Don Francisco's Old Havana Espresso Pods — Intensity 8, Medium Dark Roast, 100% Arabica, Nespresso Original Compatible

Bold Cuban-Style Espresso at Home

Experience Don Francisco's Old Havana Espresso Pods, designed for Nespresso Original Line machines. The Intensity 8, a medium-dark roast, balances a robust backbone with nuanced nutty sweetness and a bright citrus whisper, delivering a smooth finish that hints at a classic Cuban cafe. Crafted from premium 100% Arabica beans, these capsules reflect four generations of family-roasting expertise owned by Don Francisco's since 1870.

The aluminum capsules act as a protective shield, preserving aroma and flavor from the moment of packing to the moment you pour your shot. Each cup aims to be consistently rich, inviting, and ready for your daily ritual or a midday pick-me-up with friends.

Flavor profile and aroma you can expect

• Rich, bold espresso with nutty sweetness that carries a citrusy brightness.
• Aromatic notes that fill the kitchen as you brew, creating an inviting moment in any cadence of the day.

Practical use and compatibility

• Designed for Nespresso Original Line machines (not Vertuo), offering a convenient path to cafe-quality espresso at home.
• Use the espresso setting around 1.35 oz for a balanced, concentrated pull that suits lattes or straight shots.

To enjoy a touch of Cuban-inspired ritual, try a quick sugar stir to create a creamy foam and a subtly sweet finish. Regular machine maintenance helps keep the machine and pods performing at their best, ensuring a dependable espresso experience.

Eco-conscious sipping

• Aluminum capsules preserve freshness and flavor with a strong barrier against oxidation.
• TerraCycle partnership makes the pods recyclable through the program, helping reduce waste where programs exist.

Whether you’re starting your day, entertaining guests, or craving a quick, barista-grade espresso, Old Havana Pods offer a consistent, comforting option. The blend honors a Cuban coffee heritage while delivering the convenience of modern single-serve capsules.

Heritage and quality you can trace

Don Francisco's family has guided every step of the process—from bean selection to roasting perfection—since 1870. This ongoing commitment to quality shows in the aroma, body, and finish of each cup, inviting you to pause and savor the moment.

Note: This product is not affiliated with Nespresso beyond the Original Line compatibility, and it is tailored for home use with compatible machines. It’s a way to enjoy a bold, consistent espresso with a nod to Cuban coffee traditions.
