Product Details

ORIGIN & STORY

Barista Creations Cioccolatino celebrates the art of flavour pairing. Latin American Arabica beans are sourced from farms that prioritise sustainable practices, ensuring every sip supports environmentally responsible coffee production. Nespresso traces beans from farm to cup, working with local communities to foster quality and transparency through the AAA Sustainable Quality Program.

FLAVOUR PROFILE

This is a flavoured blend with a bold, elegant dark chocolate character complemented by delicate biscuit and cereal notes. The aroma is sweet and inviting, with a rich cocoa presence. On the palate, you will experience a smooth, creamy body with gentle acidity that balances the chocolatey finish. The aftertaste is clean and satisfying, with a lingering hint of nuttiness — especially when prepared as a cappuccino.

BREWING GUIDE

Barista Creations Cioccolatino is designed to shine in multiple brew sizes. For the fullest chocolate note, prepare it as a Lungo (110 ml) — the longer extraction brings out sweet biscuit undertones. Alternatively, brew as a Cappuccino or Latte Macchiato for a decadent, dessert-like drink. The dark chocolate flavour pairs beautifully with frothed milk, creating a luxurious mouthfeel.

WHAT’S IN THE BOX

Each box contains 10 Original Nespresso capsules with 110 ml lungo capacity, compatible with all Original Line Nespresso machines. Capsules are hermetically sealed to preserve freshness and flavour until you are ready to brew. Intensity is not specified, making this a versatile choice for those who enjoy moderate strength with bold flavour.

SUSTAINABILITY

Nespresso is committed to sustainability. Aluminium capsules are infinitely recyclable — return used capsules through the Nespresso recycling programme. Coffee beans are sourced via the AAA Sustainable Quality Program, which partners with farmers to improve quality and environmental stewardship.
