Good Representation, Decide What's Right for You

I just bought my Nespresso Inissia online, and I wanted to make sure I had some capsules ready for when my Inissia arrived. This review is intended for new owners that are looking for a variety of Nespresso capsules. At the time of this posting, I've had my Inissia for 36 hours. I went with five stars to offset a lot of the older posts that attack the other listings based on value. Yes, you can most likely getmore bang from your buck if you make a large purchase from the Nespresso site, but sometimes that's not the best choice for the individual. I want this review to give you a breakdown of the flavors you get, and let you judge if it is the right purchase for you. First off, I wanted to point out that the Inissia comes bundled with a variety pack of 14 capsules. It's a pretty good variety from their various offerings. There is one vanilla, one decaf, and the other 12 cover a range of their Grand Cru capsules. Intenso, Espresso, Pure Origin, Lungo, Decaffeinato, and Variations (flavored) are all represented. Honestly, if I had to do it over again, I would have sampled the various offerings, and then made a large purchase directly from Nespresso. However, I know that may not be the right option for everyone, so read on if you want a breakdown of the five flavors represented The five capsules offered in this five pack are listed below. Descriptions are taken from the Nespresso site: CAPRICCIO (from the Espresso line) Intensity: 5 RICH AND DISTINCTIVE: Blending South American Arabicas with a touch of Robusta, Capriccio is an espresso with a rich aroma and a strong typical cereal note. Origin The presence of South American Arabicas grown at high altitude gives this blend a light acidity, which is balanced with the perfect amount of Brazilian Arabica and a touch of Robusta. Roasting The light roasting of this blend creates a rich character and preserves a light acidity. Aromatic Profile A typical cereal note balanced with a light acidity. ARPEGGIO (from the Intenso line) Intensity: 9 INTENSE AND CREAMY: A dark roast of pure South and Central American Arabicas,Arpeggio has a strong character and intense body, enhanced by cocoa notes. Origin A selection of the best South and Central American Arabicas, with fruity or malted profiles, characteristic of Costa Rican coffees. Roasting Arpeggio is roasted intensely to bring out the characteristics of each origin. Its full body develops from the fine grinding of the beans. Aromatic Profile Intense, grilled notes alongside subtle cocoa notes and woody hints. LIVANTO (from the Espresso line) Intensity: 6 ROUND AND BALANCED: A blend of pure Arabica from South and Central America,Livanto is a well-balanced espresso characterized by a roasted caramelized note. Origin This blend is composed of the most prestigious Central and South American Arabicas, found in Costa Rica and Colombia and is cultivated according to traditional methods to preserve their malted and fruity profiles. Roasting A medium roasting, accentuates malted notes, whilst fruity notes evolve to create a complex and delicate caramelized bouquet. Aromatic Profile A round and balanced profile, typical of freshly roasted coffee results in a combination of cereal, malted and caramelized notes as well as fine fruity notes. ROMA (from the Intenso line) Intensity: 8 FULL AND BALANCED: The balance of lightly roasted South and Central American Arabicas with Robusta, gives Roma sweet and woody notes and a full, lasting taste on the palate. Origin Cultivated at high altitude, the Central American Arabicas bring finesse, whilst the Brazilian Arabicas and Robustas provide body and a lingering taste on the palate. Roasting Light roasting and fine grinding bring finesse to the blend and create a short espresso, which is not too strong. Aromatic Profile Roasted and woody notes are revealed through the light roasting of intensely flavoured beans from different origins. RISTRETTO (from the Intenso line) Intensity: 10 POWERFUL AND CONTRASTING: A blend of South American and East African Arabicas, with a touch of Robusta, roasted separately to create the subtle fruity note of this full-bodied, intense espresso. Origin Composed of some of the best South American Arabicas from sources such as Colombia and Brazil, Ristretto also contains the great, lightly acidic East African Arabicas and a touch of Robusta for added zing. Roasting The beans are roasted slowly and separately to obtain an original bouquet bringing together acidic, fruity, and roasted notes. Its finely ground texture creates an Italian-style coffee: intense, with a rich flavour and full body. Aromatic Profile Strong roasted notes softened by notes of chocolate. A subtle contrast between strength and bitterness, acidic and fruity notes. Conclusion This is a pretty good variety pack if you want a fairly standard selection. You're not going to get outliers like Lungo, Decaffeinato, Variations, or the Pure Origin series. If you want to buy in bulk, then buying here may not be the most cost effective option. However, if you want to try five different Espressos that are all good and fairly standard, this is a pretty good representation if the math works out. By all means, shop around and find the best bargain, but this is a good representation.

Excellent Variety Pack - Great Tasting Nespresso Capsules!

This Nespresso Original Line Inspirazione Favorita variety pack is fantastic. I’ve tried almost all the flavors now and they’re all high quality. What I like: • Rich and bold flavors — each capsule has a distinct taste. • Nice mix of intensities: some smooth and creamy, others stronger and more aromatic. • Consistent quality, no duds. • Perfect for morning espresso, lungo, or even making lattes. • Good value when bought in a variety pack. I use my Lattissima One every day and these capsules work perfectly. My favorites so far are the darker, more intense ones, but the whole assortment is enjoyable. Highly recommend if you want to try different Nespresso flavors without buying full sleeves of each. Would buy again? Yes, definitely.
