The Balanced Cup — Between Robust and Aromatic
The "Balanced Cup" strikes a balance between subtle qualities and hearty qualities. This is achieved by a mixture of Arabica beans and Robusta beans in a blend, favoring Arabica. The usual mixture is in the neighborhood of 80% Arabica and 20% Robusta. Arabica, having fine, yet delicate, qualities can be enlivened with the right amount of quality Robusta. It's sort of like Emeril when he goes "BAM!" and kicks it up a notch.
See the article in our PODcast Issue #43: "The Balanced Cup" , for more information.

Package of 20 single-serving (7 gm) ESE espresso pods.
Exclusive artisan brand not available elsewhere in the U.S. Rialto is a blend
of unusual and costly varietals, and is lightly roasted — resulting in more of the
original flavor of the beans (see "The Roastest with the Mostest "). Taste-wise, it is a premium espresso pod,
but the price is not at all premium. We consider it to be one of our best offerings.
The Rialto espresso pod is a blend of Arabica coming
from the Crystal Mountain of Cuba and washed Robusta
coming from the Taneerullah plantation in India.
Both the origins are of exclusive import.
Rialto pods are the same as Nero Doge whole bean blend.
