Nordic Almond Cake review
Origin: a flavoured coffee inspired from the norwegian Kvæfjordkake, based off Livanto Intensity: 6 Bitterness: 3 Acidity: 3 Body: 3 Roasting: 3 Order: Buy Nordic Almond Cake capsules at Amazon A Nordic Variations Limited Edition from 2019. Light brown foam. Sweet aroma, of a good intensity. Very much almond-like. A medium-heavy cup, with hints of cereals and meringue mixed with some bitterness. Low acidity. Closely resembling a more subtle version of the Macaron limited edition. A blend of cream, meringue and almond flavours over the Livanto base. Delicate and flavourful.

Nordic Black review
Origin: a blend of African and South American coffee Intensity: 5 Bitterness: 1 Acidity: 2 Body: 2 Roasting: 2 Order: Buy Nordic Black capsules at Amazzon A Nordic Variations Limited Edition from 2019. Brown foam. A mix of fruits and cereals aroma. Fruity and acidic at the taste, more so at lower temperatures. A markedly dry cup. Quite low intensity, even less than the 5 Nespresso officially gives to it. Little to no bitterness. A pungent, fruity, light cup for an easy drink experience. Crema is inconsistent. To be drank as a lungo but for more punch an espresso/ristretto would be to us the sweet spot between the flavours and…

Nordic Cloudberry review
Origin: a Livanto-based capsule, with a cloudberry flavouring Intensity: 6 Bitterness: 3 Acidity: 3 Body: 3 Roasting: 3 Order: Buy Nordic Cloudberry capsules at Amazon A Nordic Variations Limited Edition from 2019. Light brown foam. Strong and pungent aroma of berries, completely overcoming the coffee aroma. At a first sip the cloudberry and acidity are prominent, with little bitterness. It barely resembles a cup of coffee at first, fruits and berries flavours cover any hint of coffee, especially at higher temperatures. A light-bodied cup. Not particularly sweet, with hints of citrus flavours instead. One of the least standard cups of coffee among the whole Nespresso line.

Nespresso Advent Calendar available
In some markets, UK, Germany and a few other europeans so far, it’s possible to buy the Advent Calendar, containing 23 capsules and one “surprise”. Surprise is probably going to be a small glass or one of the small Nespresso accessories. Priced at 29€/25£ it is on the expensive side. No news if it will be available for the US market too (in the previous years it wasn’t).

Long Black Over Ice review
Origin: Ethiopia and Peru coffee Intensity: 5 Order: Buy Long Black Over Ice capsules at Amazon A 2019 Summer Limited Edition. Light brown foam. Pleasurably roasted smell, pronounced. Medium-strong body, with a thick and persistent crema. An acidic cup, just a bit bitter. Hints of chocolate can be discerned but not above the citric, fruity ones. A fresh, velvety cup overall, with the acidity very noticeable throughout the tasting. To be tasted cold as Nespresso suggests, which makes the acidity and fruity notes overcoming the other flavours and hints.

Flat White Over Ice review
Origin: A blend of Ethiopian and Indian coffees Intensity: 5 Order: Buy Flat White Over Ice capsules at Amazon A 2019 Summer Limited Edition. Light brown foam. Sweet and aromatic aroma, resembling malt and spices. Slightly on the bitter side but not too much as to be classified as a bitter capsule. Quite acidic and spicy, punching through the milk and enabling to taste it regardless of the amount of milk added. A thin bodied cup, with a strong leaning towards spicy and malty flavours. Probably not possible to drink it as black coffee as the taste would be quite unlikeable.
