Summary of I Tried Every Nespresso Pod

00:00:00 - 00:30:00

The video features James Hoffmanmann trying out different Nespresso pods and rating them on roast, complexity, and cereal taste. His least favorite pod is the Palermo, which is very bitter and dominated by Robusta flavor.

• 00:00:00 The author tries every Nespresso pod available from Nespresso's UK store, rating them on roast and complexity. The Cosi is the lightest, Kenyan and Indonesian coffees mixed together is the most complex, and Corto is the most coffee-y. All of the pods taste the same, with no discernible flavor.
• 00:05:00 The video discusses three different Nespresso pods: a Barista Creation, Scuro (darkness), and a milk pod made with Ethiopian coffee. All three pods have mediocre roast levels and lack character. The Ethiopian pod in particular is disappointing because it lacks acidity and fruit notes.
• 00:10:00 The video features three coffees from the Nespresso World Exploration series - a coffee from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, a coffee from Zimbabwe, and a coffee from Uganda. All three coffees were rated as having a roast level of seven or eight, a character level of six, and a taste level of one or two. The Ugandan coffee was rated as having an added flavor of cereal. All three coffees were rated as being disappointing, with the Democratic Republic of the Congo coffee being the most disappointing.
• 00:15:00 The video discusses various types of espresso pods and their individual strengths and weaknesses. The Tokyo Vivalto Lungo is noted for its tea-like flavor, the Japanese affinity for coffee, and the sophistication and naturally sweet nature of Japanese coffee drinkers. The Shanghai Lungo is described as having a modern Chinese coffee culture, but the reviewer finds it unappetizing. The Vienna Lungo is noted for its old-world coffeehouse atmosphere and its robusta and roast flavors. The Italian-inspired stuff is next, and the reviewer is afraid to try it because of the weird flavors. Finally, Squarespace is promoted as a website builder that is easy to use and can help with various coffee-related endeavors.
• 00:20:00 This YouTube video features James Hoffmanmann testing out different Nespresso pods. Hoffmanmann starts with a Nespresso pod template and fills it with his own words and images. He then creates a website that looks great on every device and browser. Hoffmanmann uses code JAMESHOFFMANN for 10% off any website or domain. Hoffmanmann tries three different Nespresso pods--Rome, Napoli, and Palermo--and finds that all of them are roasted very dark and have a lot of Robusta flavor. Hoffmanmann's least favorite pod today is Palermo, which is hugely bitter and dominated by Robusta flavor.
• 00:25:00 The video demonstrates the various Nespresso pods, rating each one on roast, complexity, and cereal taste. The decaf version of the Ristretto pod is rated higher than the caffeinated version, but the Millennio pod is less impressive. The roast level is 7 out of 10 for the Novecento, 6 out of 10 for the Ristretto, and 5 out of 10 for Millennio. The complexity is 2 out of 10 for the Novecento, 3 out of 10 for the Ristretto, and 4 out of 10 for Millennio. The cereal taste is 9 out of 10 for the Ristretto, 7 out of 10 for the Novecento, and 5 out of 10 for Millennio.
• 00:30:00 The author tries every Nespresso pod and reports that they are not all enjoyable. The three pods he tried that are essentially flavored coffee pods were not his favorite. The caramel creme brulee pod tastes like sugar with caramel added, the vanilla eclair pod has a fake vanilla flavor, and the cocoa truffle pod does not taste like chocolate.
