In a previous review, I tried the Vittoria Coffee Family Cup capsules as espresso and found it to be a bit too acidic for my taste. This time, I decided to give them a try as an Americano, adding just a bit of extra water for a total of approximately 80ml.
The additional water tempered down the acidity, allowing the natural scents of the coffee to come through more prominently. Although the "cucumbery" aroma may not seem like a conventional coffee trait, it was surprisingly pleasant in this context, and its presence was magnified in the Americano. There was still some bitterness in the flavor, but it was less pronounced than before.
Considering these factors, I'm giving the Vittoria Coffee Family Cup capsules an overall rating of 4/5 when brewed as an Americano. This method offers a slight improvement over the espresso experience, making it a more enjoyable and balanced drink.
Cupping Method:Recommend serving as an Americano. This Nespresso capsule review was added to Coffee Roast with the permission of coffeepodthoughts. See profile for more information.
