We introduced this blend in 1998 for those who prefer a milder cup. A shade lighter than most our offerings - more toasty than roasty - it was the result of playing with roast and taste profile together for a flavor that appealed to a wider range of palates. Perfect if you want to wake up to a less intense coffee but still want a lot of character, it's lively with a citrusy tang that gives way to a clean finish. We use the same high quality 100% Arabica beans as our coffeehouses.
The same high-quality Starbucks coffee that you know and love is now made by Nespresso for you to enjoy at home. Plus, these capsules are made from aluminum for guaranteed coffee freshness.
The Quality You Expect from Starbucks
