Costa Rica

Costa Rica is a Vertuo single-origin capsule that showcases the renowned coffee heritage of Central America's most famous growing region. At intensity 7, this medium-roast pod brews a 230ml mug that highlights the honey sweetness, malt depth, and cereal warmth that Costa Rican Arabicas are celebrated for. The beans are wet-processed to preserve their clean, sweet character.

The cup is defined by a rounded honey sweetness that feels almost syrupy without being heavy. Behind the honey, you find toasted malt and cereal grain notes that provide a warm, bready backbone. The acidity is moderate at 3, adding just enough lift to keep the sweetness from becoming monotonous. The body is comfortable at 3, and the bitterness is low at 2, making this one of the most drinkable single-origin options in the Vertuo range.

Costa Rica is the single-origin choice for drinkers who want terroir character without the challenging flavors that some origins can present. It is sweet, approachable, and deeply satisfying — the kind of coffee that makes you understand why Costa Rican beans command premium prices worldwide. For a Sunday morning slow pour, this is the pod to reach for.
