Aroma
The full-bodied aroma of Roma shows a pleasant complexity and reveals its dark roasting. The sweetness of creme caramel is nicely balanced by the light acidity of dark cherries and the bitterness of rich cocoa. A touch of vanilla and cinnamon bring an extra spark.
Taste
Roma by Nespresso is an intense yet velvety Italian-style dark roast without any hints of burnt coffee. At the forefront is the light cocoa bitterness which later changes into a more intense, herbally bitter notes. These are balanced by the mild acidity of cranberries and the sweetness of burnt toffee. The aftertaste is creamy and sweet with a hint of smokiness at the end.
Extraction
The flawless extraction produces tall and elegant crema.

Notes
Roma by Nespresso contains a blend of Robusta and Arabica coffee from South and Central Americas. The beans are roasted to a not-too-dark standard, delivering a very good balance between the intensity, bitterness and complexity. Roma is thus a great example of well-balanced Italian-style espresso, similar to its sister edition Ristretto, or Armonioso by Pellini Espresso and Forza by L’Or Espresso.
