Product Details

Where the Beans Come From

Latin American Arabicas deliver a delicious malty toasted cereal note that stands out in this balanced cup. Then, Ugandan Robusta softens the sweetness and adds roundness to the blend. As a result, Double Espresso Dolce stays smooth and mild — an ode to the sweet life. When you want more coffee, not more punch, this blend is a dulcet song to your palate.

How It Is Roasted

This split roast uses two batches for balance. First, Nespresso gives the Arabicas a light, short roast. Then, a second batch combines Arabicas with a touch of Robusta for a slightly longer, darker roast. Because of this, the Robusta adds roundness while the Arabicas keep the sweet, malty character.

How It Tastes

Double Espresso Dolce is full of malty, toasted cereal notes with a smooth, velvety feel. It is mildly sweet and beautifully balanced — not bitter, not harsh. Therefore, it suits anyone who likes a gentle double espresso with a soft, cereal finish.

How to Serve It

On its own: Brew as a Double Espresso at 80 ml for a mellow, smooth cup any time of day.

With milk: Because this blend is mild, it pairs well with milk. So, use it as a base for lattes without adding extra bitterness.

Iced drinks: For example, brew over ice and add cold milk for a refreshing iced latte or iced vanilla latte.
