Nespresso Master Origin India, Intensity 11. Woody, spicy, dark. If your usual espresso feels too polite, this is the one.

Overview

India is one of the few coffees Nespresso bothers calling out by origin, and it earns the badge. The blend leans on monsooned Robusta, where green beans sit through India's monsoon season and pick up a deep, almost earthy character that doesn't show up anywhere else. The result is a heavy, dark espresso that doesn't apologise for itself.

Tasting notes

How to brew

Drop a capsule into any Nespresso Original Line machine. Pull it as a 25ml ristretto if you want it loud, or a 40ml espresso for a slightly tamer cup. Adding milk works, but it's a shame to bury the spice.
