Nespresso Golden Caramel is a rich and flavorful medium roasted capsule from the Nespresso Vertuo system, brewing a standard cup at intensity 6. Part of the Barista Creations range, this medium roast delivers distinctive caramel, biscuit notes that balances complexity with approachability.

The flavor profile features very low acidity, minimal bitterness, and a light-bodied mouthfeel rated 2 out of 5.
