Product Details

Where the Beans Come From

To craft Barista Creations Flavoured Sweet Vanilla, Nespresso brought a dreamy vanilla flavour into a delicious base blend of Arabica beans from Latin America and Africa. The high-quality Arabicas provide a delicate foundation, so the vanilla character shines without overpowering the cup. As a result, you get a flavoured blend that feels indulgent yet light on the palate.

How It Is Roasted

Nespresso uses a split-roasting technique to maximize sweetness. First, the Latin American beans are medium-dark roasted quickly to lock in their natural sugars. Then, the second split gives this Vertuo flavoured coffee its soft, velvety texture. Because of this, the dreamy vanilla flavouring is carefully infused into the blend right after roasting — not before — so the aroma stays fresh and natural-tasting.

How It Tastes

Expect an incredibly smooth cup with almost zero bitterness or heavy acidity. Sweet Vanilla delights with the classic vanilla flavour combined with sweet biscuit, candied and cereal notes coming from its delicate Arabica base. Also, comforting aromas resemble freshly baked vanilla custard and warm buttery biscuits — a swirl of caramel and vanilla cake in every mug.

How to Serve It

Classic mug: Brew as a Mug / Coffee at 230 ml for the fullest vanilla, biscuit and caramel character with a creamy, sweet finish.

The milk trick: Add a dash of cold milk or creamer to soften the blend further. Because of this, you highlight the vanilla tones and bring forward rich notes of caramel and sponge cake.

Reverso style: For an optimal creamy texture, pour your milk into the mug first, then brew the capsule directly over it. As a result, you get a velvety, dessert-like drink without extra effort.

Iced coffee: Brew over ice with cold milk for a refreshing iced vanilla latte on warm days.
