Vertuo BARISTA CREATIONS Golden Caramel

About Barista Creations Golden Caramel

The Nespresso Vertuo Barista Creations Golden Caramel is a smooth, flavoured coffee capsule made only for Vertuo machines. It brews a 230 ml Mug and blends 100% Arabica beans from Latin America and Africa with a sweet, comforting caramel aroma. Also, delicate biscuit and pastry notes give you a creamy cup that feels like a little weekend treat any day of the week.

This flavoured blend combines the classic caramel flavour with sweet cookie notes. Nespresso split-roasts the Arabicas to bring out a velvety texture and natural sweetness — roast level 4 out of 10 — so every mug stays mild, cozy and easy to enjoy.

Product Details

Where the Beans Come From

Golden Caramel starts with a sweet, velvety base of Latin American and African Arabicas. First, Nespresso picks high-quality beans that stay mild and aromatic. Then, they blend in a classic caramel flavour on top of that soft coffee foundation. As a result, you get layers of goodness — caramel up front and biscuity warmth behind it.

How It Is Roasted

Nespresso split-roasts this blend to bring out a velvety texture and natural sweetness. The roast level sits at 4 out of 10, so the cup stays gentle and cozy. Because of this, Golden Caramel feels smooth rather than sharp — perfect for a flavoured Mug you can enjoy any time.

How It Tastes

This flavoured blend delights with the classic caramel flavour combined with sweet biscuit notes. You also get pastry-like warmth and a sink-your-teeth-into-the-cake vibe from the biscuity caramel tone. Bitterness and acidity both rate 1 out of 5, while body and roastiness sit at 2 out of 5. Also, each cup has roughly 159 mg of caffeine for a satisfying boost.

How to Serve It

Classic mug: Brew as a Mug at 230 ml for the fullest caramel and biscuit character with a velvety finish.

With milk: Add a dash of milk to boost creaminess and make the caramel and biscuit notes stand out even more. So this is the serve Nespresso recommends most.

Reverso style: Pour cold milk into your mug first, then brew the capsule directly over it. Because of this, you unlock hidden vanilla, nutty and biscuit notes while keeping the classic caramel taste up front.

Caramel latte: Use Reverso style with foamed milk for a sweet, dessert-like caramel latte at home.

Reverso latte: Pour milk first, then brew over it for vanilla, nutty and biscuity layers alongside classic caramel.

Cappuccino or latte macchiato: Use foamed milk with the 230 ml brew for a sweet, dessert-style milk coffee.

Any time of day: Because bitterness is very low, this is a gentle, cozy choice from morning through evening.
