Pack of 30 Nespresso Vertuo Altissio capsules. An intense and creamy level 9 espresso (40ml), with a dense body and rich notes of toasted cereal. Pure intensity.

Experience the ultimate espresso in the Vertuo system with the 30-capsule Nespresso Altissio capsule pack. This 9-intensity coffee is the preferred choice for those who love a short espresso (40ml) full of flavor, body, and exceptional creaminess. Altissio is a coffee that envelops you and awakens you with its bold character.

Its flavor profile is the result of a blend of Costa Rican and South American Arabicas, with a touch of Robusta added to enhance its body and crema. The entire blend undergoes a short but intense roast, a technique that highlights the rich notes of toasted grain and gives it its unmistakable character. The Centrifusion technology of your Vertuo machine takes care of the rest, crowning this powerful espresso with a dense, velvety crema that is a true pleasure for the senses.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Is Altissio Vertuo's strongest espresso?

  No, Diavolitto, with an intensity of 11, is the strongest. Altissio (Int. 9) is very intense, but focuses more on the balance between power and a very creamy texture.

• Is it a good coffee to make a cortado?

  It's perfect for a cortado. Its intense character is sustained by a touch of milk, which in turn softens its potency and enhances its creaminess, creating a short and delicious drink.

• Is the taste similar to Arpeggio from the Original system?

  They share a high intensity and a creamy profile. However, Arpeggio stands out more for its cocoa notes, while Altissio focuses on toasted grain notes. They are cousins, but not identical twins.

• Why is Altissio cream so thick?

  This is due to the combination of two factors: the inclusion of Robusta in the blend, which naturally produces more cream, and Centrifusion extraction technology, which creates a unique emulsion.

• Is this coffee very acidic?

  No, intense roasting reduces the coffee's acidity. Altissio is a low-acid coffee, focused on body, intensity, and roasted notes.

• Can I recycle these Vertuo capsules?

  Yes, of course. Vertuo capsules are made of aluminum, an infinitely recyclable material. Nespresso has its own collection system to ensure proper recycling.
