Ispirazione Ristretto Italiano — Intensity 10/13
A drop of deliciousness: the essence of Italy’s iconic drinking tradition.
Ristretto Italiano is a powerful, contrasting coffee from Nespresso’s Ispirazione Italiana range. These coffees are inspired by Italy’s cities and local coffee culture.
Nespresso looked to the ristretto — Italy’s most iconic coffee style. They did not copy it. They built their own version instead. Part of the blend is long roasted for body. Part is short roasted for brightness and fruit.
The result is intensely roasted coffee with fruity notes and a hint of acidity. A small cup that proves quality is not about size.

Which Nespresso machines are these capsules compatible with?
These fit Nespresso Original machines with classic small aluminium pods at 19 bar — for example Citiz, Pixie, Essenza, and Inissia. They do not fit Vertuo or Vertuo Pop machines. Those use a different capsule shape and barcode.
What is the difference between ristretto and espresso with this capsule?
Use the same capsule for both. Brew 25 ml for a short, concentrated ristretto. Brew 40 ml for a fuller espresso. The ristretto highlights intensity. The espresso offers more balance.
What does intensity 10/13 mean?
Nespresso rates strength from 1 to 13. At 10/13, Ristretto Italiano sits in the upper range. Expect a dark roast with strong body and bitterness (4/5 each), moderate acidity (3/5), and bold roast character. Ideal for fans of classic Italian espresso.
What does Ristretto Italiano taste like?
Expect intensely roasted notes with fruity aromatics, cereal, and light acidity. Short-roast Arabicas from Latin America and East Africa meet long-roast Robusta from South India. The cup has dense body, toasted notes, and bitter cocoa undertones.
Is this coffee vegan and allergen-free?
Yes. Ingredients are roast and ground coffee only. The product is vegan and vegetarian. No dairy, nuts, or common allergens are added.
How much caffeine is in each cup?
Caffeine varies by cup size and machine settings. Nespresso states 7 mg to 80 mg per serving. A 25 ml ristretto usually has less caffeine than a 40 ml espresso.
