The Origins
Perfect coffee is no coincidence. Which means we push the boundaries uncompromisingly at every step of the long value chain from tree to cup, deliberately creating our Nespresso Coffee for your pleasure.
Creamy & Caramel
Inspired by desserts and the cherished memories these hold for us, each Barista Creations flavoured is an exquisite coming together of coffee and classic flavours—an invitation to treat yourself. Our master blenders and roasters expertly bring coffee beans and some of the finest flavours together into one cup that holds the power to trigger a rush of beautiful memories.
When the nutty sweetness of the classically decadent caramel flavour meets our base blend of South American Arabicas in Barista Creations Flavoured Caramello, it’s an irresistible invitation to treat yourself. Caramel’s creamy nuttiness has a way of rounding out the coffee’s delicious biscuit note while effortlessly complementing its smooth taste. Our light roasting of the Brazilian and Colombian beans ensures the texture, taste and aromas of the coffee are just right for carrying the unmistakable caramel flavour.
Description
Treat yourself to the flavoured espresso where caramel’s nutty sweetness meets biscuity South American Arabicas.
Roasting
Split roast, the Brazilian coffee is lightly roasted to keep it smooth and with all its malted cereal notes intact, while the majority of the Colombian coffee beans get a short roast to release all their finer aromatics. A fine grind adds a glimmer of intensity to this harmonious coffee.
Aromatic profile
This flavoured blend delights with the classic caramel flavour combined with sweet biscuits and nutty notes.
MILK DESCRIPTION
As a cappuccino, this flavoured coffee gains creaminess while still displaying its classic Caramel note, combined with biscuity, vanilla and nutty notes.
FOR SWEET AND SMOOTH RECIPES WITH MILK
Would you like to indulge? You can really cocoon with BARISTA CREATIONS Chiaro because it was designed for the sweet harmony of coffee with milk. A carefully selected blend of Kenyan and Indonesian Arabicas gets our lightest roast ever, so when you add milk, it reveals those delicious caramel and sweet biscuit notes.
ORIGIN
To find the right fit, we didn’t hold back in testing plenty of coffees from different countries of origin. We discovered that not all coffees interact well with milk or milk froth. But fine Kenyan Arabica does, and we selected it to be part of the Chiaro blend. It’s known for its beautiful balance of citrus acidity and deep juicy fruit notes. We blended it with Indonesian Arabica from the island of Sumatra. Together, they make a decadent pair – exactly what we set our hearts on for this sweet cup made for smooth recipes with milk.
ROASTING
How you roast a coffee plays a big part in whether or not you hit that ideal harmony of coffee with milk. To develop that sweet and inviting taste of Chiaro, we split roast the blend with both splits roasting at a relatively low temperature and for a moderate amount of time - just long enough to develop the coffees’ inherent sweetness.
AROMATIC PROFILE
BARISTA CREATIONS Chiaro has hardly a hint of roastiness, and almost no bitterness or acidity you can perceive. It’s all creamy caramel and sweet biscuit notes when you add milk. The baristas in Brooklyn inspired us in the way their light roast values the natural sweetness of coffee and lends a decadent smoothness to the cup when you add milk. We love it as a Cappuccino, but go ahead and get creative – Chiaro is great as Latte Macchiato too – with cow milk or your favorite plant-based alternative: oat milk, coconut milk or soya milk.

