El Salvador
Fruity jam, biscuity and sweet notes from a light-roasted El Salvador in the espresso size. Intensity 5 keeps it gentle. It reads more like a breakfast pastry than a punch.
Pick it if fruity, sweet and fruity jam sound good to you.
Best for Vertuo owners who like soft, sweet espresso
See El Salvador →Bold Blend
A Vertuo mug-size pod with caramel, biscuity and malt notes, and the listing marks it as flavored with caramel and biscuit. Intensity 5 on Nespresso's scale and a light roast, so it's milder than the name might suggest. Ten pods per pack.
Pick it if caramel and malt sound good to you.
Best for Vertuo owners who want a sweet, gentle mug
