• Honduras available in US

    Another entry Master Origins line has recently become available for order in the USA. Only for Original line, not for Vertuo. Along with the recent re-introduction of Peru Organic, the line now consists of 7 pods in the US; in other markets it varies, as Honduras and Peru Organic may not be available (yet or anymore).

  • 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.

    Papua New Guinea Review

    A limited edition from Papua New Guinea, in the Master Origins line. Light brown foam. Intensely acidic aroma, with a subtle sweetness. Red berries, flowers and banana aromas can be smelled. Smooth and medium-lasting crema. At the taste it is quite light bodied, with a tinge of roastiness amid plenty of juicy acidity. Delicately fruity overall, little aftertaste when hot and next to nothing when lukewarm. Sweeter in the aroma than in taste, it has just a bit of red berries’ sweetness to be noticed. Papua New Guinea is a low intensity pod, gentle and smooth. Red berries flavors are present in the taste profile but more prominent is white…

  • Papua New Guinea is coming

    The new limited edition pod in the Master Origins line appeared on the Swiss website, giving us some info on its taste profile. It is a lightly-roasted coffee, with low intensity and medium body, leaning towards the fruity and acidic side of the coffee tastes’ spectrum. It works both as an espresso and a lungo, as per Nespresso. No info on when it will be available in other markets. Usually when a pod first appears, anywhere, it doesn’t take more than a couple of weeks to be purchasable in many countries.

    La Cumplida Refinada Review

    A Master Origins 2021 limited edition. A low-water usage, fermented coffee from Nicaragua. Light brown foam. Immediately the senses are assaulted by an intense, pungent aroma of very mature or candied fruits. A strong smell that can remind of fortified wine or cherry-based liqueurs. Unlike most other Nespresso pods. Dry and velvety at the first sip, it is full of acidity and some sweetness. A medium intensity coffee, it has a strong and lasting aftertaste, with the coffee swirling around all the palate’s sides and leaving its taste all over the mouth. A semblance of herbals, like green leaves, black tea and rosemary, can be discerned behind the fruity acidity…

    Colombia review

    Brown foam. Not a coffee with an intense aroma. Nutty and fruity notes converge into the Colombia’s aroma. A vague sweetness mixed with light acidity, sort of like a sweet red wine, can be smelled too. Quite sweeter and acidic at the taste. Medium bodied, with a weak crema. Lots of red berries’ acidity in the aftertaste, whereas the juicy sweetness is present more at the tip of the tongue. Vaguely bitter, acidity is responsible of covering it. Medium intensity. A pod that is strongly fruity, blackcurrant and red berries’ flavors being the dominant ones. One of the most wine-like capsules from Nespresso, with a mix of acidity, sweetness, clear…

    Nicaragua Review

    Brown foam. Sweet and malty aroma, quite pronounced. Hints of acidity can be smelled too. Light bodied, with barely any acidity at tasting. A vague sour aftertaste is noticeable, especially at high temperatures. Prevalently a bitter pod, only marginally sweet, with neither being overwhelming. Woody notes are the prevailing ones along with malty ones. Biscuits-like and a weak licorice flavors can also be tasted. It is not overall a flavorful pod, mostly having delicate flavors that balance each other. Weak crema. A capsule that works well with milk for a low intensity latte. Too much milk will make the coffee flavors completely disappear though. Drank black is a low key…
