Nespresso's default Vertuo mug coffee: a mild, honey-sweet Brazilian-led blend that suits almost everyone.

Melozio is Nespresso's signature Vertuo coffee, brewing a 7.77 fl oz cup from a split-roasted blend of Latin American Arabicas, mostly Brazilian Bourbon and Guatemalan. Nespresso rates it intensity 6 with low acidity and describes honeyed sweetness over a smooth cereal note. It is the safe, crowd-pleasing pick for new Vertuo owners and milk drinks, though pricier per cup than K-Cups.

Best for

  • New Vertuo owners
  • Daily mug coffee and lattes
  • Drinkers who dislike bitter or acidic coffee

What we like

  • Low-acid, low-bitterness cup that pleases most drinkers
  • Honey and cereal sweetness that works well with milk
  • Origins and Bourbon variety disclosed
  • Also sold as Melozio Decaffeinato and Melozio Boost

Watch-outs

  • Vertuo-only capsule; will not fit Original or Keurig machines
  • $1.40 per pod adds up for daily mugs
  • Too mild for dark-roast fans
