Rizopoulos Nespresso Black Velvet capsules are aluminium capsules filled with an Arabica and Robusta blend, compatible with Nespresso Original machines. They give a strong, Italian-style espresso with full body, rich crema and a deep, penetrating taste. Each box has 10 capsules.

Why an aluminium capsule and not plastic?

Aluminium seals the coffee airtight. No air gets in, no light. So the aroma and the freshness stay locked inside, right up to the moment you press the button. That is why the espresso comes out with rich crema and a clean taste. When you are done, the aluminium is recyclable.

How does it taste?

A strong, intense, Italian-style espresso with full body, rich crema and a deep, penetrating taste. It is one of our strongest coffees, for those who want a really strong coffee in the cup.

Where is the coffee from?

It is an Arabica and Robusta blend, with beans from Brazil, India and Colombia. We roast it dark ourselves at our roastery. We have been making coffee since 1901, and now you have that same fresh coffee in a capsule, with all the ease of your Nespresso machine. See the whole range of our Nespresso capsules.

Which machines does it fit?
