Packaging
The typical Nespresso box contains aluminium capsules decorated by a ‘Nicaragua’ sign. The capsules can be easily recycled via the Nespresso collecting scheme. Alternatively, you may empty them and dispose of in your metal refuse. Nespresso describes this coffee as smooth and sweet, with plenty of cereal notes. The intensity rating is 5 out of 12.
Notes
Nicaragua is another coffee from the Master Origin collection of single-origin capsules from Nespresso. Its Arabica beans were processed by the so-called black-honey method, which enhances the sweetness of the coffee.
While this espresso is certainly sweet on the nose, its taste is somewhat flat and predominantly bitter.
