Nespresso's taste is least likely to be anything anyone is looking for in a good espresso.
That high pressure causes some odd taste notes and it would cause channeling in the puck. Not to mention all sort of other issues which start already at ~11 bars.
- theGnuMe 4y agoI disagree and I've brewed many espressos many ways and I love a good espresso. I found this article interesting because they talk about the complexity of espresso as being characteristic of a mix of extractions at different pressures. This is apparently different than the model they came up with to brew the perfect espresso. But they also note that 9-11 bars is too high and go as low as 7. Fascinating.
- lostlogin 4y agoI’ve found there to be a distinct taste to Nespresso and go some way to avoid it (literally in some cases, it’s in cafes all over Europe). I’m not sure if it’s the coffee container or the high pressure and bean combo but it’s taste is not something I’d ever aim for. I strongly believe that the Nespresso was designed to solve/create a problem to fit their business model. In this order: Proprietary, good margin, small foot print (pods and extraction unit), easy to use, disposable.
- theGnuMe 4y agoThat Euro cafe served nespresso coffee is different then the nespesso capsules for making espresso. I've had so I understand what you mean. The nespresso pod machines, it sure is a razorblade model but you can get quite and varied espressos.
