Tamuka mu Zimbabwe

Tamuka mu Zimbabwe has an intensity of 5 on the manufacturer's scale and is intended for a Espresso (40 ml) cup size.

Tamuka mu Zimbabwe 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 Tamuka mu Zimbabwe. They are different products with the same name, so check which line a pack is for before buying: this page covers the Vertuo one.

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

The published flavour notes for Tamuka mu Zimbabwe are floral, fruity, fruity and flowery.

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.
