The Coffee Score review

Orafio glows in your cup with its warm cereal and roasted notes. Our team spent hands-on time with the Nespresso Vertuo Orafio, Medium Roast Espresso Coffee capsules to see how it holds up against the rest of the capsules & pods we've tested.

Across repeated sessions we evaluated it on the categories that matter most: quality, consistency, value, and how likely we are to reach for it again. Ranked #8 of our top 184 capsules & pods — an outstanding dark pick with caramel, sweet notes, earning a 4.8★ average across 338 Amazon ratings.

Orafio glows in your cup with its warm cereal and roasted notes. A blend of Latin American Arabicas with a touch of Ugandan Robusta, this vertuo coffee pod has a light body, low bitterness, and graces your palate with just a hint of acidity.

From the roaster

  • Orafio Brews 1.35 FL. OZ.: These Nespresso Vertuo capsules are part of the Espresso range that will provide you with a 1.35 fl. oz. serving of a traditional espresso coffee beverage
  • Sensorial Profile: Orafio is surprising liquorice and has brown caramel and spicy notes, finished by a pleasant and long-lasting bitter after-taste.
  • Medium Roast: A split roast with high Robusta content that still manages to feel mild and light. In the first batch we roast all arabicas dark and short, while the high-quality Robusta beans in the second split get a lighter and longer roast.
  • Savor With Milk: In a Latte Macchiato recipe, Orafio’s coffee character becomes softened, giving way to sweet caramel and milky notes
  • Sustainability First: As a certified B Corporation, Nespresso meets the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, joining a global movement using business as a force for good.

What we liked

  • Strong overall Coffee Score of 9.2/10 — ranked #110 of 1193 (10% percentile).

    Morning coffee ☕️

    Perfect for my protein coffee in the morning. Don’t need any extra ingredients because it alone has such a good flavor. I use a half of a vanilla protein shake and it is top tier. I personally like the 6 roast because it’s not to strong but it still gives you that perfect espresso flavor.

    Great taste, super smooth!

    Bought these in a pinch of my wife, she loves them. I decided to dabble and try it myself and was surprised how good these tasted. Iced coffee has never tasted better, thank you! Good strength and very smooth!

    Taste great!! ☕️

    Such a great pod from Nespresso. It is so good. There is no bitter taste in this pod. This pod is great for a brown shaken espressos. You don’t really taste any caramel in this pod. Overall it’s a great pod to have. I
