Forest Fruit Flavour Review
- Origin: Arabica coffee from Brazil and Colombia
- Roasting: 3
- Acidity: 3
- Bitterness: 3
- Body: 3
A 2021 festive limited edition pod, with a cherry flavouring.
Light brown foam. Supremely sweet aroma, intensely of cherries. Hardly any trace of roastiness or any aspects that can classify the small as one of a typical coffee. Definitely an unique aroma.
Medium bodied and somewhat dry, initially, the cherry flavour dominates the taste profile as with the aroma. Biscuits and cereals can be noticed, mostly in the aftertaste. A granularity in the mouthfeel makes this coffee taste like a “liquid cherry cake”, just much less sweet. It may resemble some candies with cherries or raspberries, and increasingly so when added some sugar to it.
Perhaps surprisingly not high in acidity, nor in bitterness. Primarily a fruity, sweet, pod. Low intensity, tea-like. More similar to a typical coffee at lower temperatures, with a juicy roastiness coming to the fore and the fruitiness taking a step back.
A cake/candy like coffee, strong in cherry flavour and sweetness. It can feel unlike a proper coffee and more like a liquid candy or cake. Can be too sweet with a sweetener.
Overall Forest Fruit Flavour is fruity, sweet, light and overwhelmingly cherry-leaning. One for lovers of sweet, gentle, fun coffee.

When will this be back in stock?
Nespresso Guide
Likely, not soon. As Forest Fruit Flavour was a limited edition, once they are out of stock they rarely get restocked. Check more than one Nespresso boutiques if you can, as there may be some pods left in one and not in others. Otherwise, purchase them on Ebay from some other Nespresso owner who doesn’t like them.

What a shame, these were fab. Should be permanently available x
Nespresso Guide
Most of the Limited Edition pods are available only for a limited time but they do return! Occasionally Nespresso releases them again after a few months or years. Hopefully it will be this case with Forest Fruit Flavour as well (and we’ll announce it if it ever gets released again).

This was probably one of the best coffees I’ve ever tasted I do hope it comes back.

I agree. I’ve been looking all over for it and the sellers on ebay are really ripping buyers off.
Is there another flavor you have in stock that may be similar?
Nespresso Guide
There’s really nothing like Forest Fruit Flavour. It has a unique taste indeed. Closest, partly, was Nordic Cloudberry but it is not available anymore and had a much lower sweetness and less pronounced cherry flavor. Not really comparable.

I just finished my stock of Forest Fruit capsules and I’m really sad. It was the best coffee ever! Nespresso, it should be available forever.

Forest Fruit Flavour is quite unique, unfortunately. There are a few pods that are fruity and acidic but in all honesty none of them can be considered similar to this limited edition pod.

It is the best flavor and should be reintroduced for sale.
