Nespresso Ispirazione Napoli

Probably my favorite "strong" taste so far. Quite bitter, but without a too-bitter after-taste. And it looks gorgeous as well

Perla Superiore Origins Sumatra

AH house brand. Very smooth, comparable to the Nespresso Indonesia, good (slightly) more affordable alternative.

Nespresso Ispirazione Firenze Arpeggio

Really nice solid espresso, highly recommended.

Nespresso Ispirazione Firenze Arpeggio Decaffeinato

Every bit as good as the version with caffeine, nice for late at night.

Nespresso Master Origin Indonesia

My favorite espresso so far, strong and smooth.

Blokker Decaf

Comparable to the "Rijk" in taste, making it a great smooth late evening coffee.

Blokker Pittig

Really solid espresso, can easily hold it's own against the Nespresso Ispiraziones. My go-to affordable capsule.

Blokker Rijk

Great espresso, not quite as intense as some others, but a nice smooth aftertaste, excellent for breakfast.

Nespresso Ispirazione Ristretto Italiano

Good, but just a little bit on the bitter side. Nice for an occasional hit of bitter.

Bellarom Viola Espresso

Lidl home brand. Surprisingly good, pretty smooth and strong without being overly bitter. Non-recyclable cups are a downside.

Nespresso Ispirazione Venezia

A bit closer to a traditional dutch coffee taste, but still a very solid espresso.

Blokker Mild

A bit lightweight on the intensity for an espresso, but tastes nice and is a good pick for when you want something a bit more mellow.

Nespresso Master Origin India

Somewhat interesting but not really my taste, hard to put my finger on why.

Bellarom Ristretto Espresso

Lidl home brand. Drinkable but pretty crude. Also non-recyclable cups are a downside.

Nespresso Cape Town Envivo Lungo

Doable for a lungo, but I think lungo's just are not my thing.

L'or Colombia

Decent, but I'm not too fond of the "dark" taste.

L'or Guatemala

Decent, but I'm not too fond of the "dark" taste.

Bellarom Intenso Espresso

Lidl home brand. A bit too bitter for my taste, and not a nice aftertaste. Also non-recyclable cups are a downside.

Nespresso Ispirazione Roma

Quite disappointing, do not like this one.

Nespresso Stockholm Fortissio Lungo

Very bland and watery. Too bad because the packaging is beautiful.

Nespresso Corto

Supposed to be drunk with milk, but equally disgusting with or without.

Cafe Royal Dark Chocolate

Pretty terrible. Turns out I prefer my espresso to taste like coffee.
