OUR REVIEW
With an intensity of 9, Maestro is Rosso Caffe’s second strongest capsule and it pays off, delivering a great caffeine experience. I actually found it to be more subtle than other lighter coffees as it offers more contrast. The first thing you will notice is that it’s a full-body coffee and, as you are taking a sip, the hazelnut flavor clearly reveals itself. Following this smooth opening, then comes the aftertaste, Maestro suddenly revealing its strength and it feels great.
COFFEE PAIRING
- Activities: Good to start the day with a punch, to help you wake up; can also be the focus of your coffee break or accompany your work effort – I enjoy having an espresso cup by my laptop.
- Music: With a title like Maestro, it seems dedicated to classical music – Beethoven coming to mind – but I would clearly pair it with something colorful and bombastic such as Ride’s emblematic “Leave Them All Behind”.
- Food: Because Maestro is strong and tastes like hazelnut, it would contrast well with a soft Swiss milk chocolate.
PACKAGING
Maestro’s box is purple and features some music notes.
It includes two plastic bags containing 5 purple coffee capsules.
