Nespresso Coffee: Aged Sumatra, Ethiopia, and Costa Rica Capsule Reviews

Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr

Nespresso Coffee is always coming up with new capsules for their different machines. With the pandemic, having a good source of coffee in our home is a life saver. We’ve been able to save so much money by not making regular trips to the cafe.

Aged Sumatra, Ethiopia, and Costa Rica are the latest capsules to be released and it’s actually our favourite capsules too.

Aged Sumatra

Intensity: 8
Espresso: 40ml

The Aged Sumatra single origin coffee is split into two batches for roasting. The first is roasted intensely for a short time, reaching a medium dark colour. The second is roasted longer, thus adding intensity. The flavour profile is woody with a slight sweet after taste.

It is smooth and we love making it into a latte with oat milk.

Ethiopia

Intensity:4
Grand Lungo: 150ml

The Ethiopia Master Origins coffee is roasted in two splits. One is light and the other is medium roasted to keep the aromatic flavours alive. It’s very smooth. It is naturally flowery coffee which gains fruitiness and complexity due to their drying method. You can notice hints of blueberry and a touch of musk.

There is hardly any bitterness and it’s become one of our favourites with a bit of oat milk to pair. This is my personal favourite.

Costa Rica

Intensity: 7
Gran Lungo: 150ml

The Coasta Rica has a roastiness and full body taste with low acidity. It gives it a malty and cereal flavour profile. Similar to the other coffee, they split the roast to develop the flavours. Another solid coffee and like the other ones, we add a touch of oat milk to it.

Final thoughts

Of the three new capsules, I absolutely love the Ethiopia the most. Costa Rica is a family favourite too. I would usually gravitate towards espresso like the Aged Sumatra, but the others blends did impress us.
