THE SECRETS OF THE BLEND

Roasting is a vital stage that requires skill to unleash the subtle harmony of flavours that constitute a Nespresso Premium Blend.  It consists of roasting the green coffee beans until they develop their full aromatic potential.


Nespresso has developed a specific roasting profile for each blend, to bring out the unique properties of each origin that makes up a particular blend. Find out more

• The perfect roasting depends on finding the time period/temperature best suited to the entire blend, allowing the characteristics of each origin to be fully expressed.
• Poor roasting can ruin the finest Premium Blend coffees

Nespresso uses the complex technique of "split-roasting" in some of its blends. Find out more

• This consists of roasting each origin separately to allow each origin to develop its full potential.
• Although more difficult to implement, this technique offers incomparable results.

The coffee's character develops during roasting: appearance, aromas and taste. Find out more (fenêtre d’information ci-dessous)

• The green coffee bean dehydrates completely and its colour changes from green to ochre, then brown and almost black.
• With the effect of the heat, the coffee bean expands and the caffeine content increases.
• The acidity and body develop slowly and then diminish, while aromas reach their optimum quickly before decreasing.
• The bitterness develops continuously.
