[EU Import] Nespresso OriginalLine: Dharkan and Kazaar Assortment, 20 Capsules - ''NOT compatible with Vertuoline''

Yum! Currently these two are my favorite Nepresso pods besides Indriya, so it's great to find them bundled together for an easy one touch purchase. I've given up ordering on the Nepresso site as the site is so cumbersome & not user friendly - I never seem to get the quantity right on their site the first try & have to either add more or take some away to fit their arbitrary ordering standard. Plus here on Amazon I have my prime shipping so why bother. Anyways, I love these two because they're very strong, an 11 & 12 on the Nepresso intensity scale (which I thought only went to 10,so I was very surprised by those values!). I'm not a fancy or sophisticated enough coffee drinker to describe coffee with words such as nutty, chocolaty, hints of cinnamon & marionberries or anything like that. I can say that there is definitely something different in the taste besides just the intensity. A certain richness... Definitely different qualities to both of them.However, my amusing friend at elitist review dot com has a lot to say about these two coffee pods, and while a bit wordy I've copied some of it below for your reading pleasure.. ." Darkan Nespresso coffee pod...This is a blend of Arabica beans from Latin America and Asia, slowly roasted at a low temperature.The nose is powerful yet has finesse to the aromas. They are drippingly seductive. It has a smooth crema which eats into your teeth at an appropriate rate. The palate is certainly strong yet lustfully desirable. This is a rubber-clad minx with holes in all the right places. You want it, you really do, I know I do and I've got a cup in front of me. I'll drink it now. The complexity of flavours is really impressive for a coffee so strong; the minx has a imaginative array of implements. Dharkan is without a doubt the very best coffee I have ever had with nothing, even Indriya, coming close. The lewd attractiveness of its sophistication and intellectual thrills of what you know it's going to do to your rude bits" Kazaar Nespresso coffee pod...."This coffee is a blend of Robustas from Brazil and Guatemala and a separately roasted Arabica from South America. It's easy to be sniffy about Robusta beans but if you don't like a bit of rough now and then you are not experiencing life's rich, full palate of pleasures.This has a dark, intense nose of cocoa, pepper and toasted cereals. This is going to hurt, OH YES! The crema has a sharp, bitter bite of incredible intensity. That's good. The coffee itself has a strong, peppery bitterness balanced by a rich, unctuous density. It's a muscly bint who's going to work you over good, but I assure you you'll enjoy every moment. It may be a strapping beauty, but beauty it is. Within those ripped and cut lines there is an intricacy of carefully delineated blood vessels flavours that keep your interest burning as you get pummelled by its incredible power. The flavours persist for an incredible period and almost leave you exhausted as they do. Kazaar is a great, great coffee, and I shall drink mine with enthusiastic vigour, but if you want ultimate brilliance my money is with the Dharkan"Summary: if you like strong & intense espresso absolutely give these a try & likely they'll become your latest favorites too...

LOVE both of these, they are my two favorites of all the Nespresso coffees. Even better than the Ristretto.FYI, the Kazaar has the most caffeine (125g) but that's not why I like it. Both of these have a rich deep dark flavor that is not acidic. I have a Pixie Nespresso machine and it gets a lot of use. It creates a great crema. Also very good in lattes since they are bold enough to hold up to the milk.Highly recommend these two. I am not fond of the three flavors they offer they seem a little chemically to my taste. But really Nespresso original line coffee is superior in every way. But of course, we all have different tastes.

I really liked the Kazaar. The Dharkan was just okay. I dislike that many of Nespresso's better priced package deals include flavored coffee and that the price to buy strong espresso alone, like Kazaar, is .75 per pod on their site. Obviously, I don't speak for all coffee lovers, but for me flavored coffee isn't in the same category as espresso.

I have been searching for a Nespresso capsule variety that has the flavor that the old Arpeggio capsule had before it changed earlier this year. I was hopeful that one of these might be the one. Glad I only bought one sleeve of each, as neither has the flavor I desire. They are both too bitter. The old Arpeggio was very strong but had a wonderful flavor...I will keep searching.

Coffee tastes excellent and machine fit is obviously perfect as these are official. Wish they were slightly cheaper though

Came on time exactly as described. My husband likes them and they work well.

Excellent way to try two excellent coffees in your machine. I prefer the Kazaar dropped into cold milk. Very tasty.

There were no outward signs of damage to the package but several of the pods are crushed and I don’t know if they will be usable. Very disappointed.
