Cape Town Lungo
Potent and roasted coffee
World Exploration CAPE TOWN LUNGO honors South African affinity for intense coffee blends shaped by their coffee trade route history. Being a stopping point on the old trade routes of Asian coffees, Cape Town saw its taste shaped by the shipments of Robusta and Indian Arabicas that travelled through. They became the backbone of the country’s beloved intense coffee blends. CAPE TOWN LUNGO reflects that history with its potent blend of Indian Arabica and Robusta. The medium-roasted Washed Mexican Robusta brings a full body, while the dark-roasted Indian Arabicas lend a punchy bitter note and a characteristically Indian woodsy aroma. Savor our most intense Lungo like a Capetonian by adding milk to soften the brute strength of this flavor profile.
ORIGIN
Our Lungo is crafted with a potent blend of Indian Arabica and Robusta. The medium-roasted Washed Mexican Robusta brings a full body, while the dark-roasted Indian Arabicas lend a punchy bitter note and a characteristically Indian woodsy aroma.
ROASTING
Both Indian and Mexican Robustas are roasted to a medium degree but separated by origin for more precise results. The Arabica beans are roasted to a darker degree for extra intensity.
AROMATIC PROFILE
CAPE TOWN Lungo displays lively spicy and aromatically woody notes with sharp intensity coming from its powerful Robusta beans.

80% OF ALUMINIUM IN OUR ORIGINAL CAPSULES IS RECYCLED ALUMINIUM
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.
