Master Origins Costa Rica
WITH CRYSTAL CLARITY
A blend of medium and dark roasted Arabicas that highlights the aromatic complexity and crystal clean finish of this uniquely processed coffee. A small selection of Arabica coffee beans is soaked in hot spring waters. This rare process highlights a malty sweet cereal character.
ORIGIN
A group of AAA farmers selectively handpicked this coffee in Costa Rica’s Central Highlands. Imagine some of the country’s richest scenery – rainforests, volcanoes, hills and valleys lined with coffee plants and sugar cane – and then, in one of the oldest communities in Costa Rica, Orosi’s mineral hot spring. They bring the thermal waters down to the coffee wet mill and use it once – and only once – to soak the pulped coffee for 12 hours.
ROASTING
We separate the single origin coffee in two batches for a split-roast. The first is roasted in medium temperatures to reach a medium-dark colour and develop sweet malty notes. The second is roasted slightly more intensively to reach a darker color and the desired intensity.
AROMATIC PROFILE
The one-of-a-kind process of fermentation in hot-spring waters brings about a remarkably balanced and clean taste in the cup. Master Origin Costa Rica is full-bodied but mellow. A malty sweet cereal note runs through it with crystal clarity.

85% OF ALUMINUM IN OUR VERTUO CAPSULES IS RECYCLED ALUMINUM
Why aluminum?
Aluminum is a perfect barrier to oxygen, light and humidity to protect the freshness and the aromas of high-quality coffee, over time. Besides, is infinitely recyclable and is one of the most widely recycled materials in the world.
The only way to become more circular is to ensure what comes to an end always becomes a new beginning. By the end of 2021, Nespresso planned to convert a complete line of Original coffees into new recycled aluminum capsules and succeeded. And now we will gradually extend this initiative to all Vertuo capsules by the end of 2022. But because Vertuo capsules are slightly larger than the Original, the aluminum content of recycled sources in this range will be 85%.
