Nespresso Ristretto Italiano, Intensity 10, A short, powerful espresso with a classic Italian profile. This one wakes you up.

Overview

Nespresso designed Ristretto Italiano to be a bold, intense espresso. It's a blend that brings together Arabicas from South America and East Africa, balanced with a hint of Robusta for that extra kick. The dark roast gives it a strong character, but you'll still pick up those subtle fruit and floral notes.

Tasting notes

How to brew

Pop a capsule into your Nespresso Original Line machine. We recommend pulling it as a 25ml ristretto to get the full intensity, or a 40ml espresso if you like it slightly longer. It holds its own beautifully, even with a splash of milk.
