Costa Coffee Lively Blend Ristretto, A rich, dark roast in Nespresso-compatible capsules. This blend brings the Costa Coffee shop taste home, ready for your morning shot.

Overview

The Lively Blend Ristretto is Costa Coffee's take on a powerful, shorter espresso. It's a dark roasted coffee, designed to deliver a high-intensity cup that doesn't hold back. You get a full-bodied coffee with a pleasant sweetness that cuts through milk nicely.

Tasting notes

• Body: Full
• Acidity: Low
• Notes: Dark chocolate, roasted nuts, cooked caramel, almond (as lungo)

How to brew

Just pop a capsule into your Nespresso Original Line machine. For a true ristretto, aim for 25ml. You can also pull it as a 40ml espresso, or even a 110ml lungo to bring out those almond notes. It handles milk well, so it's a good choice for a small cappuccino or flat white.
