nespresso ristretto

Ristretto capsules are described primarily for the Nespresso Original Line. Several listings explicitly note that Original-line capsules are not compatible with Vertuo machines, so check the product listing before purchase.

Ristretto-style brews are listed at about 0.845 fl oz (roughly 25 ml). Some capsules also offer a short espresso option listed at about 1.35 fl oz (roughly 40 ml). Check the capsule listing for the exact recommended cup volume.

Most listings show dark roast for Ristretto capsules, with at least one listing labeled medium roast.

Pack sizes vary by listing and include single 10‑capsule boxes as well as larger packs such as 50, 60, and 120 capsules.

Listings commonly use relatively high intensity ratings (examples include intensity 9, 10 and 12–13) and often list tasting notes such as chocolate, caramel, crushed spice or cassis, fruity notes, and a hint of acidity.

Origins mentioned across listings include South America, Central America, East Africa and other parts of Africa, and Asia.
