BARISTA CREATIONS Vaniglia | 110ml (Intensity 6/12)

About Vaniglia

The Nespresso Barista Creations Flavoured Vaniglia is a custardy vanilla coffee made only for Original Line machines. It blends 100% Arabica beans from Brazil and Colombia with classic vanilla flavour for a warm, fuzzy cup with sweet biscuit and cereal notes. Also, a split-roast and fine grind keep the base smooth and silky — so roasted coffee and vanilla land in perfect harmony.

Inspired by desserts and the cherished memories they hold, Vaniglia is an invitation to treat yourself. When the classic vanilla flavour meets light-roasted Latin American Arabicas, it becomes a sweet memory in the making — delicious black, with milk, or poured over ice.

Product Details

Where the Beans Come From

Vaniglia uses a smooth 100% Arabica base from Brazil and Colombia. First, Nespresso picks naturally sweet Brazilian bourbon beans and lively washed Colombian coffee. Then, master blenders infuse a custardy vanilla flavour into the blend. As a result, the sweetness of Brazilian bourbon and the character of Colombian Arabica become the perfect landing for the complex, warming nature of classic vanilla.

How It Is Roasted

Nespresso split-roasts this blend for balance and aroma. The Brazilian coffee is lightly roasted to keep it smooth and preserve its malted cereal notes. The majority of Colombian beans get a short roast to release finer aromatics. Also, a fine grind adds a glimmer of intensity to this harmonious coffee — roast level 2 out of 5.

How It Tastes

This flavoured blend delights with classic vanilla flavour combined with sweet biscuit and cereal notes from its delicate Arabica base. The mellow, malted cereal character brings a rounded, silky taste that elegantly complements vanilla. Bitterness rates 2 out of 5, acidity 3 out of 5, and body 2 out of 5 — custardy, comforting and never cloying.

How to Serve It

Lungo (110 ml): Brew as a lungo for the fullest vanilla, biscuit and cereal character in a silky cup.

Cappuccino (recommended): Pair with foamed milk for extra creaminess. As a cappuccino, Vaniglia develops more biscuity, caramel and nutty notes on top of its vanilla flavour — and may remind you of your favourite vanilla cake.

Latte Macchiato: Use 40 ml espresso or lungo with steamed milk for a delicate, creamy, lightly sweet serve.

Iced coffee: Brew over ice and add cold milk for a refreshing vanilla treat — delicious as an iced coffee on warm days.

Gran Lungo milk recipe (150 ml): Select the milk recipe setting on compatible Original Line machines for a longer, creamier flavoured cup.
