Nespresso Vertuo Orafio Medium-Roast Espresso Capsules — 50-Count, 40 ml, Light-Bodied & Low Bitterness

Orafio is a medium-roast Nespresso Vertuo espresso capsule that delivers a light-bodied, low-bitterness shot with warm cereal and roasted notes.

Blending Latin American Arabicas with a touch of Ugandan Robusta, the Orafio capsule is crafted for drinkers who want espresso with gentle acidity and a smooth finish. These Vertuo capsules are designed for 1.35 fl. oz. espresso servings and are compatible with Nespresso Vertuo machines only. The roast profile uses a split-roasting technique to balance the bright, darker-roasted Arabicas and the lighter-roasted Robusta, producing a coffee that feels mild yet flavorful.

What flavor profile should I expect from Orafio?

Orafio opens with warm cereal-like aromas and roasted undertones, folding in subtle citrus acidity and a restrained bitterness. You'll notice brown caramel and light spice layers that linger into a pleasant, slightly bitter aftertaste.

• Primary notes: warm cereal and roasted fragrance
• Secondary notes: brown caramel and mild spice
• Finish: long-lasting, pleasant bitter aftertaste
• Body: light-bodied with low overall bitterness

How is Orafio roasted and why does it matter?

The blend uses split roasting: Arabica beans are roasted darker and briefly, while the Robusta receives a lighter, longer roast. This technique highlights sweetness and aromatic depth from the Arabicas while preserving the Robusta’s structure, creating balance without heavy astringency.

• Split-roast method for layered flavor
• Dark shorter roast for Arabica complexity
• Longer lighter roast for Robusta smoothness
• Result: mild sensation with defined flavor notes

Can I prepare milk drinks with these capsules?

Yes — Orafio pairs well with milk. When combined in a latte or latte macchiato, the coffee’s roasted and caramel tones soften, giving prominence to sweet and milky notes for a rounded cup.

• Works well in latte and macchiato recipes
• Milk softens acidity and highlights caramel hints
• Light body keeps milk-based drinks balanced
• Perfect for milder espresso-based beverages

Are these capsules eco-conscious and which machines do they fit?

Nespresso produces these Vertuo capsules with at least 85% recycled aluminum and pursues verified social and environmental standards as a certified B Corporation. Note that Vertuo capsules are incompatible with Original Line machines.

• Capsules: minimum 85% recycled aluminum, infinitely recyclable
• Brand sustainability: Nespresso B Corp certification
• Compatibility: fits Nespresso Vertuo machines only
• Serving size: formulated for 1.35 fl. oz. espresso shots

Who is this for? Orafio is ideal for espresso lovers who favor a gentle, refined shot rather than an intense, bitter extraction. Choose this 50-count pack if you want a consistently mild, layered espresso that adapts well to milk drinks, appreciate sustainable packaging, and own a Nespresso Vertuo machine. It’s a good match for daily drinkers seeking balanced flavor and a long, pleasant finish without heavy body or high bitterness.
