Nespresso Vertuo Altissio Espresso Pods – Medium Roast, 1.35 oz, 50-Count

Meet Altissio: Bold, Creamy Espresso in Vertuo Form

Get a rich, full-bodied experience with Nespresso Vertuo Altissio. Crafted from carefully selected Arabicas sourced from Costa Rica and South America, this medium roast reveals a nuanced balance: a hint of Robusta adds depth while smooth cereal notes keep the cup approachable. Each pod is designed to deliver a satisfying 1.35 fl oz espresso that pairs beautifully with milk or enjoyed on its own.

Designed for Vertuo machines, Altissio emphasizes a bold, creamy texture and a dense, velvety crema that anchors the flavor from first sip to the lingering finish. The result is a cup that feels substantial without heaviness, making it a versatile choice for both quick mornings and relaxed afternoons.

Flavor, Texture, and Enjoyment

The blend aims for a full-bodied profile with roasty characteristics that invite you to notice roasty notes and cereal undertones. A short, intense roast helps preserve the coffee’s natural body and crema, creating a cup that holds up well when milk is added.

• Full-bodied and creamy: Altissio’s espresso presence is cloaked in a thick, velvety crema full of roasty notes.
• Intense roast: The beans are roasted to emphasize a bold character, delivering a punchy espresso in a compact serving.
• 1.35 fl oz serving: A traditional espresso size that suits quick rituals or a milk-forward recipe.
• Milk friendly: Designed to taste great as a black shot or as part of milk-with-coffee drinks.

What You Can Expect in Real Life

In the cup, you’ll notice a robust aroma and a creamy body that remains balanced even when dairy or plant-based milk is added. It’s a practical choice for those who appreciate a structured espresso that can shine solo or pair with milk for a smoother texture and nuanced sweetness.

• Versatile use: Enjoy it straight for a assertive espresso or with milk for a gentler balance.
• Consistent quality: Each capsule is designed to preserve freshness and aroma until the moment of brewing.
