Price history
Filled markers are recorded price or stock changes per capsule; hollow markers are additional archived sightings that confirmed the same local price. A line spans only dates on which the listing kept being seen, gaps mean continuity is not established, and dashed stretches are periods observed out of stock.
Converted to $ at the reference rate of each observation's own date, so every market is what it would have cost you on the day it was read.
Hover a line or a market name to read it; press one to keep it lit, and press again to release. Several can be held at once.
The chart draws 8 of the 11 markets we hold history for — the ones with the most recorded changes, plus your selected country. Every market is in the table below.

The coupling of Indonesia’s giling basah method with the meticulous aging over several years develops this coffee’s precious profile. Aged Sumatra is distinctly woody and spicy with a roasted character and complex notes of cocoa and tobacco

About this coffee
Origin
High up around Gayo Mountain, in the Aceh province of the island of Sumatra, the farmers practice the giling basah method of processing coffee, much as they do across Indonesia. But then these Aceh farmers add a meticulous twist.
The first split is roasted intensively but for short time, reaching a medium dark colour. This is done to accentuate the notes created by the aging process: Woody cedar with a sweet after-taste.
The second split is roasted for longer to add intensity and a velvety body to the final cup.

Common questions
What is the intensity of Aged Sumatra?
Aged Sumatra has an intensity of 8 on the manufacturer's scale and is intended for a Double Espresso (80 ml) cup size.
Which machines does Aged Sumatra fit?
Aged Sumatra is a Vertuo capsule and fits Vertuo machines only. Vertuo and Original capsules are physically different and are not interchangeable. The official store also sells a Original capsule under the name Aged Sumatra. They are different products with the same name, so check which line a pack is for before buying: this page covers the Vertuo one.
Is Aged Sumatra 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; Aged Sumatra is one sealed portion of ground coffee either way. This site says "capsule" throughout only for consistency — searching for "Aged Sumatra pods" and "Aged Sumatra capsules" will find the same coffee.
What does Aged Sumatra taste like?
The published flavour notes for Aged Sumatra are balanced, cocoa, malted cereal, spicy, woody.
What cup size is Aged Sumatra brewed at?
Storefronts list Aged Sumatra at more than one size: Double Espresso (80 ml), Ristretto (25 ml), Espresso (40 ml).
Can Aged Sumatra 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.
