Brazil Organic is available in some markets
So far we have seen Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, possibly more. It has been for a couple a weeks, with no signs of showing up in other markets, which may be a sign of a limited release. The pod itself has similar characteristics to the Brazil one for the Nespresso professional line. It may be a coincidence or the same capsule made for the Original line, and redesigned for the occasion. The Brazil Organic pod is part of the Master Origins line and it is not marked as a limited edition.

Nespresso Christmas 2022 flavors
Nothing confirmed by Nespresso themselves but 3 new limited editions are expected to be this year’s festive pods. An hazelnut-flavored and raspberry-flavored pods, and a generic “black” coffee, probably unflavored. The black one may be in the furrow of Forest Black, being a new blend with a taste profile matching the festive theme, but no added flavorings. No news on when these will be on the shelves but it is rumored to be earlier than in other years, maybe even around mid October. It is also rumored that Peppermint limited edition will come back for this Christmas, in both the Original and Vertuo lines.

Pumpkin Spice Cake Review
Light brown foam. Strong cinnamon aroma, sweet and long lasting. The cinnamon overcomes most other smells but a roasty aroma is powerful enough to be smelled too. Pumpkin is barely noticeable at the nose. A pod with a medium body, quite creamy overall, with a velvety mouthfeel. Initially rather bitter and only slightly acidic. That changes when the coffee gets lukewarm, with bitterness becoming less pronounced. Some sweetness from the pumpkin is clearly present but not too intense. Good aftertaste made of sweet and spicy notes. Pumpkin Spice Cake is definitely one of those coffee that lingers for a while on the palate. Taste profile is rich in pumpkin and…

Gimoka Brasil Review
Light brown foam. Sweet aroma, not particularly intense, rather delicate. Slightly floral. At the taste the sweetness is present, of milky qualities. This sweetness gives the coffee a taste similar to one with a splash of real milk in it. Quite low intensity, despite the 8 score given by Gimoka. Some bitterness is present, mostly in the aftertaste. Acidity barely noticeable instead. Light-bodied. At lower temperatures the sweetness, bitterness, and acidity balance out. Cocoa and milk are the main flavors, with hints of dried fruits. Weak crema, quickly disappearing. Not extremely flavorful, it definitely need a bit of sugar to bring out more flavors (or, if you are inclined to,…

Pumpkin Spice will be available this fall too
Reports have shown how Nespresso is releasing the Pumpkin Spice pod for both Vertuo and Original line later this year, most probably starting from September. Canada, Uk, Israel seem so far the only ones officially confirmed. High chances that most other markets will be involved as well, as usual for this pod. We have seen mentioned only as “Pumpkin Spice” and not “Pumpkin Spice Cake”. If you received any confirmation from Nespresso about availability of Pumpkin Spice this year, let us know in the comments.

Nespresso Pod Guide updated for 2022
It had been a few months since our downloadable pod guide was updated. We did it today, and both the dark and light versions are available to save on the original post. We have been listening to your requests and are planning to include the pods’ colors in the infographic. It has not been done yet, we are thinking how to implement it in a way that is clear and well visible also on small screens (like a mobile phone). Once it is done, we will inform you in a news.
