Vertuo ESPRESSO Orafio | intensity 6/13

About Orafio

The Nespresso Vertuo Orafio is a medium-roast espresso pod made only for Vertuo machines. It scores 6 out of 13 on the intensity scale, so you get a smooth, light-bodied cup with a pleasant bite. Also, warm cereal, brown caramel and a hint of spicy liquorice make this a luxurious espresso worth its weight in gold.

Orafio glows in your cup with roasted notes and a long finish. Because it is low in bitterness with just a hint of acidity, it works well as a classic espresso or with milk.

Product Details

Origins

Nespresso crafted Orafio with Latin American Arabicas — including Brazilian and Costa Rican beans — balanced with Ugandan Robusta. As a result, you get a complex coffee with a delicious caramel note and a long finish. Also, beautiful roasted notes graced by a hint of acidity make this cup feel pure gold on the palate.

How It Is Roasted

This is a split roast with high Robusta content that still feels mild and light. First, Nespresso gives the Arabicas a short, dark roast. Then, the Robustas get a lighter, longer roast. Because of this, the Robusta notes add complexity without harshness — and the blend stays smooth and balanced.

How It Tastes

Warm cereal and caramel notes flow through this Arabica-Robusta blend. It is light-bodied, low in bitterness, and graced with a hint of acidity. You also get surprising spicy liquorice notes and a long-lasting finish. Therefore, Orafio offers a balanced flavour with moderate caffeine for everyday enjoyment.

How to Serve It

Straight espresso: Brew a 40 ml shot black for a traditional espresso with a pleasant bite and low acidity.

With milk: Because Orafio blends beautifully with milk, try a Latte Macchiato. The cup softens to reveal sweet, milky caramel notes.
