.5/5.

This pod, rated by the manufacturer as an intensity of 12/14, sources its coffee of "non-EU origin". There is little else of note on the box.
