Decaffeinato Volluto (Intensity 4/13)

About Volluto Decaffeinato

The Nespresso Volluto Decaffeinato is a mild, caffeine-free espresso capsule made only for Original Line machines. It mirrors the exact flavour profile of the classic Volluto blend — deliciously light and sweet, like sunshine in a cup — but uses a natural decaffeination process to remove caffeine without altering its character. Also, a fine and accessible 100% Arabica blend of Brazilian and Colombian beans delivers sweet biscuit, cereal and light fruit notes in every 40 ml espresso.

Like Volluto, Volluto Decaffeinato tastes of gentle sweetness and round body with low bitterness and smooth acidity. Nespresso identified the most beloved coffees in each aromatic category and developed their decaffeinated alter egos — the profile was leading, because it is not only taste that makes a coffee a favourite. Suitable for any moment, day or evening.

Product Details

Where the Beans Come From

Volluto Decaffeinato is made from a mix of naturally sweet Brazilian and washed Colombian Arabica beans — the same origins that give classic Volluto its approachable, sunny character. Nespresso identified Volluto as one of the most beloved coffees in its aromatic category and developed this decaffeinated alter ego to preserve the profile that made the original a favourite. The result is a fine, accessible decaf that feels just as familiar as the caffeinated blend it mirrors.

How It Is Roasted

Nespresso uses a split-roasting technique to unlock Volluto Decaffeinato’s sweet, balanced character. The Brazilian beans get a short roast to highlight their sweet cookie flavours, while the Colombian beans are roasted longer but lighter to preserve their fresh, fruity aromas. When combined, the two splits create a harmonious cup with round body and gentle acidity — roast level 2 out of 5.

How It Tastes

This mild decaf espresso is characterised by prominent sweet biscuit, cereal and light fruit notes with a round body, low bitterness and smooth, gentle acidity. Bitterness rates 2 out of 5, acidity 3 out of 5, and roasting 2 out of 5. Because the natural decaffeination process removes caffeine without altering the blend’s character, Volluto Decaffeinato delivers the same deliciously light and sweet experience as classic Volluto — suitable for any moment of the day or evening.

How to Serve It

Espresso (40 ml) — recommended: Brew as intended for the fullest sweet biscuit, cereal and light fruit character in a round, gentle cup.

Ristretto (25 ml): A shorter, slightly more concentrated serve that highlights the sweet cookie notes from the Brazilian split.

Cappuccino: Milk completes Volluto Decaffeinato’s balanced character — enjoy a warming cappuccino with full body, gentle acidity and caramelly biscuit tones.

Latte Macchiato: Layer steamed milk with espresso for a creamy decaf milk coffee with warm, buttery and caramelly notes.

Lungo (110 ml): A longer extraction for a lighter, more aromatic decaf serve with fruity Colombian aromatics.
