Jacobs Cappuccino (Germany). At first glance it is immediately obvious that the Jacobs Cappuccino - despite the sticker 50% more foam "- forms only a thin layer of foam that also dissolves too quickly At second glance one recognizes a smaller amount compared to the other two cappuccinos. At first, the Jacobs tastes very good, easy to digest and harmony. Once you have tried but all other providers, one realizes that the Jacobs of geschmacksschwächste cappuccino of the trio is! A look the Espresso pad reveals possibly the solution: Assuming that all providers at - also available separately - use espresso in the composition, then the standard Jacobs Espresso received the intensity level 3 of Tassimo, which he also here the weakest would be, to the other two.
Carte Noire Cappuccino (France): (! To emphasize, without 50% more "inscription) The cappuccino from Carte Noire is the largest amount of foam although this will remain intact even do not get much longer than the Jacobs, but the large amount looks it longer more "out. Carte Noire apparently used a different milk composition, which has - in Verlgeich to the other two typical blue Milchpads of competitors - shows already by the purple color of the pad. The Carte Noire offers a small amount more cappuccino for your money. Although the taste is a bit stronger than at Jacobs, but not necessarily tasteful. The Espresso pad obscured its origin, as all Carte Noire Pads are black. It could both Carte Noire Expresso standard be (which is closer) or Expresso Ristretto (stage 6). The standard coffee is classified with 3. Strength and taste are two different things ", but also very subjective. In direct comparison unfortunately I liked this Cappuccino not as good as the competition.
Mastro Lorenzo Cappuccino (Italy): Mastro Lorenzo lands in midfield. Slightly more foam than Jacobs, but much less than Carte Noire, but he seems more stable. The Cappuccino amount similar to the, the Carte Noire and is also slightly more than the Jacobs. The Mastro Lorenzo is on the strength equal to the Carte Noire, thus significantly outperform the Jacobs, but is also a bit rich and harmonious in taste, as the Carte Noire. The selection of Mastro Lorenzo Espresso is very small and therefore almost unequivocal: one starts from the Mastro Lorenzo Espresso Intenso, this by Tassimo is rated with the intensity 6. Thus, he would be the strongest when Carte Noire Expresso used his standard. If one tests the Mastro Lorenzo and Carte Noire immediately after the Carte Noire, so actually tastes a bit weaker. Only
My conclusion: 3 cappuccinos from 3 different countries and 1 Price = 4.79 EUR. All three have their distinct strengths and weaknesses. The order is established 1) Italy 2) Germany 3) France. Although I prefer a more full crema and a lot of foam, it is unfortunately not everything. From the price-performance ratio convinced me of Mastro Lorenzo Cappuccino. More Cappuccino, a Tassimo acceptable foam, intense round taste. A fully automatic machine clearly to others. I want the Mastro Lorenzo the stereotype that such pad machines only "produce water broth, put an end to prove guests the opposite. However, it is well sometimes give Jacobs cappuccino because it in spite of everything a good, albeit weak, but it easily digestible flavor offers. Though let me down foam amount and total amount rather, especially because of the completely wrongly label bearing 50% more foam ". Perhaps to the 3 cappuccinos also not in competition, but use the different requirements. At the end everyone has to his own "matching cappuccino find as taste, feel and desire are very individual and subjective =)
