Origin
It’s the Robusta blended into this Nespresso Vertuoline double shot’s Arabica that helps it pack a double punch. Highly roasted Central American coffees give Double Espresso Scuro a smoky character with dark cocoa and subtle vanilla notes. Double Espresso is the optimal blend for coffee with milk or over ice.​
Il Caffè takes you right to the heart of the classic Italian espresso experience. A punchy combination of smooth, velvety taste and roasty, cereal aromas.
