Nespresso\u00ae compatible capsules: intense and full-bodied<\/h2>\n

At the end of the day, this is all a matter of taste: if you like powerful coffees with a rich, full body and smooth finish, your first stop should be dark roast coffees from countries like Italy or Spain.<\/span> The Pellini, Mauro and Vergnano capsules are perfect examples. These coffees exude a uniquely Italian expertise<\/strong>, with a hint of bitterness and toasted notes<\/strong>. Also of interest may be the capsules offered by Kimbo, a brand whose roasters have stayed true to their Neapolitan origins<\/strong>. You’re bound to fall in love with the velvety consistency and strong flavour of their coffee.<\/p>\n

This type of coffee is often best enjoyed in the morning, sweetened with a drop of milk. Ideal for the breakfast table, these intense coffees<\/strong> will instantly perk you up! They are also often served later in the day, to add a note of richness and intensity at the end of a meal for example. And why not drink this coffee with a small chocolate, for an extra bit of indulgence?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Balance and pleasure<\/h2>\n

On the other hand, if you\u2019re looking for something milder and more fruity<\/strong>, then I\u2019d recommend that you focus on lighter, less intense roasts, the specialty of many a French craft coffee brand.<\/span> It may have less body than Italian coffee, but a lighter roast will offer you greater aromatic complexity<\/strong>. Cutting-edge French brands such as<\/span> Caf\u00e9s Lugat,\u00a0TerraMoka,\u00a0Cap\u2019Mundo \u00a0and Caf\u00e9s Tchanqu\u00e9s\u00a0are bound to be winners. And if you look further afield, there are even milder, lighter roasts<\/strong> being produced in northern European countries, such as the Scandinavian nations and Belgium. These capsules will satisfy any taste buds in search of moderation and subtlety.<\/span> But who are they best suited to? The answer is mild coffee lovers, who tend to drink several cups a day<\/strong>. These capsules are ideal for a gentle coffee break in the morning. A little tip: they also go great with a piece of fruit or a sweet treat.<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, there’s another way of finding your bearings in the jungle that is the Nespresso\u00ae compatible capsule market, and that is to choose your capsules according to their flavour notes. As with wine, each coffee presents a different aroma and flavours.<\/p>\n

There are four main families of tasting “notes”:<\/p>\n
