Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Is Altissio Vertuo's most powerful espresso?

  No, Diavolitto (Int. 11) is the most powerful. Altissio (Int. 9) is very intense, but focuses on the balance between strength and an incredibly creamy texture.

• Is it good for preparing a cortado or a macchiato?

  It's the perfect base. Its intense character isn't lost by adding a small amount of milk, which in turn softens its potency and enhances its creaminess.

• Which Original System coffee is it most similar to?

  Arpeggio lovers often enjoy Altissio. Both share a high intensity and a creamy profile, although Altissio leans more toward toasted grain notes.

• Why is the format 10 capsules?

  The 10-capsule case is the standard Nespresso format. It's perfect for trying new varieties, like Altissio, or for better managing your weekly coffee consumption.

• Can I make a larger cup with this capsule?

  Not recommended. The capsule and coffee quantity are optimized for a 40ml espresso. A longer extraction would result in an unbalanced and watery coffee.

• Does this coffee have a lot of caffeine?

  Being a high-intensity coffee and containing a touch of Robusta, its caffeine content is high, making it ideal for an energy boost.
