About this coffee

Origin

Cafecito de Cuba brought to you by Nespresso ̶ a short and intense cup, purely made from Cuban Arabica coffee beans. It is more than a coffee, it is a journey to Cuba.

Dive into the heat and passion of authentic Cuban culture with Cafecito de Cuba from Nespresso. Its incomparable intense roasted character boasts powerful and delightful smoky notes of wood and tobacco leaves.

Indulge your palate with its dense velvety texture, best enjoyed in a traditional short ristretto (25 ml - 0.845 fl oz).

Roasting

To enhance the potential of the beans and highlight their authenticity, Nespresso experts applied a sophisticated split roasting technique. One half of the beans were roasted for a shorter time to a lighter color to bring out all the unique flavors and specific aromas of the coffee.

The other half was roasted for a longer time to a much darker color to create a strong body with velvety texture and intense rich flavors.
