Strong enough for a small latte but still smooth as a straight espresso. You can tell it’s proper roasted coffee, not the flat taste you get with some pods.
Tried a few different capsule brands and keep coming back to the 36th Parallel Eastern. Balanced, clean and consistent. Not too bitter, not too light. Just a really solid Melbourne-style espresso.
I have been drinking chai for many years and tried a few of the well known brands, but I must admit this is the best. I brew for 8 minutes with one table spoon, and then add a sweet soy milk. It works for me on a daily basis.
