RISTRETTO Decaffeinato
Powerful and contrasting coffee
Inspired by the ambassador of all Italian coffees, we chose not to imitate but to roast our own version. The RISTRETTO is the essence of Italy’s iconic coffee culture. It’s not reflective of any one city – it’s Italy. It’s the fashion, the art, the cuisine – it’s the consistent elegance and excellence of Italy as a whole. Ispirazione RISTRETTO Italiano Decaffeinato is a blend of diverse Arabica and Robustas – a contrasting bouquet from around the world – together they recreate the iconic Italian taste. Ispirazione RISTRETTO Italiano is a medium-dark roast. In one short, sharp sip, this blend reveals all its intensity and complexity of aromas. It’s a roasty and intense coffee accented by fruity notes and a hint of acidity dancing through. 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.
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 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.
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. We celebrate Italy’s rich history of master blenders and roasters in Ispirazione RISTRETTO Italiano.

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%.
