Nespresso Ispirazione Napoli
Probably my favorite "strong" taste so far. Quite bitter, but without a too-bitter after-taste. And it looks gorgeous as well
Perla Superiore Origins Sumatra
AH house brand. Very smooth, comparable to the Nespresso Indonesia, good (slightly) more affordable alternative.
Nespresso Ispirazione Firenze Arpeggio
Really nice solid espresso, highly recommended.
Nespresso Ispirazione Firenze Arpeggio Decaffeinato
Every bit as good as the version with caffeine, nice for late at night.
Nespresso Master Origin Indonesia
My favorite espresso so far, strong and smooth.
Blokker Decaf
Comparable to the "Rijk" in taste, making it a great smooth late evening coffee.
Blokker Pittig
Really solid espresso, can easily hold it's own against the Nespresso Ispiraziones. My go-to affordable capsule.
Blokker Rijk
Great espresso, not quite as intense as some others, but a nice smooth aftertaste, excellent for breakfast.
Nespresso Ispirazione Ristretto Italiano
Good, but just a little bit on the bitter side. Nice for an occasional hit of bitter.
Bellarom Viola Espresso
Lidl home brand. Surprisingly good, pretty smooth and strong without being overly bitter. Non-recyclable cups are a downside.
Nespresso Ispirazione Venezia
A bit closer to a traditional dutch coffee taste, but still a very solid espresso.
Blokker Mild
A bit lightweight on the intensity for an espresso, but tastes nice and is a good pick for when you want something a bit more mellow.
Nespresso Master Origin India
Somewhat interesting but not really my taste, hard to put my finger on why.
Bellarom Ristretto Espresso
Lidl home brand. Drinkable but pretty crude. Also non-recyclable cups are a downside.
Nespresso Cape Town Envivo Lungo
Doable for a lungo, but I think lungo's just are not my thing.
L'or Colombia
Decent, but I'm not too fond of the "dark" taste.
L'or Guatemala
Decent, but I'm not too fond of the "dark" taste.
Bellarom Intenso Espresso
Lidl home brand. A bit too bitter for my taste, and not a nice aftertaste. Also non-recyclable cups are a downside.
Nespresso Ispirazione Roma
Quite disappointing, do not like this one.
Nespresso Stockholm Fortissio Lungo
Very bland and watery. Too bad because the packaging is beautiful.
Nespresso Corto
Supposed to be drunk with milk, but equally disgusting with or without.
Cafe Royal Dark Chocolate
Pretty terrible. Turns out I prefer my espresso to taste like coffee.
