ARPEGGIO CAPSULE REVIEW
Even though I like dark roasts, I must admit that Arpeggio is pretty rough upon the first sip. It right away assaults you with its intensity, bitterness and it’s certainly not a coffee capsule for everybody. That said, once you get acclimated with its strong aftertaste, you get the need to have another cup. In terms of taste, it has a light cereal feel to it but what’s most obvious are the cocoa notes; and talking about cocoa, the best way to describe Arpeggio’s experience is like eating a 90% cocoa dark chocolate, whether it’s in terms of taste or bitterness.
COFFEE PAIRING
- Activities: As your first cup of coffee of the day, it will certainly give you a big kick and wake you up almost instantly. Depending on your taste, you might want to follow it with another cup or go with a smoother blend.
- Music: Dark, intense, bitter … it calls for The Cure’s Pornography album.
- Food: Because its strong taste will overpower anything sweet, you should stay within the same flavor range, pairing it with dark chocolate.
