Summary of what people say: This capsule is generally remembered very positively. Drinkers describe a round, balanced coffee in which vanilla appears first and cardamom becomes clearer in the aftertaste; the cup found the cardamom dominant, with pleasant Christmas-like aromas, both plain and with frothed milk. The flavours are delicate and can be overpowered, but the capsule remains a favourite for some.

What people say

  • Vanilla Cardamom: 10/10 This was my favorite! ... At first, all I could taste was vanilla, but the cardamom became apparent a few seconds later.

  • Vanilla cardamom and linzer torte for the original line. So good, wish they would come back!

  • Die erste Sorte, die wir sowohl mit ein wenig Milch (aufgeschäumt) als auch pur verköstigt hatten, ist „Vanilla Cardamon“. Hier dominiert ganz klar der Kardamom und lässt sofort weihnachtliche Gefühle auf der Zunge entstehen.

  • The Vanilla Cardamom coffee capsule is both round and balanced, and it has to be – the flavours in both the vanilla and cardamom are actually quite delicate and can easily be overpowered.
