Vertuo BARISTA CREATIONS Roasted Hazelnut

About Barista Creations Roasted Hazelnut

The Nespresso Vertuo Barista Creations Roasted Hazelnut is a flavoured, medium-roast coffee capsule made only for Nespresso Vertuo machines. It features a sweet, velvety base of Latin American and African Arabica beans that are split-roasted to maximize sweetness and texture. Also, classic grilled hazelnut flavour combines with rich notes of praline, biscuit and caramel for a smooth cup with almost no bitterness or heavy acidity.

This flavoured blend delights with its classic grilled hazelnut flavour, complemented by notes of biscuits and caramel. Nespresso master blenders highly recommend enjoying it with a splash of milk — because milk transforms the brew into a creamy treat that amplifies the grilled hazelnut, praline and caramel biscuit notes.

Product Details

Where the Beans Come From

Roasted Hazelnut builds on a sweet, velvety base of Latin American and African Arabica beans. Brazilian Arabica brings roundness and balance to the cup, while Ethiopian Arabica adds delicate aromatic finesse. As a result, the hazelnut flavour sits on a refined foundation that feels smooth and indulgent without overpowering the coffee.

How It Is Roasted

Nespresso split-roasts this blend to maximize sweetness and texture. The technique develops natural sugars in the Arabicas while keeping the cup soft and velvety. Because of this, the hazelnut flavouring is added post-roasting — not before — so the grilled nut character stays fresh, natural-tasting and true to the Barista Creations promise.

How It Tastes

This flavoured blend delights with its classic grilled hazelnut flavour, complemented by notes of biscuits and caramel. You get a smooth, velvety texture with low bitterness and acidity — rated 1 out of 5 for both by Nespresso. Also, praline-like sweetness and warm biscuit undertones make every mug feel like a creamy, nutty treat.

How to Serve It

Classic mug: Brew as a Mug at 230 ml for the fullest grilled hazelnut, praline and caramel biscuit character.

Reverso style (recommended): Pour 100 ml of milk into your mug first, then extract the Roasted Hazelnut capsule directly over it. As a result, milk amplifies the grilled hazelnut, praline and caramel notes into a creamy, dessert-like drink.

Chocolate finish: After brewing Reverso style, dust the crema lightly with chocolate powder for an extra indulgent finish.

Coffee Creations mode: Double-click the coffee button until it blinks turquoise for a richer, more concentrated 80 ml Double Espresso extraction — perfect for bold hazelnut flavour in a smaller cup. Note: this mode excludes Vertuo Plus and Vertuo Evoluo machines; an app update may be required.

Brewing Recommendations

Any time of day: Because bitterness and acidity are both low, this is a gentle, indulgent choice morning through evening.
