Nespresso Vertuo Orafio Espresso Capsules – Medium Roast, 50-Count Pack

Meet Orafio: a balanced Vertuo espresso

Orafio brings warm cereal and roasted notes into your cup, inviting subtle complexity into your daily ritual. This Vertuo pod blends Latin American Arabicas with a touch of Ugandan Robusta, delivering a light-bodied espresso with low bitterness and a gentle acidity for a nuanced finish.

Flavor profile at a glance

From the aroma to the aftertaste, you’ll notice a combination of liquorice, brown caramel, and light spice. The two-split roast yields depth without heaviness, culminating in a pleasantly lingering character that invites the next sip.

• Liquorice, brown caramel, and subtle spice notes
• Light body with a delicate acidity
• Long, pleasant bitter aftertaste for a defined espresso bite

When used in a Latte Macchiato, Orafio softens into caramel sweetness and silky milk tones, while preserving a clean coffee character that remains recognizable as espresso.

• Milk-based drinks with creamy balance
• Brightens milk-forward beverages without overpowering them

Roast approach and sustainability

The roast strategy is a thoughtful two-split process: Arabicas are dark-roasted early, while Robusta beans are roasted lighter and longer in the second batch. This creates a layered profile that stays lively without becoming harsh.

As a certified B Corporation, Nespresso emphasizes responsible practices across social and environmental performance. The capsules are composed of at least 85% recycled aluminum, designed for recycling programs that help minimize waste where available.

Brewing with Vertuo machines

Each capsule yields about 1.35 fl oz of a traditional espresso when brewed with a Vertuo system, delivering a classic shot crowned with crema. Important note: Vertuo capsules work with Vertuo machines only and are not compatible with Original Line machines.

Ideal use cases

Orafio suits energetic mornings, mindful sipping, and milk-forward drinks alike. It serves as a solid base for caramel-forward beverages or a crisp espresso enjoyed solo, with enough brightness to keep it engaging through the day.

• Morning espresso with balanced character
• Milk-based drinks that highlight caramel notes

Why choose Orafio

If you value a light yet expressive espresso with a touch of sweetness, Orafio offers a versatile starting point for a range of drinks without overwhelming bitterness. The blend and roast approach are designed to stay approachable cup after cup.
