Rebranding of some capsules
According to various sources (Nespresso Uk website and the newsletter), there will be a rebranding of some original line capsules and a welcome return. In short: Dharkan is being phased out in favour of “Ispirazione Napoli“. This will be a different blend with a different profile. Kazaar is being renamed as “Ispirazione Palermo“.

Livanto will undergo a rebranding to “Ispirazione Genova Livanto“.

Dharkan is officially being discontinued

Just for a few days, up to 20th December, the new Ispirazione Napoli is available on the Nespresso US website to purchase. Officially it will be back for good on March 2020, probably worldwide.

We love Dharkan but the aromatic profile and intensity (13) of this Ispirazione Napoli are interesting enough to make us not too sad for the old capsule to go. Nespresso would make us happier to add more stable capsules sometimes instead of always removing one to add another one.

Dharkan being discontinued?
Rumors floating around claim that Dharkan may be discontinued at the beginning of 2020. A new capsule, inspired by neapolitan coffee, will substitute it. The new capsule may have an intensity of 13, so even stronger than Dharkan, but of course the aromatic profile will be different. As we love Dharkan, if you love it too it may be wise to stock it up this Christmas.

Dharkan review
Origin: washed and long roasted at low temperature Arabica coffee from Latin America and Asia. Intensity: 11 Bitterness: 5 Acidity: 1 Body: 4 Roasting: 5 Order: Buy Dharkan capsules at Amazon Medium brown foam. Caramel and cereals aroma, with woody hints. Dry and a very dark roast. Quite creamy, a heavy cup. Some bitterness mixes with the sweetness of the caramel, more pronounced as the coffee cools down. A bit of a burnt aftertaste. Persistent crema. Throughout a dry tasting experience for a coffee with a marked character and high intensity.
