About Nespresso Cosi
Nespresso Cosi is a mild and delicately toasted coffee that offers a perfect balance of cereal and lightly toasted notes enhanced by subtle fruity undertones. With a light roast, low bitterness, and a silky body, Cosi puts its classic flavour profile and harmonious balance centre stage.
This blend is a carefully crafted marriage of the finest Arabicas from three continents. Costa Rican beans provide a characteristic cereal and lightly toasted foundation, while the finest Kenyan Arabicas lend delicate fruity notes. These are harmonised by Latin American Arabicas, creating a coffee that is both mild and complex.

Origin & Story
Nespresso Cosi is composed of pure Arabica coffees that find their harmony in this delicate blend. The heart of Cosi is an Arabica grown at high altitudes in the mountains of Costa Rica, offering sweet and comforting cereal notes. Kenyan Arabicas give character with their rich and intensely aromatic flavour of red fruits, for which Kenyan coffee is world-renowned.
This light roast is masterfully executed by Nespresso’s expert roasters, preserving the beans’ unique character. The result is a balanced marriage of toasted cereal and subtle fruitiness — an ideal choice for those who prefer a gentle, nuanced coffee.
Every sleeve of Cosi is packed with 10 capsules, each designed to deliver a consistent, high-quality shot. Whether you are new to specialty coffee or a seasoned enthusiast, Cosi offers a gentle introduction to the world of light-roasted coffees.
Flavour Profile
The aromatic profile of Cosi is defined by mild cereal and lightly toasted notes, enhanced by subtle fruity undertones. On the palate, you will find:
- Aroma: Gentle, with hints of toasted grain and fresh fruit
- Acidity: Bright but soft, typical of high-altitude Arabicas
- Body: Light and silky, with a clean finish
- Aftertaste: Pleasant, with lingering notes of honey and cereal
Cosi does not overwhelm — perfect for sipping black or as a base for milk-based drinks. Its low intensity (4/13) makes it an excellent everyday choice.
Brewing Guide
For the best results, use a Nespresso Original machine. Insert the capsule, select the Espresso size (40ml), and let the machine do the work. For a longer drink, try the Lungo setting (110ml) — the light roast stands up well to more water.
Pairing Suggestions: Enjoy Cosi with a buttery croissant, a slice of lemon cake, or fresh fruit. It also complements light breakfast dishes like yoghurt and granola.
To elevate your experience, consider using an Aeroccino3 Milk Frother or Aeroccino4 Milk Frother to create velvety frothed milk for a flat white or latte.
