    Colombian or Brazilian Coffee: Choose Your Umami Capsules

    Two choices for your espresso

    Colombian and Brazilian are two Umami 100% Arabica coffee varieties. This comparison describes these products, not all Colombian or Brazilian coffee. Both come in ten-capsule boxes for domestic Nespresso® Original, not Vertuo.

    Prices checked on 31 October 2026, before shipping. Tasting notes describe a sensory profile; they do not mean fruit, chocolate or nuts have been added as ingredients.

    How to choose

    Explore Colombian if its fruity profile appeals to you. See Brazilian if you prefer the chocolate and toasted notes in its description. If unsure, start with one box of each before choosing PACK 10.

    Compare under the same conditions

    Prepare both at 40 ml using your machine, without changing water volume and additions at the same time. Both product guides also suggest 20 ml for a more concentrated experience and 110 ml for a lighter one. Your preference may change with preparation.

    Frequently asked questions

    Does 8/13 contain more caffeine than 7/13?

    We cannot infer that from the scale. It is not a caffeine measurement.

    Which is better?

    There is no universal answer. Flavor profiles and your preference matter more than an absolute ranking.

    Can I combine both in a 100-capsule order?

    Yes: choose ten boxes. The total is the sum of your selected boxes. Discounted PACK 10 contains ten boxes of a single flavor.

    What does shipping cost?

    €2.99 to supported destinations, free from a €49 product subtotal. Check the total in the shop.
