Dallmayr Capsa Espresso Barista, 5-pack (5 x 10 Capsules) (Food & Beverage)

Customer Review

I bought a few days ago the Dallmayr Capsa Barista package to try because I stumbled by chance on the good reviews here. At first I was reluctant because I had already tried Nespresso cheap alternatives for some time before that were just unbearable, but the next time I stop shopping took a pack.

One thing first:

The capsules can be only with increased pressure set in my Essenza and, with a little more force on the lever, eject again. I can not tell if this is as good in the long run, but I wait anyway for a reason I finally buy the compact Pixie really ...

To taste:

The taste I was very surprised.
Capsa Barista does not taste like an ordinary espresso. You can taste neither the special roasting, which can taste an espresso intensively to tart / bitter, yet the flavor with the rough touch. You get here an ordinary coffee from the Nespresso system and this tastes really very very good. Every little mouthful tastes so full, as there is no original Nespresso variety creates else. There I prefer the variety Livanto. I would even say that this coffee goes in the direction (for rough classification, if you only know the original capsules).

Normally, it annoys me when I have my Nespresso drunk because I every time I feel that that's not enough. But in order to drink it in the morning 2-3, the system is definitely too expensive! This coffee here tastes so good that he even "saturated". It can be described only with difficulty. When sipping the cup, it feels like as if you take a huge bite out of an ordinary coffee cup ... from a (I must repeat that it is not is the wrong message) really very good coffee. After only one cup I am totally satisfied with this delicious coffee and take only so no second, because I'm so sensitive to caffeine. Furthermore, the coffee is so digestible, that he did not in the stomach. Overall, it's the most delicious coffee I have drunk in it from a non-fully automatic machines with expensive beans in home use.

The crema is unique tight and firm. Even if I reinrühre a small spoonful of sugar, it does not move, not even changed the pattern. The Crema deckelt the coffee perfect! On the package that they should be dark brown ... that's not true. It is quite normal peanut Tan / bäisch.

All this has led to make me the Capsa Barista to my new every morning coffee. Priced I see no reason, however. A saving of 5ct per capsule is ridiculously low and negligible. This coffee should be bought because he's really good.

The star deduction is only because the capsules are just not easy to handle with my Essenza machine.
