Nespresso Carafe Pour-Over Style Mild Vertuo Taste Test
I unboxed my Carafe Pour-Over Style Mild Vertuo pods, and they reminded me of the Barista Creations. The pod had brown rose color and was layered like a gradient. This pod was only compatible with my Nespresso Vertuo Next machine, so I brewed it in the Vertuo Carafe set with that machine. The device delivered me an 18 oz drink within three minutes and 20 seconds. I felt a mild aroma and the color indicated it had an intensity of 5-6. I took a sip and found it light, smooth, and sweet. The malted cereal flavor hit my palate. I did not detect acidity, but a bit of bitter notes touched my tongue. It was a pleasant and nice coffee.
I frothed the milk in the next shot and added it to the Pour-Over Style Mild Vertuo coffee. The milk made my drink smooth and revealed sweet notes. It was a good coffee cup.
These Carafe pods are inspired by the pour-over method and deliver well-balanced, sweet, and light beverages. Brew it with or without milk, and pair it with chocolate cake, Nutella crepes, etc.; they will always amaze you.
