Cupping Method:On my Delonghi Nespresso 660. Regular and lungo shots.
Today I got locked out of my upstairs espresso setup during construction so I broke out some of the Nespresso capsules I'd purchased for guests. I had purchased this one at Eataly a few weeks ago, and actually had a couple. It makes a good crema both as regular and lungo espresso. The chocolate note is good here, and it lingers long after the cup is finished. That's the best part I'd say. Mid-palate there's a bit of smoke and spice. It's very solid overall, but IMHO doesn't rise to the caliber of some of the well-pulled CV shots I had at Eataly. Still, I think is one of the better/balanced Nespresso capsules I've had, but it doesn't top my favorite, the someone comparable Firenze Arpeggio (linked below for reference).
Comes on a bit strong but nice once you get used to it!
A delicious dark roast decaf with a massive crema and great structure and balance. Syrupy mouthfeel, dark bittersweet chocolate. Clean finish that leaves you wanting more.