FOR INTENSE YET BALANCED RECIPES WITH MILK
Looking for the perfect balance of coffee and milk? Savor the flavorful coffee character through the sweetness of milk with BARISTA CREATIONS Scuro. The secret to this ideal partnership is in the meticulous split roasting of selected Colombian and Ethiopian Arabicas. Just add milk and the roasted, cereal and nutty notes will glow in your cup in this perfect marriage with milk.
ORIGIN
How many different blends of coffee origins are there? Countless. But not all coffees interact well with milk. So, we couldn’t leave the ideal marriage of coffees and milk to chance. Of all the origins we tried from around the world, we selected some of the finest Colombian and Ethiopian Arabicas for Scuro. The aromatic potential of these two coffees is punchy and promises a harmonious composition of tastes that land with precise balance when you add milk.
ROASTING
The art of roasting calls for a fine balance of temperature, roast time and bean color. Getting it just right is key to striking that great harmony of coffee with milk. We tested lots of combinations until we discovered that to get that ideal flavor balance in Scuro with milk, we needed an extremely contrasted split roasting technique. One part of the blend gets a long and dark roast, and the other is roasted much faster and lighter. When you combine the two, the blend develops that special roasty character that goes so well with the sweetness of milk.
AROMATIC PROFILE
We took our inspiration from the baristas in Melbourne – they are the masters of robust, but exquisitely balanced tastes – their roasting and blending lend an aromatic power poised as the yin to the yang of milk. Our BARISTA CREATIONS Scuro shows you how intense your coffee can get while still staying beautifully in balance with milk. It’s just roasty enough to push through milk, and its delicate sweetness tempers its intensity to make it a compelling intense Cappuccino or Latte Macchiato. Taste it with cow milk or your favorite plant-based milk alternative: oat milk, coconut milk or soya milk.

FOR EXTRA INTENSE RECIPES WITH MILK
Are you craving a punchy shot of robust coffee with just a little touch of sweetness? Take a sip of BARISTA CREATIONS Corto with a dash of milk, and let this powerful, dark roasted blend of African Arabicas and Robusta carry you away with its intense notes of roasted coffee and peppery spice. Enjoy its silky texture and lingering aftertaste.
ORIGIN
To create this intense, rich cup that hits a great harmony with milk, we tested plenty of different coffees from various countries of origin and we discovered that not all coffees interact well with milk. We selected a fine Ugandan Robusta to form the base of the blend. It brings the intensity, thick body and syrupy texture you expect to find in a Cortado recipe. We blend in the finest African Arabicas to complete this powerful profile. The diversity of the coffees in the blend gives it a real depth of character when you add a little touch of milk.
ROASTING
When you roast any coffee, you have to work at that fine balance of temperature, roast time and bean color. But it’s even more important when you want that coffee to be in ideal harmony with milk. For Corto that means split roasting the coffees for a long time in order to unleash the textures we’re looking for in a Spanish-style coffee. The long roast time – where we wait for the bean to reach a dark, rich roast colour – develops an alluring bitterness and that syrupy, thick body.
AROMATIC PROFILE
For BARISTA CREATIONS Corto taste we took our inspiration from the dark roasts and thick textures created by the expert baristas in Spain, that is why it is easily recognizable by its raw strength and intense, roasty character. Corto can punch through milk with its rich aftertaste, elegant bitterness, and a thick, textured body. With a dash of hot milk and milk froth crowning the cup, you’ll experience Corto in the traditional cortado recipe’s way. When you add milk, its sweetness softens the bitter note the way the moon lightens a dark night. Taste it with cow milk or with your favorite plant-based milk alternative: oat milk will be a perfect pair.

INTENSE AND CREAMY COFFEE
This exquisite blend is a true reflection of Florence’s cultural significance: an intellectual hub in the heart of Italy, drawing influences from all over the country. Ispirazione Arpeggio's roasting style brings these influences together by combining fruity notes traditionally found in the North of Italy with cocoa notes from the South, culminating in a velvety, dense and creamy cup. This creation is shared with lovers of pure flavour, even where they prefer a decaffeinated version.
ORIGIN
Ispirazione Firenze Arpeggio is a blend of Latin American Arabicas centred around an inherently malty Costa Rican coffee. All the other coffees used are also Arabica, and that unified taste is as magnetic as Florence during the Renaissance.
ROASTING
A dark and deep roast of Brazil and Costa Rica really pushes the intensity of those cocoa notes. We gave the fruitier coffees a lighter roast for balance in this decaf coffee pod. It's an homage to the complexity of Florence’s roast style. It gives this espresso dolce its gravitas and its class.

