What makes this coffee so good that even professional green coffee bean testers give it high scores?

The taste of adults

Why do coffee lovers love single-origin coffee?

As you slowly get through the coffee enlightenment stage, you also grow from a cash-strapped teenager to an adult who begins to pay attention to the quality of life.

The so-called "taste of adulthood" does not mean losing curiosity about life, but becoming more clear about what you want after experiencing more attempts.

Therefore, more and more people are looking for the stories of coffee producing areas, and finding the characteristics of coffee from different producing areas that attract them, such as the floral aroma of African coffee, and the balance and dried fruit sweetness of American coffee. A simple cup of coffee not only embellishes life, but also adds fun.

Every large producing country has small special producing areas. Every batch of coffee harvested and processed by each coffee farm has its own unique flavor because of the different processes involved.

For example, the coffee producing areas in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in Colombia have fertile soil and ample sunshine, which are particularly suitable for the growth and processing of coffee. The Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta is a Feng Shui treasure land for growing good coffee. The Sirerra Nevada snow mountain has an incomparable unique microclimate, with a good balance of sunshine and appropriate rainfall, and a temperature difference between morning and evening, which makes the coffee taste richer and more layered. The coffee beans are full, rich in taste, and low in acidity.

In recent years, in Cajamarca, Peru, a high-altitude country that is relatively rare, local farmers use traditional Minga farming to cultivate top-quality Arabica coffee beans to make espresso that has a mellow taste, a distinct sense of heaviness, a prominent sweetness, and is accompanied by a licorice aroma.

Nestlé Dolce Gusto has just launched two new single-origin coffee capsules, which are from the two important coffee producing areas of Colombia and Peru. It is said that professional green bean buyers have carefully selected these two coffees after traveling around the world to present them to coffee lovers. Coffee made with these two single-origin coffee beans can be drunk as flavorful black coffee alone, or as the base of various coffee drinks.

What do these two coffees taste like?

We invited five well-known baristas in China, who are also coffee shop owners and green bean evaluation experts, to let their picky tongues taste the new coffee capsules of Nestlé Dolce Gusto.

“Small regions have diverse and delicate flavors, making coffee more interesting.”

American coffee made with Columbia capsules has a delicate nutty aroma. The first sip has a low acidity and a mellow taste, with the flavor of baked biscuits and roasted almonds. The second sip, the coffee liquid stays in the mouth for a few seconds and tastes carefully, and the berry acid and light floral aroma can be found. After swallowing the coffee, the aftertaste in the mouth is a herbal aroma and a sucrose-like sweetness.

Coffee beans from Cajamarca, Peru. The espresso made from this deep roasted coffee bean is very rich in fat. This Peruvian coffee has a very strong flavor of nuts and dark chocolate. It has a smooth and dense taste like cream in the mouth, and the aroma stays on the tongue for a long time.

“The original planting method retains the purest flavor of coffee beans.

It reminds me of the passionate South American customs and culture.

This coffee bean is grown in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the Santa Marta region, which has a unique microclimate. The top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round and faces the Caribbean Sea. The unique alpine climate and natural temperature difference make the coffee taste richer and more layered. After being moderately roasted by the roaster, it exudes a delicate and charming nutty aroma.

In Cajamarca, Peru, local farmers at high altitudes use traditional Minga farming to cultivate top-quality Arabica coffee beans. The traditional farming method makes this coffee bean even rarer and more valuable, while also retaining the most traditional and original flavor. A cup of coffee reminds people of the passionate country across the ocean, and the distinct flavor inspires rich imagination, making people feel as if they are there.

“The capsules are fresh and have a unique flavor.”

The coffee made from the two capsules tastes smooth, whether it is a small amount of water or a large amount of water, the longer the extraction time, the smoother the taste. The extraction state of the two capsules reflects the freshness of the coffee powder inside, and the oil is very dense. The acidity and bitterness are balanced. Compared with the formula capsules I have drunk before, and even the espresso and Americano produced by boutique coffee shops, these two capsules have a balanced acidity and bitterness, and are easy to drink. In my opinion, this is an important feature that can capture consumers for a long time.

The two coffees were designed with the customer's experience in mind, with a lot of effort put into the freshness and flavor of the coffee. The capsules lock in the flavor of a single origin for a long time, which is amazing. Whether it is the oily, bright, acidic Colombia or the balanced Peru, they are all fresher than expected.

"Better extraction rate,

Guaranteed restoration of authentic flavor.”

Espresso from Peru reduces the ratio of espresso to 1:5, which improves the overall coffee concentration, the clarity of taste and flavor, and the overall sweetness, and reduces the retention of bitterness at the end. The concentration of 1:5 ratio is 4.15 TDS, and the extraction rate is 21.61%. The flavor is cedar, dark stone fruit, slightly sour and sweet, which can be said to be a cup of espresso with excellent taste.

American strong black coffee from Colombia has low sweetness and acidity, and moderate thickness. When evaluating this American coffee, because the coffee powder to water ratio is 1:16.42, 7g of coffee powder extracts 115g of coffee liquid weight, which is similar to the coffee powder to water ratio of ordinary hand-brewed coffee. The coffee flavor is clear and has moderate thickness. In terms of production, it also presents its flavor characteristics with a high extraction rate, retaining the characteristics of its production area.

"The Peruvian grapes picked entirely by hand are clean and elegant.

The flavor of Colombia is unique to its microclimate.”

The diverse production areas and changing microclimates create the unique flavor of Peruvian coffee. This coffee from the Cajamarca Highlands of Peru is hand-picked at the production site, which brings a refreshing, elegant and clean taste to the final cup of coffee. The medium-dark roasting degree increases the sweetness brought by the caramelization reaction during the roasting process, and you can feel the cocoa and nut flavors.

Some places have a magical power. Just by the name or the inaccessible and distant attributes, people can have wishful fantasies and an irresistible urge to visit. Colombia is such a coffee producing area that I must visit. This is because the coffee in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in Colombia has the characteristics of the origin of Colombia. The unique microclimate allows the producing area to have sufficient sunshine and continuous rainfall. This growth process brings rich and varied flavors to the coffee in the cup.

How about tasting the freshness of the place of origin without leaving home?

We couldn't wait to start trying it. In fact, the "coffee bug" in our stomach was already making noises long before we got the evaluation results from the five big names.

Open the Nestlé Dolce Gusto LUMIO Romeo coffee machine, whose simple design is aimed at young families, providing coffee lovers with a convenient, fast and tasteful choice.

In addition to the base tray, there is a very thoughtful design on the front of the coffee machine. There are two sets of clips, which are convenient for cups of different sizes to be placed at different heights to prevent coffee from splashing. The most important thing is that it is extremely easy to operate. Plug in the power supply, press the switch, and wait for the switch to change from flashing red to green, and you can officially make coffee. In less than a minute, a cup of high-quality coffee is ready.

Nestle Duoqusi LUMIO coffee machine uses 15BAR high pressure extraction, and the surface of the black coffee produced will form a dense golden oil. This is mainly due to its unique Smart Capsule capsule sealing technology, which can provide a guarantee for preserving the stable flavor of each cup of coffee. The completely sealed and food-grade capsule material can maintain the various aromas and flavor characteristics of coffee for up to 12 months.

We made an Americano with the Columbia capsule, and Joyce liked the extended sweet and sour flavor, as well as the delicate nutty sweetness in the first bite.

As for Peru, I just drink the concentrated version in one gulp. The infinite sweetness after the indulgence suits me better.

I can't help but sigh:

"Colombian American fruit acid is delicate,

Peruvian concentrate is as sweet as honey.”
