![]() The Costa Rica blend is unlike any other on the list. ![]() It’s rated at a mid-level intensity and is considered “mild,” “smooth,” and “approachable.” Costa Rica If you aren’t a fan of taking your coffee black, don’t be afraid to give Arondio a try. It is the perfect Gran Lungo beverage, as Nespresso literally describes it as a long black coffee. Next is the Arondio, which we aren’t lucky enough to have an exact caffeine amount for, but it falls within the range of 120-200mg per serving. The Fortado Decaffeinato is a full-bodied, bitter, and strong-flavored coffee you can drink any time of day. What you will get out of this drink, though, is an intense cup of coffee with notes of cocoa and oak, giving it an overall earthy taste. As such, it’s not going to have much caffeine, coming in at less than 12mg per serving. Fortado Decaffeinatoįirst up, the Fortado Decaffeinato is the only decaf drink intended to be brewed as a Gran Lungo. Even with that resource, exact figures aren’t available for all capsules, but a range is given to still provide a good sense of how much of a buzz you can expect after drinking each particular Gran Lungo drink. So while we don’t have the exact amount of caffeine in each of the Gran Lungo beverages, one observant Nespresso drinker was able to compile the caffeine content listed on Nespresso’s Taiwan website. Unfortunately, Nespresso doesn’t like to disclose exact caffeine levels for their beverages, stating that coffee is a “live” product and the caffeine content can vary from one to another. How much caffeine is in a Gran Lungo pod? In fact, the Gran Lungo is about twice the size of a double espresso pod, which I suppose could make it a quadruple espresso? You can understand why they named it a Gran Lungo instead. The variation isn’t huge, but it’s enough to notice. A Lungo brews a 3.7oz drink while a Gran Lungo makes a 5oz drink. There’s a very simple difference between Nespresso’s Lungo and Gran Lungo capsules… Lungo capsules are designed for Nespresso’s original line of machines, while Gran Lungo capsules only work in their Vertuo line of brewers.īecause they’re fitted for different machines, the capsules are also different sizes that produce different-sized beverages. What is the difference between Lungo and Gran Lungo? The taste isn’t as strong as a traditional espresso, so if you aren’t a huge espresso fan, the Gran Lungo is perfect for you. This is because it is brewed with more water, meaning you get a larger drink that comes with the added bonus of having more caffeine. “Gran” translates to “great” and “Lungo” translates to “long,” but when you put them together, instead of “great long,” a more accurate translation is “far.”Īll this to say, the name Gran Lungo is loosely meant to represent that these capsules will brew you a drink that will last you a bit longer than a regular espresso. Nespresso loves using Italian words to name their products and the Gran Lungo is no different. I can hardly wait for the Cafecito de Cuba Limited Edition Gran Cru capsules to come out in May 2019! I believe these capsules will be well worth the cost spent.Nespresso caffeine content What is a Nespresso Gran Lungo? It is a unique taste, but I believe Nespresso has other regular Gran Cru capsules that are better bets to spend your money on. The cost of $2.00 USD per capsule is really high for this coffee. ![]() When open, you can see the color and styling of each Gran Cru capsule. There are perforated cutouts, so you simply pull on it slightly to open the box. It’s very easy to open in comparison to the standard sleeves. The sleeve is designed differently that other Nespresso sleeves in that it opens on the side. This is definitely a coffee you won’t find very often, and very unique! The Sleeve Special side opening When you let the coffee sit for a while and taste it again, it has almost a different flavour that just sticks with you. You can taste the effort that the master craftsman went into producing the coffee. The taste is Sweet, Mellow, and Delicate, or possibly Salt, Bland, and Soft not certain. It’s not a very strong aroma, probably because of the hot springs technique used on the beans. The aroma is Nutty, Malt-like, and Toast smell. There are a number of articles on the internet about the fact that Nespresso capsules are expensive, and in particular more expensive compared to K-cup pods. Master Origin Costa Rica 2019 Box Costīecause it is a Limited Edition capsule, the cost is high at $2.00 US per capsule. ![]() This article is about the Master Origin Costa Rica 2019 Original Line capsule, that is a limited availability Grand Cru capsule.