POWERFUL AND CONTRASTING COFFEE
A drop of deliciousness: the essence of Italy’s iconic drinking tradition, decaffeinated. Inspired by the ambassadors of all Italian coffees, the ristretto, we chose not to imitate, but to roast our perfect version. Long roasted for body, short for brightness and fruit, this coffee is the culmination of all we explored in the emblematic Italian cup.
ORIGIN
Italians say coffee is all about the four Ms of miscela, macinazione, macchina, and mano. Crafting Ispirazione Ristretto Italiano Decaffeinato with respect for this Italian classic begins with the blend – the miscela. Nespresso Ristretto Decaffeinato is a sophisticated recipe of decaffeinated coffees - both Arabica and Robusta - that each lends its distinct personality to create this iconic Italian taste. We crafted it to reflect the elegance and excellence of Italian culture and coffee. On top of a neutral base of Brazilian Arabica comes a dash of Robusta from South India. It adds a kick to make Ispirazione Ristretto Italiano Decaffeinato our most intense tasting decaf coffee pod. The best of South American and East African Arabicas add a hint of a crisp fruit note to Ispirazione Ristretto Italiano Decaffeinato.
ROASTING
Slow split roasts of these decaffeinated Arabica and Robusta coffees develop all the aromatics and give Ispirazione Ristretto Italiano Decaffeinato its rich, roasted taste. The Italian barista’s second M is the macinazione – a fine grind helps create that iconic Italian taste – it’s intense and profoundly hefty on your tongue. We celebrate Italy’s rich history of master blenders and roasters in Ispirazione Ristretto Italiano Decaffeinato.
AROMATIC PROFILE
Ispirazione Ristretto Italiano Decaffeinato - like the ORIGINal Ispirazione Ristretto Italiano pod - is boldly roasty but balanced out by soft cocoa notes. You may catch some of the subtle acidity and fruity notes that make this Nespresso Decaf capsule so mysteriously complex. It’s a profile worthy of an ambassador – a coffee that explains Italians’ passion for coffee and makes sense of why it’s ingrained in daily life. Extracted to the classic 25 ml, you’ll soon see how right the Italians are – this drop of deliciousness shows how less can truly be more.

HARMONIOUSLY BALANCED AND THICK BODY
ORIGIN
Coffee first came to Italy through the port of Venice. The Venetians developed a finely tuned ability to know their green, unroasted coffee beans and became master blenders. It wasn’t long before Italy’s first coffee shops and coffee houses sprung up here – many with their own roasters serving up their own blends. We wanted to honor this distinct heritage by crafting the Ispirazione Venezia blend to reflect this creativity and know-how. One of Italy’s biggest coffee imports is Brazilian Arabica, and so our experts began here. We blended in reputable, high-grown Arabicas from Central and South America with malty and fruit profiles that develop beautifully during roasting. We chose them because they bring the delicate aromas and rounded taste northern Italian coffee is known for.
ROASTING
This northern trade city is not just skilled in blending, but in roasting too. The coffee roasting tends to be lighter in the north of the country. That’s why we gave the coffees in Ispirazione Venezia a medium roast that lands lighter than what you’ll find in the south but is still remaining dark enough. It gives Ispirazione Venezia that rounded mouthfeel and mellowed acidity with just a hint of bitterness.
AROMATIC PROFILE
Ispirazione Venezia is a mellow, rounded and delicately aromatic coffee that will remind you of coffee beans fresh out of the roaster – taking you back in time to the early days of Italy’s coffee trade. Its lighter roast keeps the delicate aromas intensely present while developing a thick body. In Venezia you can’t miss the distinct cereal fragrance and those notes of sweet caramel that we all find so reassuring.

Latin American coffees were among the treasures they brought back from their explorations. Ispirazione Genova Livanto’s medium roast brings together in a beautiful balance all the rounded flavours of Brazilian, Colombian and Guatemalan coffees, crowned by their classic sweet caramel note.
ORIGIN
True to the character of northern Italian coffee Ispirazione Genova Livanto is an Arabica-centric blend with a complexity of tastes. We began with Brazilian Arabica – an approachable, mellow coffee. Into this base we blended reputable, high-grown Arabicas from Central and South America with malty and fruit profiles that develop beautifully during roasting.

