Summary of what people say: This capsule is an Original Line espresso with a rounded profile that can show creamy milk chocolate, fruit and earth, plus a long aftertaste. Some cups feel smooth and full-bodied, while others seem more bitter or less memorable; it suits drinkers who enjoy a nuanced, lower-acidity espresso more than those seeking a forceful dark roast.

  • Creamy milk-chocolate character can come through
  • Fruit and earthy notes with a long aftertaste
  • Smooth and full-bodied in some cups
  • Bitterness can lead in some cups
  • The profile can feel less memorable than expected
  • Its lighter, nuanced character may not satisfy dark-roast drinkers

What people say

  • I loved the Galapagos Islands LE from earlier this year. ... The Galapagos LE reminded me of Dharkan.

  • It wasn't bad by any means, but it didn't match my tastes, which I should have expected going in.

  • I was disappointed and liked Galapagos better as i thought it was smoother.

    Source

  • It’s a decent cup of coffee, but not all that memorable ... The bitterness is pretty forward and I didn’t pick up on the cereal notes but I do get a slight chocolate flavour in there somewhere.

    Source

  • I really enjoyed this - certainly a lot of flavour. Nice well rounded fruit and earth, and a long aftertaste. I did get some of the mid-tongue bitterness.
