Gold Arabica is our 100% Arabica blend born in homage to Ethiopia, the land that gave Arabica coffee its origins in its lush high plains. The perfect harmony between the aromatic and sweet Ethiopian coffee and other rare South American Arabica makes us a cup in which we find a pleasant and distinctive aroma of fresh fruit, caramel, and vanilla, having that characteristic persistent sensation; lightly bitter, distinct and clean. An excellent rendition of Italian Espresso. ABOUT CAFFE' CASTORINO- The coffee roasting house Antonio Castorino was established in 1946 by a young Antonio Castorino who launched his business firstly on behalf of a roasting firm in Messina, and later on behalf of an importer in Turin. After having gained wide expertise in the field he established his own small artisanal wood- fired roasting facility in Salerno, Italy. Since then, the coffee has grown to be distributed throughout many regions in Italy with the trademark Caffe’ Castorino and is widely served in shops and cafes. Since the passing of Antonio in 1995, the business has been run by his son Ignazio and his wife Francesca with a constant commitment towards the use of green technology and old-world methods handed down from father to son. This tradition is continued in the careful selection of the best coffee beans sourced from trusted providers with whom strong relationships have been established over the years. The roasting process is dependent upon each separate place of origin following old traditions. The beans are carefully roasted by a qualified expert staff using a techno-ecological transformation process called “Aria Pulita” (Clean Air) that guarantees the total absence of contact between combustion residues and the coffee, thereby ensuring its purity. The blends are then prepared following antique traditional recipes handed down from father to son. The result? A passionately handcrafted, quintessential, Italian espresso coffee with a unique aroma and taste.

Not very good coffee
I don't know if this coffee is good as an espresso but I make Americano's out of almost all of mine and drink it black. So, that's all I can base my review on and it is just a so so coffee. I bought some L'Or Ristretto and Satinato and some Illy Intenso that are excellent made into Americano's but I'm always trying new ones.

Great Flavor!
I've experimented with various brands of capsules since buying my Nespresso machine and so far this is my favorite. Rich, flavorful and satisfying. Just as good as the Nespresso brand of capsules if not better. I'll be buying more of these.

Excellent Coffee!!!
Excellent coffee! Nice thick crema, great aroma and enjoyable strong taste. So happy Caffe’ Castorino is now available in Nespresso Original Line compatible capsules. Also like the high quality packaging which ensures freshness, as every pod is individually wrapped. I start my day with a cup or two every morning!

Worth it! Compatible with Original Nespresso machines
Very good coffee that works with original line nespresso machine. So many of these capsules aren't that nice in taste. Always a risk when you try them and I can confirm other reviews that it is tasty!
