Blind Assessment

(As brewed in a Senseo single-serve brewing device in a Podhead Sensation 62mm pod at a cup volume of 5 ounces): Sweet, round, fairly deep aroma with hunts of chocolate and cherry. In the cup the chocolate and tart cherry notes grow more distinct, complicating a rather rich, sweetly balanced cup and carrying into the clean, round finish.

Notes

The Senseo single-cup brewer (www.senseo.com), first introduced in Europe and manufactured by Philips Electronics, is a well-established and sturdily straightforward device. Podhead is a one-stop Internet shopping site for paper-format pods, both branded espresso pods as well as two series of its own non-espresso pods, the 44mm Arabica Express pods designed for the Melitta One:One and compatible brewers, and the Arabica Express Sensation 62mm line designed for Senseo, Black & Decker, Mr. Coffee, and other compatible brewers. Visit www.podhead.com for more information.

Who Should Drink It

Excellent choice for those coffee drinkers who prefer a naturally sweet, low-acid cup.