FULL AND BALANCED COFFEE
The fragrance wafting out of Rome’s traditional coffee bars is a testament to a rich history of contrasts: popular tastes, tempered by the capital’s elegance. This complexity is mirrored in a subtle roast, balancing intensity and finesse and deep flavor spiked with hints of acidity.
ORIGIN
To hit the complexity of a classic Roman espresso requires starting with the right blend. The magnetic complexity of a Roman roast comes from its signature 70/30 blend of Arabica and Robusta. Inspired by this style, we crafted Ispirazione Roma to be our coffee with the most finesse. We chose a natural Arabica and Robusta from Brazil to give Ispirazione Roma its deep base. Adding a high-grown washed Arabica coffee from Ixhuatlan in Mexico provides a flourish of acidity and delicate green fruit aromatics. This Mexican Arabica grows in rich and fertile volcanic soils, and it’s processed so carefully - the farmers dry the coffee on what they call ‘raised drying beds’ to protect it from the rains. You can taste the results in the cup. The excellence of these coffees – and the complexity of the blend – are an homage to the beautiful story of ancient tradition and modern elegance that you find in Rome.
ROASTING
When in Rome, your sugar-laced bold and dark espresso with its foamy head of hazelnut-hued crema will taste as strong as the Roman Empire in its heyday. The Romans like their espresso served scalding hot and drunk in 30 seconds, and deeply dark. But we wanted to pay tribute to the chicness of modern Rome, and so we gave Ispirazione Roma a subtle light roast. It balances the intensity and deep flavor of the coffee with that hint of acidity that gives Ispirazione Roma its elegance. A fine grind preserves the coffees’ aromatic finesse. It helps keep Ispirazione Roma strong yet mild – true to Rome’s rich history of contrasts.
AROMATIC PROFILE
From the days of Ancient Rome, a great many cultures passed through this metropolis. Different layers of civilization towering up to the present day when Modern Rome adds its layer of elegance to the rich history of the city. Ispirazione Roma, too, is beautifully complex. There’s a subtle balance between the strength of the roastiness, the depth of the woodsy, cereal notes, and the finesse of the acidity and elegant aromatics. Ispirazione Roma is the ideal coffee if you’re after a bold yet graceful espresso – it’s a classic taste crowned with elegance.

EXCEPTIONALLY DARK AND CREAMY COFFEE
ORIGIN
We created Ispirazione Napoli as a blend of Robusta from Uganda touched with Arabica. We carefully selected coffees that could stand up to the intense roasting this blend calls for – bold coffees that would develop the gritty yet beautiful aromas, tastes, and textures that reflect Naples’ deep-rooted coffee history and traditions.
ROASTING
Ispirazione Napoli’s very dark and intense roast reflects Naples’ traditional dark roasting method. Long ago, you could walk the narrow lanes of Naples and catch the bold aroma of this roast as Neapolitans roast their coffee in the ground floor homes that opened out into the street. During this deep roast, the coffee beans develop gritty yet beautiful characteristics. This is reflected in a thick, velvety body, a creamy mouthfeel, and a delicious bitter note. It takes real skill to roast to such a degree, and the boldness of Ispirazione Napoli’s roast endeavors to be an homage to the skill we’ve long seen in the Italian capital of coffee.
AROMATIC PROFILE
Ispirazione Napoli pays tribute to the short, strong and dark espressos of this southern Italian coastal city – a thing of grit and beauty. It’s a velvety, creamy cup with an extremely thick body and a kiss of pleasant bitterness in its aftertaste.

