Nespresso's Vertuo machines provide a smaller selection of coffee pods compared to Original machines, but still offer numerous options within their Signature Coffee line. This includes seven unique pods that brew 7.77-ounce cups, varying from mild to bold roasts. The reviewer shares personal preferences, ranking flavors based on taste and smoothness. Specific mention is made of the Intenso pod, which has a chocolatey and smoky profile but is best suited with cream for those who may not enjoy bitter notes.
Given what I just said about my coffee preferences, it shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that I didn't love Nespresso's Intenso pod. This capsule boasts a level nine intensity (out of 12) and a full roast and claims to have roasted, chocolatey notes. I didn't prefer this higher-intensity Nespresso pod, but I'd hesitate to call it downright bad, and I'm sure there's a consumer out there who would appreciate the depth this coffee has to offer - unfortunately, I'm not that girl.
However, I wasn't expecting to enjoy the smokiness it offers as much as I did, and that made the front of each sip quite pleasant and surprising. In my opinion, Intenso is best enjoyed with cream, primarily because of the bitter flavors that came toward the end of the sip and lingered at the top of my palate.
