Bring classic Italian intensity to your machine. Starbucks Italian Style Roast (Ristretto) is a dark, richly roasted espresso made to deliver a concentrated, full-bodied shot with deep roast and caramelised sugar notes.
Sold in Nespresso®-compatible aluminium capsules (10 per pack; each capsule ~5.6 g), this roast is labelled Intensity 11 and is ideal for ristretto extractions (~25 ml) or short espressos.
The bold profile cuts through milk when used in lattes or cappuccinos while remaining smooth and roasty when brewed straight. Aluminium capsules are designed to be recyclable — check local capsule collection programs for returns.
