Decaffeinated, Not Diminished: Discover Vienna & Vaniglia Decaffeinato
At Nespresso, we believe that coffee should be savoured any time of day—without compromise. That’s why our Original World Explorations Vienna and Vaniglia Decaffeinato blends are crafted to deliver full-bodied flavour and aromatic delight, minus the caffeine. Whether you’re winding down or simply choosing a gentler cup, these blends offer a sensory experience that’s anything but subdued.
Vienna Decaffeinato: A Taste of Tradition
Inspired by the elegant coffeehouse culture of Austria’s capital, Vienna Decaffeinato is a tribute to balance and refinement. Made from 100% Arabica beans sourced from Colombia and Brazil, this blend undergoes a split roast—each origin roasted separately to highlight its unique profile. The result is a medium roast that’s smooth, rounded, and glowing with malty cereal, biscuit, and caramel notes
Enjoy it as a Latte, where its creamy texture and sweet undertones shine. Or, for a true Viennese experience, top your Lungo with whipped cream and pair it with a slice of cake—just like they do in the historic coffeehouses of Vienna
Vaniglia Decaffeinato: Indulgence without the guilt
Vaniglia Decaffeinato is Nespresso’s first-ever flavoured decaffeinated coffee in the Original Line—a milestone in our coffee journey .
This blend features natural Arabicas from Brazil and Colombia, roasted separately to balance intensity and preserve delicate acidity. The Brazilian beans are roasted longer for depth, while the Colombian beans are lightly roasted for brightness.
The result? A silky-smooth cup with custardy vanilla, cake, biscuit, and almond notes. It’s a sweet memory in the making. Try it as a Cappuccino, where the milk enhances its pastry-like richness and transforms your coffee moment into a vanilla dessert experience.
The Water Method: Gentle Decaffeination, Full Flavour
Both blends are decaffeinated using the Water Method—a natural, chemical-free process that uses only water to remove caffeine. This technique preserves the bean’s integrity and flavour profile, ensuring that what you taste is the coffee’s true character, not a compromise
