Altissio
IN ROYAL ROBES
When Altissio walks in, you’ll notice. South American Arabicas and Brazilian Robusta give it that full-bodied, bold espresso taste. A Costa Rican Arabica adds its soft cereal note. Vertuo Altissio’s a highly roasted coffee cloaked in creamy royal robes. This strong but very balanced, smooth coffee is obtained through the combination of a short prewetting, a slow flow and a high extraction temperature.
ORIGIN
The presence of South American coffee beans create this intense Espresso, while Costa Rican beans balance the full body by bringing soft cereal notes to the blend.
ROASTING
Altissio is intensely and shortly roasted to reveal the full-bodied character of this bold blend.

85% OF ALUMINUM IN OUR VERTUO CAPSULES IS RECYCLED ALUMINUM
Why aluminum?
Aluminum is a perfect barrier to oxygen, light and humidity to protect the freshness and the aromas of high-quality coffee, over time. Besides, is infinitely recyclable and is one of the most widely recycled materials in the world.
The only way to become more circular is to ensure what comes to an end always becomes a new beginning. By the end of 2021, Nespresso planned to convert a complete line of Original coffees into new recycled aluminum capsules and succeeded. And now we will gradually extend this initiative to all Vertuo capsules by the end of 2022. But because Vertuo capsules are slightly larger than the Original, the aluminum content of recycled sources in this range will be 85%.
