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 is a blend of diverse Arabicas and Robustas, a contrasting bouquet that recreates the iconic Italian taste. Ispirazione Ristretto Italiana 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 and drew inspiration from their tasting experiences to craft a sophisticated recipe that combines Arabicas and Robustas. Arabicas serve as a neutral base that is spiced with a dash of high-quality Robusta. Finally, more Arabicas add a hint of a crisp fruit note, masterfully finishing the Ristretto.

ROASTING
Split roasting means you can taste what each coffee brings to the cup. The long-roasted Robusta coffee gives Ispirazione Ristretto 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 more in the cup. We celebrate a rich history of master blenders and roasters in Ispirazione Ristretto.

AROMATIC PROFILE
A roasty and intense coffee but with fruity notes and a hint of acidity dancing through the blend, Ispirazione Ristretto 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 less can truly be more.
