OUR REVIEW
With an intensity of 10, Etiopia Blend Forte is Gourmesso’s strongest capsule, along Ristrerro Blend Forte. While this could scare some casual espresso drinkers away, this capsule feels surprisingly smooth, this coffee focusing on showcasing its light citrus flavor, rather than fully assaulting you with its intensity which is revealed in the aftertaste. While Etiopia Blend Forte isn’t as strong and flavorful as Nespresso’s strongest capsules, it delivers an enjoyable caffeine kick, whether it’s as an espresso or as a cappuccino.
COFFEE PAIRING
- Activities: A good choice to wake you up but because of its strength, you might want to limit yourself to a couple cups, as you will certainly feel its caffeinated effect.
- Music: Some dark, heavy tunes definitely come to mind for that one, Alice In Chains being a good candidate to accompany your caffeinated experience.
- Food: Work well with something not too sweet, more particularly toasted white bread with butter.
