Nespresso VertuoLine Coffee, Giornio, 10 Capsules

The Giornio Nespresso pod description states that it first expresses toasted cereal notes and yes although I am by no means a coffee sommelier, I have been spending a lot of time lately thinking about the flavor notes in coffees and I agree with this, as my first thought was that it tasted like a dry, sweet plain cookie.Which is quite a pleasant flavor first thing in the morning.However, according to Nespresso it is followed by a subtle white floral notes awakened by the acidity of Kenyan Arabica.I won’t say that I drink this coffee and immediately think, “Oh yes, most certainly, the subtle white floral notes are rather forthcoming in this cup, methinks!” but that said, it is a bit on the weak side for me so if by white floral they mean delicate and light I agree. Flavor wise it is a tiny bit on the weak side for my particular palate.I would agree with the “acidity of Kenyan Arabica” It does have a little acidity, which is not sour or sharp. It has a slight tang and is a fresher, less creamy- rich flavor to me, than say the Melozio pod.Gionio is also described as a morning blend. I know a lot of people want a milder roast that doesn’t pack a huge flavor punch in the morning, but I am not one of those people. When I roll out of bed all I can think of is downing a rich, medium-strong cup of coffee that doesn’t make me feel like I just licked an ashtray but isn’t a gentle stroll in a flower garden either. I want a rich and creamy coffee that is an eye opener rather than a punch to the head followed by heart palpitations with a stale cigarette aftertaste. Some people might enjoy that (my husband for example), but they (and him) are made of stronger stuff than I am.This Giornio pod is a bit weak in flavor intensity for me. It is listed as Intensity – 4, whereas my go-to pod (Melozio) is Intensity – 6. Actually, all of my favorite Nespresso pods are intensity 5 and 6 so now that I have tried all the pods, the intensity rating which I didn’t pay much attention to at first, has turned out to be an excellent indication of the ones that I will enjoy. Once you find one pod that isn’t too strong tasting or too weak for you, then you should be pretty safe buying others with the same intensity rating, plus or minus 1. Unfortunately, Nespresso doesn’t provide detailed information on the exact caffeine content of any given pod. Instead, stating that each 7.77oz coffee contains between 120-200mg caffeine per cup. Nespresso states that the intensity rating isn’t related to the caffeine content.So, I don’t know whether this pod is weaker in caffeine than some of the others, but it is a lightly flavored pleasant morning blend that I am sure many people will very much enjoy.I have also reviewed some of the other Nespresso Vertuoline pods (I’m working my way through them and trying to post a review for all of the pods, so if this review is helpful to you, and you are wondering which pod to try next, simply click on my profile and scroll down my reviews to find my other Nespresso Vertuoline pod reviews.

There may be another one that spikes your interest outside of my personal top favorites, there are some other great pods too that I also enjoy.No matter how great a coffee is, sometimes I just want something a bit different to wake up my taste buds. It has been a lot of fun working out which ones I like and why, but it is easier on the wallet now I know what to look for in a pod.

I spend a lot of time on my reviews because there is a lot of junk out there and I like to think that my reviews help filter out the crap for other like-minded buyers who are hunting for the same products that I am :) It makes it worthwhile when I see that people have been helped by my reviews.Happy coffee drinking :)

Great flavors. Fast shipping. No issues at all.

These are my favorite flavor of all and I use them as a treat some days. Everybody in the house likes this one but it has a longer ship time which is annoying because we often go through them faster than we realize, spoiled I guess@

I’ve tried tons now that I have a Nespresso and this is one of my favorites. It’s not to flavored just nice and smooth.

I ordered these, loved them and ordered again. They never came. So disappointed

I absolutely love these pods! They are so easy to use, and they have a bold and complex flavor! They create the perfect amount of caramel foam at the top, and can be enjoyed by themselves, or with some steamed milk! A go to purchase for me on the regular

One of my wife’s favorite flavors. She loves it, therefore I love it.

Nespresso is not for the faint of heart lol The chocolate coffee is really amazing, and I use almond milk, warmed in the accessory to the coffee machine - top it off with a little nutmeg. Holidays in a cup!

It's good coffee. Not much else to say. Pricing is good.

Too bad the c

Delicious & Tasty! No fuss 😁

The flavour is exactly what I wanted

El producto excelente, el vendedor sube el precio exorbitantemente del producto, de 17 pesos a 88, no me di cuenta del abuso en precio.🥲
