Don Francisco's Old Havana Espresso Pods — Intensity 8, Medium-Dark Roast, 40 Aluminum Capsules (Nespresso Original)

Experience the bold flavors of Don Francisco's Old Havana Espresso Pods, designed for Nespresso Original Line machines. Our Intensity 8, a medium-dark roast, delivers a robust cup with nutty sweetness and subtle citrus notes, finishing smooth and satisfying. These capsules are designed to preserve freshness and aroma from the first grind to the last sip. Each sleeve contains 40 aluminum capsules that lock in flavor until you brew.

From the family-owned tradition dating back to 1870, Don Francisco's quality is shaped by careful bean selection and thoughtful roasting. Each pod is crafted from premium 100% Arabica beans, chosen for consistent aroma and a balanced, full-bodied finish. The aluminum capsule acts as a protective barrier against oxidation, helping ensure your espresso remains consistent across cups and over time.
