Taste profile

Intensity
4/13

A slow steep on this Vertuo coffee pod means its floral aromatic profile stays in full bloom. Vertuo Aflorazio is a Gran Lungo coffee with a mild but fragrant crema, delicate floral and blueberry aromas, and just a hint of a heady musk note.

Flavour notes

About this coffee

Origin

A very aromatic coffee, Aflorazio is composed of unwashed Ethiopian Arabicas bringing forth a wild touch, and of unwashed East African Arabicas to bring more delicate and refined flowery notes to the coffee.

Roasting

Split roasting the Arabica coffees in this Vertuo coffee capsule keeps all those floral aromas in play. The Ethiopian coffee gets a light, medium length roast to bring out those wild notes.

Light and long roasting the other East African coffees keeps the delicate aromas intact.

4.3/5

from 8 opinions

Summary of what people say: The capsule is a good match for drinkers who enjoy lighter, fruit-led coffee but carries some extraction and preference risk.

  • Delicate, light profile with blueberry and dark-chocolate associations
  • Works well as a gran lungo and with a splash of milk
  • Some drinkers call it a favorite or otherwise highly satisfying
  • The blueberry character is not perceived by everyone
  • The lighter profile may disappoint drinkers seeking a heavier cup

What people say

  • Recently I got a sleeve of Aflorazio based on the Nespresso's own description: "typical of East African Arabicas the flowery and blueberry notes ...."

  • Today I got an email from Nespresso stating that the Aflorazio is leaving the permanent range.

  • A few months ago I got my first Nespresso Vertuo and Aflorazio became my favorite capsule.

  • I’m also very disappointed. Not finding a replacement, I ‘m searching elsewhere. Nothing else satisfies! Perfect in all ways.

  • Stormio is my favourite Vertuo Line and I have tried almost all of the range, Intenso also really nice, Fortado and Aflorazio (with a good milk splash) are also great Lungo options 👍

  • Solelio, along with the Giornio, are my favourite large light-roast capsules. If you want shorter, the gran lungo Aflorazio is also pretty good.

  • Todays Vinyl & Coffee pairing - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds Ghosteen, paired with Aflorazio which is a split roasted coffee that is delicate and light, but brings out some wild notes.

  • Oh bummer. That's my favorite pod :(

Common questions

What is the intensity of Aflorazio?

Aflorazio has an intensity of 4 on the manufacturer's scale and is intended for a Gran Lungo (150 ml) cup size.

Which machines does Aflorazio fit?

Aflorazio is a Vertuo capsule and fits Vertuo machines only. Vertuo and Original capsules are physically different and are not interchangeable.

Is Aflorazio a capsule or a coffee pod?

Both words describe the same thing. The manufacturer calls them capsules, and English-language stores also say coffee pods; Aflorazio is one sealed portion of ground coffee either way. This site says "capsule" throughout only for consistency — searching for "Aflorazio pods" and "Aflorazio capsules" will find the same coffee.

What does Aflorazio taste like?

The published flavour notes for Aflorazio are floral, flowery, hint of fruity.

What cup size is Aflorazio brewed at?

Storefronts list Aflorazio at Gran Lungo (150 ml).

Can Aflorazio be brewed shorter and stronger for a milk drink?

On Vertuo machines with Coffee Creations the same capsule brews a shorter, stronger cup, intended as the base for iced and milk drinks. It is an extra mode, not the only one these machines have: a normal cup is still one press. On Vertuo Next, Pop, Pop+, Lattissima and Creatista you turn it on by pressing the coffee button twice — it blinks turquoise, the mode applies to that cup only, and the machine goes back to brewing normally afterwards; Vertuo Up has a dedicated Coffee Creations button, and there the mode stays on until the machine is switched off. The size steps down one place: an Espresso capsule brews as a Ristretto (25 ml), Double Espresso and Gran Lungo brew as an Espresso (40 ml), and a Mug capsule brews as a Double Espresso (80 ml). The machine refuses the mode for Ristretto, Cold Brew Style and Carafe capsules — the mode switches off again and the barcode size is brewed — and Nespresso does not recommend it for Alto or the Coffee+ range. In the rare case that the double press does nothing, try updating the machine’s firmware from the Nespresso app. Older Vertuo models, including Vertuo Plus, brew only the size written in the barcode.
