Ristretto

Typical of Italian culture, its medium roasting time allows all the to bring out all the aromas of the coffee, to be enjoyed as a ristretto. All that's left to do is discover it!

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 for 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 Ristretto Italiano.

Split-roasting means you can taste what each coffee brings to the cup. The long-roasted robusta coffee gives 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 Ristretto Italiano more in the cup. We celebrate Italy’s rich history of master blenders and roasters in Ristretto.

A roasty and intense coffee but with fruity notes and a hint of acidity dancing through the blend – 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. Extracted to the classic 25 ml, you’ll soon see how right the Italians are – this drop of deliciousness shows how less can truly be more.
