  Time to give Nespresso's coconut flavored summer drink another try! This time, I pulled a shot into warm, frothy milk, making a more comfortable creamy drink charged with the sweet vanillary flavors of coconut. Now this becomes a very pleasant beverage, especially if also sweetened. Works well both hot and cold - 4/5!
  
  If you're into coffee strictly for coffee flavors, then perhaps this one isn't for you. But if you're open to mixing and matching to create sweet, flavored beverages, having a pod like this gives you lots of room for creativity. Definitely a fun pod, and I'm glad I had a chance to give it a try!
  
  As Espresso:
  
  I jumped at the opportunity to try out Nespresso's limited edition Coconut over Ice, since coconut is a flavor I love! Nespresso recommends brewing this as an espresso over 90g of ice, which is what I have done here.
  
  When brewed, my kitchen filled up immediately with a powerful coconut scent, which is actually rather overwhelming. Indeed, I could not detect any of the natural flavors of the coffee at all, not especially over its heavy acidity and bitterness. The same is true for its aftertaste, which lingers unpleasantly. I do believe this drink has a lot of promise, but it needs milk and sugar if you want it to be a refreshing enjoyable beverage. As it is - 2.5/5.
  
  Nespresso's Barista Creations line is a curious one indeed, featuring coffees that are flavored and/or designed to go with milk. The description on this one is pretty scant, it speaks of roasted, caramelly notes and hints of vanilla, which I unfortunately failed to pick up on. Keep your eyes peeled on this space - I'm going to try a few variants soon to hopefully do this coffee better justice!
