Decaffeinated Talks with Nespresso: All the Flavour, None of the Buzz

In a world fueled by caffeine, there's a quiet revolution brewing — and it’s decaffeinated.
Whether you're cutting back on caffeine, sipping coffee late into the evening, or simply chasing the flavour without the buzz, Nespresso’s decaffeinated range is here to prove that going decaf doesn’t mean going dull.
At Nespresso, we believe every coffee moment should be extraordinary — with or without the caffeine. That’s why our decaf blends are crafted with the same bold passion, premium quality, and rich flavour profiles as their caffeinated counterparts. Curious about how we keep the magic alive while letting the caffeine go? Let’s dive into the (decaf) deep end.


A Decaf Lineup That Packs a Punch (Minus the Jitters)
Think decaf is just a watered-down version of the real deal? Think again.
We’ve got a growing range of decaffeinated favourites, designed for all coffee lovers — from espresso obsessives to lungo lovers. Our decaf options deliver the same aromatic richness, depth, and crema-topped satisfaction as the blends you already know and love.
And the best part? The decaf collection keeps growing. As our community asks for more caffeine-free options, we're proudly delivering, one carefully crafted capsule at a time.
Say Hello to the New Vertuo Double Espresso Chiaro Decaffeinato


Meet the new kid on the (coffee) block: Vertuo Chiaro Decaf — a bold, full-bodied double espresso with intense roasted notes and a whisper of woodiness.
It’s everything you love about the original Chiaro, minus the caffeine. Whether you’re starting your morning slowly or winding down after dark, this is the cup that proves decaf can still mean delicious.


Decaffeinated, Naturally: The Art of Caffeine-Free Craftsmanship
So, how exactly do we take the caffeine out and keep the flavour in? Great question. At Nespresso, we use two natural decaffeination methods — because we don’t mess around when it comes to protecting taste.
1. The Washing Method (aka The Spa Day for Beans)
The washing method is a time-honoured technique that relies on water to extract caffeine.
In this process, green coffee beans are soaked in water, allowing the caffeine to dissolve. The beans are then filtered to remove the caffeine, and the remaining liquid is reintroduced to the beans to reabsorb the lost flavours.
This method is revered for its ability to maintain the coffee's natural taste profile, ensuring a delightful cup every time.


2. The CO₂ Method (High-Tech, High-Quality)
The CO2 method is a modern, innovative approach that uses carbon dioxide to decaffeinate coffee.
In this process, CO2 is applied to the beans at high pressure, selectively extracting caffeine while leaving the essential oils and flavours intact.
This method is celebrated for its precision and efficiency, offering a decaffeinated coffee that mirrors the taste of its caffeinated counterpart.
Flavour First. Always.
Let’s be real — if it doesn’t taste amazing, it’s not making it into your cup. Our decaf blends go through the same rigorous quality control and flavour profiling as our traditional coffees. We don’t cut corners — we craft experiences.
So whether you’re sipping a decaf espresso before bed, or serving lungo at brunch without the caffeine kick, you’ll never feel like you’re compromising.


In Conclusion: Decaf Isn’t a Downgrade — It’s a Choice. A Delicious One.
At Nespresso, decaffeination is not an afterthought — it’s a commitment to offering every customer the full coffee experience, tailored to their lifestyle. The new Double Espresso Vertuo Chiaro Decaffeinato is just the beginning of our evolving decaf journey.
So go ahead — indulge in your daily ritual, one delicious decaf at a time.
Because great coffee doesn’t need caffeine to be unforgettable.
