We received Italian coffee capsules from Nespresso labelled freddo delicato and wondered if they were for cold or hot coffee.
I used google translate to confirm. From my days as a sub-editor with IPC women's magazines, I know that you should always check, even if you are 99.9 per cent sure.
UK - cold (adjective and noun, eg cold tap, the cold (noun), the cold weather (adjective) . Similar word Freezing.
Italian - freddo
French - froid
Portuguese - frio
Spanish - frio
UK - hot - (memory aids: similar words using b and c - close, calescent, baking hot, balmy; c pronounced like s - sultry, sweating)
Italian - caldo
French - chaux
Spanish - calor (heat,noun)
Spanish - caliente (hot, adjective)
Portuguese - calor
We tried the new flavour of coffee. It was mild, not bitter, pleasant. Not the wake you up strong coffee some would prefer for first thing in the morning, but good for day, or mid-day. I must admit we shared one capsule between two. But we often do that, and the stronger coffees still taste stronger.
