A drop of deliciousness: the essence of Italy’s iconic drinking tradition. Inspired by the ambassador of all Italian coffees, the ristretto, we chose not to imitate, but to roast our perfect version. Long roasted in part for body, short for brightness and fruit, this coffee is the culmination of all we explored in the emblematic Italian cup.

ORIGIN Nespresso experts surveyed the best local bars and roasters in Italy and drew inspiration from their tasting experiences to craft a sophisticated recipe that combines Arabicas and Robustas coming from all three producing continents. Brazilian Arabicas serve as a neutral base that is spiced with a dash of high quality Robusta from South India. Finally, the best of South American and East African Arabicas add a hint of a crisp fruit note, masterfully finishing the Ispirazione Ristretto Italiano.

ROASTING Split roasting means you can taste what each coffee brings to the cup. The long-roasted Robusta coffee gives Ispirazione Ristretto Italiano its body, its roastiness, and its cocoa bitterness. Putting the Arabica coffees through a quick roast keeps their bright acidity and fruity notes alive and gives Ispirazione Ristretto Italiano more in the cup.

AROMATIC PROFILE A roasty and intense coffee but with fruity notes and a hint of acidity dancing through the blend – Ispirazione Ristretto Italiano is mysterious and magnetic in its complexity. It’s a profile worthy of an ambassador – a coffee that explains Italians’ passion for coffee and makes sense of why it’s ingrained in daily life.
