Roma
Full and balanced coffee
Combining the ancient character of Rome with a twist of modernity, this short roast balances intensity with elegant aromatics, reflecting the complexity of this great city. Making one for yourself is thankfully less complex.
ORIGIN
This blend starts with a balanced, cereal base of Natural Arabicas from the Brazilian plateaus, combined with a touch of Robusta for a lightly woody note. Arabicas from southeast Mexico provide the outline for this blend’s fine aromatics. This renowned region benefits from a unique terroir: Rich volcanic soils exposed to rain and populated by forests that lend shade and coolness to the coffee trees.
ROASTING
Surprisingly light roast for an intense coffee, balancing deep, roasted notes with a hint of acidity that gives this coffee its elegance. The different beans that compose the blend are roasted separately, with the Brazilian portion serving as a deeply roasted base, topped with a lightly roasted Mexican Arabica for its delicate aromatics. A fine grind preserves the coffee’s aromatic finesse and keeps Ispirazione ROMA powerful yet mild; a true testimonial to Rome’s rich story of contrasts.
AROMATIC PROFILE
From the days of Ancient Rome, a great many cultures passed through this metropolis. Different layers of civilization towering up to the present day when Modern Rome adds its layer of elegance to the rich history of the city. Ispirazione ROMA, too, is beautifully complex. There’s a subtle balance between the strength of the roastiness, the depth of the woodsy, cereal notes, and the finesse of the acidity and elegant aromatics.

80% OF ALUMINIUM IN OUR ORIGINAL CAPSULES IS RECYCLED ALUMINIUM
Why aluminum?
Aluminum is a perfect barrier to oxygen, light and humidity to protect the freshness and the aromas of high-quality coffee, over time. Besides, is infinitely recyclable and is one of the most widely recycled materials in the world.
The only way to become more circular is to ensure what comes to an end always becomes a new beginning.
Our goal was to have our Original capsules made using 80% recycled aluminum by the end of 2021, what we have successfully achieved. And now we will gradually extend this initiative to all Vertuo capsules by the end of 2022. But because Vertuo capsules are slightly larger than the Original, the aluminum content of recycled sources in this range will be 85%.
