Hello there, welcome to the time of the month where the coffee pods arrived
and before Brewing you a luxurious coffee I want to show you what I've ordered.
So I let my sweet tooth get the better of me this month first up is the
roasted hazelnut blend there.
All pods come in these packs of 10, we have some beautiful artwork there
a little bit more about Nespresso there and their ethos and a little bit about this particular
blend here. So roasted hazelnut, I've tried a couple and they are rather delicious.
We have some nutritional information just there. All right now just describing the Rusted Hazelnut,
230 mil size, it's known as a reverso so if you brew it with cold milk, you get a
more creamy and frothy finish. No Nespresso say this brings the rich caramelized flavour
of roasted hazelnuts, a smooth and a velvety coffee which is a blend of Latin America
and African arabicas, with a deliberate biscuit note
and if I can show you angle pod
of the roasted hazelnut there that's the pod, you have this beautiful design here
with the swirling effect
that is the roasted hazelnut pod there
the first one that was ordered this month. Let's have a look what we have now
I'm not sure whether this is limited edition, but it's certainly a new one,
we have the Starbucks Reserve
remix blend to try this month. Okay I'm going to spend some time showing you the beautiful
artwork here, just going around the box there and they've really captured the cosy Coffee Shop feel
with the style of the artwork and colours there. Excellent. So in terms of intensity of this blend
it's rated 6 out of 11, 80ml size and it has wild berry notes
as described there so if you're interested
there is a little bit of information there. Good sized the 80 ml
okay and I want to show you the pod
so there is the flat part with the information and here is the design quite a simple dark pod there
can show you by doing a 360 there. That is the Starbucks Reserve blend there
okay next up like the roasted hazelnut 230 mil size reverso we have the
rich chocolate blend here
that is the front, quite a plain box, just a little bit of artwork there
again just like the roasted hazelnuts reverso 230 mil volume there
okay and a little bit of information about the rich chocolate blend
in terms of rating, Nespresso give it one out of five for bitterness,
one out of five for acidity and two out of five four roastiness, with a dash of milk,
a rush of nuts and biscuit nuts come to the fore there with your rich chocolate
right and moving on to the fourth blend here which I ordered
now I very much like milky coffees, more often than not, so I like to go with my
altissio there which is a 40 ml shot
quite intense at 9 out of 11.
there are the details for you
okay not much in the way of artwork but a distinctive purple design there for the altissio
and in terms of notes
espresso give it three out of five for bitterness, acidity one out of five,
roastiness three out of five, and Body Is three out of five and for the description cereal note
to come to the fore with a combination of South American and Costa Rican beans there, excellent
and if I am drinking coffee after 1 pm
very much love to opt for the decafinato blends
so we have altissio decaff
exactly the same but lacking the caffeine.
There we go, there are the details for you there excellent
so that's the five I ordered. I just want to show you some of the loose pods which I'm
trying to be Brewing shortly
so we have the 230 mil mug size Mexico blend there. I want to spend some time
showing you the beautiful colours of these pods
it's very attractive there. That's the Mexico mug size
not one of my favourites but the pod is very beautiful, we have the peppermint pinwheel
mug pod size there
just have a little look at the beautiful artwork and
the effort it's gone into creating this pod here
beautiful
peppermint pinwheel
pod there. I think we have two more
lets try this smaller one here, another shot here, 40ml, Orafio. There are the details
and there is the pod design for you, beautiful bronze colour there
okay and for the final loose pod here which I have
another sweet one, this is sweet vanilla mug size 230ml again, beautiful swirling
design there for this particular pod
okay so that's the pods. I'm going to brew you a coffee very shortly,
so I will leave some affiliate links in the video description if you're interested in
purchasing some of the Blends and pods that I use. So let's get through to the kitchen and make you a
coffee. Right so you're in SRPs coffee kitchen, as promised I'm going to make you a beautiful coffee.
Opted for the roasted hazelnut 230 ml mug size. You can observe the beautiful pattern there
okay so I'm going to place the pod in the Nespresso machine just excuse the noises it makes
okay and I'm going to show you how we prepare this as a reverso, so we want some cold
milk there. I've opted for semi-skimmed
Place that there
I can get it this way as per Nespressos
recommendation there. This is going to leave us with a smooth, velvety finish, with a
frothy head hopefully. So I think everything is prepared there. It's going to be making some
rumbling sounds, just bear with it, but as it's happening please observe the beauty of the blend
beautifully bronze like colour at the bottom here, frothy head forming there,
Beautiful in appearance already
Now
just observing the appearance, look at that beautiful tri-colour there.
Okay. Presented beautifully there as a reverso, now I am going to ruin the design, sorry,
because I do like to add a little bit of sweetener or syrup. My favourite
is using a touch of vanilla
vanilla and the roasted hazelnut complement each other beautifully
and give it a little stir there
okay so there is your roasted hazelnut Nespresso coffee, reverso style format
,cold semi-skimmed milk with a touch of vanilla syrup, please enjoy there
okay I'm also going to make you a special bonus herbal tea
okay what am I going to be using? selected chamomile there
going to use a little valerian
and over here, you know this is not Snoop Dogg, this is in fact catnip/cat mint there
okay so let's prepare if the very small spoon there
okay and there's your chamomile there
little Valerian bark here
and you want some catnip
about yay amount
okay now the temperature of the water is just a few degrees below boiling
okay I'm just looking to gently submerge the herbs there
there we go
and lid on
a little swirl there
wont need too long
okay I'm just giving that a few seconds. I'm going to serve this herb tea for you
in this beautifully tinted, stained glass cup
so that will also allow you to observe the blend
so chamomile, Valerian and catnip have infused there. Are you ready? Lets pour
okay, so spoilt for choice now, you have your
roasted hazelnut coffee and your special blend herbal tea there, please enjoy
