    We're sampling a Pod & Parcel pod again - A line which I've had a lot of trouble with in the past. This one has woody, earthy notes but is also deeply chocolatey. The texture is chalky and there's a lot of bitterness in here. The earthiness is off-putting and the finish lingers with an unpleasant bitterness and acidity. 0/5, unfortunately. This was not enjoyable in any way.

    The Calexte is supposed to be a blend of Colombian and Tanzanian coffee, with an intensity level of 5/13 and notes of dark toffee, caramel and pistachio.

    Unfortunately I've not had much luck with this round of sampler pods from Pod & Parcel, and I'm beginning to seriously consider if my pods were defective or damaged somehow. Take these reviews with a pinch of salt - I'll try to get my hands on more pods from this brand and we'll see if this is really what they taste like.

More Details

Roast Level: Medium
Medium roast coffee balances the beans' natural flavors and the roasting process, providing a well-rounded taste profile. When selecting a medium roast, look for a balance of acidity and sweetness, with caramel, nuts, and chocolate notes and a medium body.
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, which is 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.