EXCEPTIONALLY INTENSE AND SYRUPY COFFEE
ORIGIN
Ispirazione Palermo Kazaar ’s daring intensity comes from blending four distinct coffees – it speaks to the multicultural heritage of Palermo. It’s a coastal city sitting on the edge of three continents, with centuries of Arabian, Byzantine and Spanish cultural influence shaping it. We picked four bold coffees to pay homage to this history. Traditionally you’d look only to unwashed Robusta to bring brute strength. And that’s what you’ll find dominating the coffee blends of southern Italy. But our washed Robusta is a rare find that balances out the Ispirazione Palermo Kazaar coffee pod with its clean taste and creamy texture. These Robusta farmers process their coffee with the same care that washed Arabica farmers do. It helps add that elegant touch to the robustness of Ispirazione Palermo Kazaar. The other coffees are Latin American Arabicas that lend a natural sweetness to Ispirazione Palermo Kazaar.
ROASTING
We split roast the coffees to bring out distinct qualities of each coffee in the Ispirazione Palermo Kazaar blend. Most of the Arabica and Robusta get an intense roast to develop their bitterness and body. We give the unwashed Robusta a shorter and lighter roast to bring out some of the finer aromatic notes. Ispirazione Palermo Kazaar ’s roast style reflects the Arab and African influence you see across southern Italy’s dark and intense coffees.
AROMATIC PROFILE
Did you catch the scent of spice drifting across the waters from Africa? You’ll taste the audacious bitterness and peppery notes leaping out through the thick syrupy body. Together the Arabica and Robusta balance each other out in this espresso. It reflects both the Palermo coastal lifestyle and its rich history. You can sit back in the sun and enjoy your Ispirazione Palermo Kazaar on the terrace, with everything from the food on your plate to the architecture surrounding you whispering the histories of all who’ve passed through Palermo.

Master Origin Colombia with Late Harvest Arabica uses only high-grown, washed processed Colombian Arabica. Can you taste the lively acidity and the burst of winey red fruit aromas? That comes from those coffee farmers who dared to wait longer before harvesting their crop.
ORIGIN
Only Colombian Arabica goes into Master Origin Colombia with Late Harvest Arabica. With the coffee production in Colombia the farmers use mostly wet coffee bean processing. The Arabica coffees they produce for this Master Origin are no exception. The difference is that they harvest some of the coffee cherry later than usual. Almost deep purple coffee cherry hang heavy on the branches - the fruit sugars seeping deeper into the heart of the coffee bean with every day that passes. Knowing when the time is ripe is the skill. And these farmers aren’t a day too late - nor a day too soon. The reward in venturing into this challenging coffee farming technique is in the cup - Master Origin Colombia with Late Harvest carries the distinct lively acidity and winey red fruits taste of late harvest coffee.
Roasting
A short roast at medium temperatures keeps the deep and delicate aromatics of Master Origin Colombia with Late Harvest in balance.

Master Origin India with Robusta Monsoon gets its intense, woody, spicy aromatics from the monsooned Robusta blended into Indian Arabica. Monsooning coffees is unique to India’s southwest coast. Months of monsoonal winds repeatedly swell and dry the beans. It mimics the journey it used to take when sailing to Europe.
ORIGIN
The coffees in Master Origin India with Robusta Monsoon are a mix of plantation Arabica coffee and Robusta Monsoon - both grown in India’s southern highlands. Traditionally the Monsoon coffee process is only done on Arabica coffee but monsooning Robusta gives Master Origin India with Robusta Monsoon even more body and brings in tempered woody notes. There’s nothing like it. But monsooning calls for diligence after the coffee harvest - up to three months of regularly raking the beans to ensure only the best aromas develop in the coffee.
ROASTING
We split roast this coffee with a medium and a slightly shorter roast. This coffee roasting process on this Arabica Robusta blend keeps the distinct Arabica and Robusta characteristics alive.
AROMATIC PROFILE
Master Origin India with Robusta Monsoon owes its wild taste to the unique monsooning process. When the coffee beans spend months face to the wind, they develop a distinct woody, savory, spicy taste - as thick and lingering as sea mist. A powerful cup.

