So, I started to try these out.
Hawaii Kona: great. Not a lot of aroma, but very solid taste. Not too bitter without sugar, and not a bit of acidity.
Panama: eh, this one didn't stand out. The aroma is fantastic, smells like red fruits. But the flavor is pretty mild.
I'll work my way towards the fabled Jamaica Blue Mountain and St. Helena. I don't actually have a Nespresso machine at home, so I have to drink these at work or at friends'. I gotta say though, these flow so well from the machine. Off-brand capsules often seem like they're going to jam the machine. These ones are perfect.
Update on the Sea Island Coffee selection:
Galapagos: actually pretty average. Very mild flavor, nothing really stands out about this one in my opinion.
Jamaica Blue Mountain:
I had very high expectations for this one, but it wasn't that special. It was the first one in the selection that gave me some stomach burn, actually. Pretty acidic, and the flavor didn't really wow me.
Kopi Luwak: what an odd one! It tastes great, but... after drinking it, I suffered from some stomach discomfort that lasted for quite a while. I actually felt a little odd for some hours, really. But it
is good. Very unusual taste, rich and strong.
St. Helena: OH. MY. GOD.
Just... FANTABULOUS.
Seriously, coffee can taste like this? After the first sip, I just stood staring at my glass for a few seconds, taking it all in.
This one just spreads in your mouth like no other coffee ever did for me, stimulating taste buds that shouldn't even react to coffee.
Strong flavor, yet light texture. Highly digestible. Leaves a very pleasant aftertaste. Boosted me for a whole morning like few other coffees can.
I'm a firm believer now. This St. Helena coffee is truly a special one. Ridiculously expensive (must be like, 7-8x the price of Nespresso originals?), but great.
