Origin
Brown sugar and roasted notes are the signature aromatics of this Vertuo coffee capsule. It’s an intense long black with a distinctly lingering aftertaste and a thick coffee crema.
It’s the Robusta blended into this Nespresso Vertuoline double shot’s Arabica that helps it pack a double punch. Highly roasted Central American coffees give Double Espresso Scuro a smoky character with dark cocoa and subtle vanilla notes. Double Espresso is the optimal blend for coffee with milk or over ice.​