If Black Honey processing were the easy road to a nectarous coffee, they’d all do it. But only a few farmers dare. It’s a rare process because it calls for meticulous monitoring. Master Origin Nicaragua with ‘Black-Honey’ processed Arabica contains this coffee. It gives this Nicaraguan Arabica its smooth honeyed texture and sweet cereal notes.
ORIGIN
During coffee production, the Arabica coffee cherry’s fruity outer flesh is removed and the coffee beans are spread out to dry in a thin layer. It’s just as it is with natural process coffees, except with Honey process coffee almost all the sticky mucilage is left hugging the coffee bean. With daily diligence they rake and rotate and mix these incredibly sticky coffee beans to make sure only good flavors develop. The fruit’s natural sugars go deep into the heart of the bean during this time of drying. They call it the Black Honey process - mastering it produces that satiny sweetness for those who go the extra mile.

RICH AND WOODY COFFEE
Master Origin Indonesia Wet-hulled Arabica is a race against rain. Sumatran farmers wet-hull their coffee because of the humid climate. They remove the parchment when the coffee is soft and moist because exposed beans dry faster. The method is unique to them and produces the classic Indonesian taste - velvety thick, wildly aromatic, notes of cured tobacco.
Origin
The Sumatran coffee farmers let the pulped beans sit overnight to ferment before they rinse the skin clean and let the beans dry for a day. Then they hull off the parchment so the heat and bouts of sunshine can dry the beans quickly. This rapid drying method creates that one-of-a-kind Indonesian coffee taste. Master Origin Indonesia contains only Fair Trade Indonesian Arabica processed in this unique way.
Roasting
The coffee roasting process we use is a split roast method - with a medium and slightly shorter roast. Split roasting this Sumatra coffee gives a great complexity of aromatic notes in the cup.
Aromatic profile
It’s the coffee production, the unique coffee farming methods, that make this a classic Indonesia coffee - Master Origin Indonesia wet-hulled Arabica has a thick and rich, velvety body. It’s wild in its cured tobacco notes and you’ll get whiffs of tropical woody aromas.

Light-roasting classic coffees keeps their distinguished aromatics alive. Cosi meets your palate with a smile. It’s a blend of world-renowned washed Arabicas - from East Africa and Central America. Kenya brings the jammy ripe, red fruit notes to Costa Rica’s rich, sweet cereal base.
ORIGIN
The Nespresso Cosi capsule was designed to be your classic coffee. It’s made up of pure Arabicas that simply sing together in the blend. The heart of Cosi is a high-grown Arabica coffee from Costa Rica’s mountains. Coffees from here have a trusty sweet cereal note. A splash of Kenya adds soul with that intensely aromatic rich, red fruit flavor it’s famous for.

SWEET AND LIGHT COFFEE
SWEET AND LIGHT COFFEE
Sweet and light. Delightfully balanced cereal and fruity notes. Volluto has an easy way about it. And Volluto Decaffeinato is faithful to form - Brazilian and Colombian coffees are carefully composed and now gently decaffeinated - for very sunny living.
ORIGIN
Just as with the original, Volluto Decaffeinato is a blend of pure Arabicas from Latin America. The gentle decaffeination process removes the caffeine naturally - but you won’t get any dramatic change in character. We still play with all the parameters of blend, roast and grind to get Volluto Decaffeinato to match the original Volluto Arabica coffee blend as closely as possible. So you’ll still get the mellow cereal notes of the Brazil beneath a soft hint of acidity and the red fruit notes of the washed Colombian.
ROASTING
Volluto Decaffeinato is split-roasted to bring out the unique characteristics of each coffee. A short roast unfolds the sweet biscuit notes of the Brazilian Arabica. The finer fruit aromatics you taste from the Colombian Arabica coffee are developed in its longer light roast.
AROMATIC PROFILE
This Nespresso decaf espresso is sweet and smooth, rich and round, just like Volluto - but without caffeine. The balanced light taste of Volluto Decaffeinato makes for very sunny living.
Ingredients and Allergens
10 Volluto Decaffeinato capsules of decaffeinated, roast and ground coffee for the Nespresso System.
