Cherry, almond and toffee are the stated notes, with sweetness, velvety texture and rich crema. Roast degree, intensity and acidity/bitterness ratings are not published. Cherry is tagged as stone fruit, not red berries. Retailer origins and processes conflict, so this current listing may not match the box in the cupboard. About 40 ml is an espresso suggestion.

Try a small amount of milk if wanted; it may reduce the prominence of cherry. No verified milk tasting was found.

About these notes

These notes use published descriptions. The pods have not been tasted side by side. Sweetness refers to the taste of the coffee, not added sugar. Milk advice is a serving suggestion unless attributed to a producer. Unpublished acidity, bitterness or body details are left unknown. Fruit tags only use stated notes; generic fruit is kept separate, and dried fruit does not specifically mean raisin. Each brand has its own intensity scale; intensity does not measure caffeine.

Cup sizes are suggestions unless marked as published instructions. Start with 40 ml for espresso or 110 ml for lungo. For a weaker espresso, add hot water after brewing rather than running more water through the pod.
