Passalacqua HELCA Coffee Capsules for Nespresso System, 25 Pieces, 5.5 g Each

Passalacqua HELCA capsules bring the authentic Neapolitan espresso tradition to your Nespresso OriginalLine machine. Unlike standard capsules that often deliver a one-dimensional taste, HELCA is a masterfully dark-roasted blend of Arabica and Robusta beans, roasted in the historic Passalacqua roastery in Naples. The result is a full-bodied, intense espresso with a rich crema and a distinctive flavor profile that unfolds with notes of dark chocolate and toasted bread. Each capsule contains 5.5 grams of finely ground coffee, perfectly dosed for a 25–40 ml espresso. With an intensity level of 11 out of 13, HELCA is crafted for those who appreciate a bold, characterful coffee that leaves a lasting impression.

Highlights

In daily use

Start your morning with a true Italian espresso ritual. Insert a HELCA capsule into your Nespresso machine, brew a short 25–40 ml shot, and watch the thick, hazel-colored crema form. The aroma is immediately inviting, with hints of cocoa and roasted grains. On the palate, the coffee is robust yet balanced, with a pleasant bitterness and a lingering aftertaste of dark chocolate. It is perfect as a straight espresso or as the base for a cappuccino or latte, where its intensity cuts through milk beautifully. The capsules are individually sealed to preserve freshness, and the box is compact enough to store easily in your kitchen cupboard.
