WORLD EXPLORATION Stockholm Fortissio Lungo | intensity 8/13

About Stockholm Lungo

The Nespresso World Explorations Stockholm Lungo is an intense, intensity-8 lungo capsule made only for Original Line machines — inspired by Sweden’s distinctive coffee culture. Swedes are among the world’s biggest coffee consumers, and wandering around Stockholm you’ll often find intense black coffees with a malty savoury note from distinctive Monsoon Arabica. Also, Stockholm Lungo recreates that aromatic profile by coupling Monsooned Malabar with Colombian Arabica for a smooth, monsooned lungo with remarkable intensity for a pure Arabica.

Stockholm Lungo is a coffee with sweet cereal and malty toasted notes that lies beneath a veil of acidity and lively bitterness. In the age of sailing ships, Indian Malabar Arabica beans were exposed to monsoon winds after harvest to reveal a distinguished aromatic profile — salty, malty and full of character. Nespresso honours that chapter of history by blending monsooned Indian Arabica with high-altitude Colombian Arabica for a rich, seductive cup beloved by Swedish palates.

Product Details

Where the Beans Come From

Stockholm Lungo uses a rich combination of beans from Colombia, Costa Rica and India. The Indian Arabica undergoes a particular monsooning process that defines this coffee’s sensorial profile — beans are stored on India’s south-west coast and left to the monsoon winds to modify their structure, gaining a salty, malty character. High-altitude Colombian Arabicas bring a touch of sweetness to this 100% Arabica blend, creating remarkable intensity with a smooth, pure Arabica cup.

How It Is Roasted

The Monsooned Arabica gets a darker roast to enhance its body and cereal notes. A lighter roast of the washed Colombian coffee means all the classic finer aromatics stay in balance. This split-roast approach delivers sweet cereal and malty toasted notes beneath a veil of acidity and lively bitterness — roastiness rates 4 out of 5, among the darker roasts in the World Explorations range.

How It Tastes

Stockholm Lungo is rich with sweet cereal and malt notes, lifted by lively aromatics. Sweet cereal and malty toasted notes lie beneath a veil of acidity and lively bitterness on a round, smooth texture with exquisite fullness on the palate. Bitterness rates 3 out of 5, acidity 2 of 5, and body 3 of 5. Paired with milk, this coffee reveals additional sweet biscuit and toffee notes.

How to Serve It

• Lungo (110 ml) — recommended: Brew as a lungo for the fullest sweet cereal, malty toasted and cocoa character — the serve this capsule was designed for.

Frequently Asked Questions

Machine and Brew Size

What machine works with Stockholm Lungo?
These capsules work only with Nespresso Original Line machines, including CitiZ, Gran Lattissima, Essenza, Pixie and De’Longhi Lattissima models. They do not work with Vertuo machines.

What brew size should I use?
Nespresso recommends Lungo (110 ml) for the best Stockholm Lungo experience. This is a lungo-format capsule designed for a longer 110 ml extraction.

Is Stockholm Lungo the same as Stockholm Fortissio Lungo?
Yes. Stockholm Fortissio Lungo is the earlier name for this blend within the World Explorations range. Both refer to the same Monsooned Malabar and Colombian Arabica lungo at intensity 8.

Taste and Pairings

What does Stockholm Lungo taste like?
You get sweet cereal and malty toasted notes with cocoa and intensely roasted character, a veil of acidity and lively bitterness on a smooth, full-bodied cup.

Is Stockholm Lungo good with milk?
Yes. With milk, biscuit and toffee notes emerge on top of the malty cereal base — delicious as a café au lait or cappuccino.

What is monsooned coffee?
Monsooning is a traditional Indian process where Arabica beans are exposed to monsoon winds on the coast after harvest. The humidity and wind modify the bean structure, creating the distinctive salty, malty character Swedish coffee lovers cherish.

How does Stockholm compare to Paris Espresso or other World Explorations?
Stockholm is a lungo at intensity 8 with malty monsooned character. Paris Espresso is milder at intensity 6 with citrus and biscuit notes. Try Cape Town Envivo Lungo for a Robusta-boosted African profile, or Vienna Linizio Lungo for a smoother, lighter morning cup.
