Colombia

Colombia is Nespresso's tribute to one of the world's most celebrated coffee origins, and this Original line single-origin capsule captures the bright, fruit-driven character that has made Colombian coffee legendary. At intensity 6 with a medium roast, Colombia lets the beans' natural personality take center stage rather than burying it under dark-roast smokiness.

The cup opens with a burst of red berry and stone fruit — think ripe cherry and plum — followed by a citrusy brightness that gives the espresso a refreshing, almost juicy quality. The acidity is high at 4 out of 5, which is the engine driving all that fruit-forward flavor. The body is moderate at 3, providing enough structure to feel like espresso while remaining lighter on the palate than the Italian-style blends.

Colombia is the pod for drinkers who appreciate specialty coffee's focus on origin character and fruit-forward profiles. It is a window into the terroir of late-harvest Colombian Arabicas, grown at altitude and washed to preserve their bright, clean character. If you have ever visited a specialty coffee shop and fallen in love with a fruity single-origin pour-over, Colombia brings that same spirit to the convenience of a Nespresso capsule.
