Caffe Vergnano 1882 Intenso Espresso Capsules, 50 Capsules - Compostable, Compatible with Nespresso Original Line

Convenient Brewing with Your Nespresso Machine

These Caffe Vergnano Intenso capsules are designed specifically for Nespresso Original Line machines—think Inissia, Pixie, Citiz, or Lattissima. Just pop one in, press the button, and you'll have a perfectly brewed espresso in no time. Each capsule is hermetically sealed to lock in freshness, so every cup tastes as intended. The 50-pack gives you plenty for daily use or when mates pop over. Compatible with other Original Line compatible machines too.

A Taste of Italy: Flavour Profile

Caffe Vergnano Intenso offers a medium roast with a rich, velvety body and notes of dark chocolate and toasted nuts. The aroma is intensely aromatic, with hints of roasted coffee and a slight sweetness. The finish is smooth and long-lasting, with a pleasant bitterness that lingers. This espresso is versatile enough to enjoy on its own or as a base for milk-based drinks like lattes, cappuccinos, or a solid flat white. The robust flavour profile holds up well even when you add milk or sugar.

The Perfect Blend: Arabica and Robusta

The Intenso blend brings together premium Arabica and quality Robusta beans for a well-rounded shot. Arabica contributes delicate floral and fruity notes, while Robusta adds a bold, creamy body and a caffeine kick. This synergy creates a persistent crema and a satisfying mouthfeel, making it ideal for those who enjoy a strong, full-flavoured espresso. It's a hallmark of Caffe Vergnano's commitment to quality and tradition.

Why Choose Caffe Vergnano Intenso?

With over a century of Italian coffee expertise, Caffe Vergnano 1882 delivers a genuine espresso experience. These capsules are imported directly from Italy, so you're getting authentic flavours. The medium roast strikes a perfect balance between smoothness and intensity, making it suitable any time of day. Plus, each capsule is compostable, reflecting a commitment to sustainability without compromising on taste.

Compostable and Environmentally Conscious

In an effort to reduce waste, Caffe Vergnano has designed these capsules to be compostable. After brewing, you can toss them in your compost bin where they'll break down naturally. This eco-friendly approach aligns with the growing demand for sustainable coffee options. By choosing these compostable capsules, you can enjoy your espresso while minimising your environmental footprint. The packaging is also designed with sustainability in mind.

How to Enjoy Your Intenso Espresso

For the best experience, use fresh, cold water and preheat your machine. Brew directly into a prewarmed cup to maintain heat. A single shot is about 40 ml, but you can use two capsules for a double. Pair this espresso with a piece of dark chocolate or a biscotti for an authentic Italian treat. Whether you start your day with it or enjoy it after dinner, the Intenso espresso is sure to satisfy.
