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.
Double Espresso Chiaro is made from South and Central American Arabicas, the balanced intensity best reveals a range of woody and earth notes. Double Espresso is the optimal blend for coffee with milk or over ice.
