Intenso
Dark as night
You'll love to linger over the brown sugar and intense roasted notes of this blend of Arabica thick with a rare Nicaraguan Robusta.
ORIGIN
We chose the rare Washed Guatemalan Robusta for its typical cereal notes, its clean and smooth taste, and that unmissable intensity you get from Robusta coffee beans. This Vertuo coffee pod also contains Arabica from Mexico and other Latin American countries. The Arabicas’ subtler aromatics blend smoothly with the Guatemalan coffee.
ROASTING
We split roast the Nespresso Intenso blend. The Guatemalan coffee gets a long roast - it develops the Robusta coffee beans’ bold and bitter notes. The Arabicas get a shorter, dark roast to lower the acidity and bring out that brown sugar aroma. The split roast and specific grind give Intenso its lingering aftertaste.
AROMATIC PROFILE
Brown sugar and roasted notes are the signature aromatics of this Vertuo coffee capsule. It’s an intense long black with a distinctly lingering aftertaste and a thick coffee crema.

85% OF ALUMINUM IN OUR VERTUO CAPSULES IS RECYCLED ALUMINUM
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. By the end of 2021, Nespresso planned to convert a complete line of Original coffees into new recycled aluminum capsules and succeeded. 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%.
