I use these capsules troubleshooting and I'm quite a fan of tight and very strong in taste coffees. This variety is intended for long coffees, and most people who have consumed and enjoyed it, but personally I prefer to use the short version to be more concentrated and more powerful. I get a nice creamy crema, a rich coffee taste but without bitterness. In use Lungo, it gives a pretty sweet coffee. The quality Carte Noire is present as in most products of this brand, but however, we do not find the particular aroma of Nespresso coffees. It is therefore a good coffee Carte Noire, soft Lungo. Unlike Nespresso capsules, these are finely pre-drilled making they have an additional packaging per unit. So impossible to place the capsules in a storage distributor and unpack might affect its preservation. A impractical and suddenly over-packaging, not ecological. The cost to the capsule is equal to that of Nespresso we control the Internet, the advantage is that you can find on the market.
