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. Inspired by this ambassador of all Italian coffees, we chose not to imitate but to roast our own version.. Ispirazione Ristretto Italiano Decaffeinato is our classic with two twists. Just as with 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 – even after decaffeination.

INTENSELY ROASTED
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 Decaffeinato.
Roasting
Slow split roasts of these decaffeinated arabica and robusta coffees develop all the aromatics and give ISPIRAZIONE Ristretto Italiano Decaffeinato its rich, roasted taste. The Italian barista’s second M is the macinazione – a fine grind helps create that iconic Italian taste – it’s intense and profoundly hefty on your tongue. We celebrate Italy’s rich history of master blenders and roasters in ISPIRAZIONE Ristretto Italiano Decaffeinato.
Aromatic Profile
Boldly roasty but balanced out by soft cocoa notes. You may catch some of the subtle acidity and fruity notes that make this Nespresso decaf capsule so mysteriously complex. 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.
