Price history
Filled markers are recorded price or stock changes per capsule; hollow markers are additional archived sightings that confirmed the same local price. A line spans only dates on which the listing kept being seen, gaps mean continuity is not established, and dashed stretches are periods observed out of stock.
Converted to $ at the reference rate of each observation's own date, so every market is what it would have cost you on the day it was read.
Hover a line or a market name to read it; press one to keep it lit, and press again to release. Several can be held at once.

About this coffee
Origin
Arabica and Robusta coffees from Uganda, Ethiopia, amongst other origins.
Roasting
The Arabicas and the Robusta are roasted separately. The Arabicas are long roasted at a medium to dark color.
The Robusta is dark roasted for a shorter time in order to preserve all its aromas. All the coffees composing the blend are coarsely ground in order to allow a good mix and achieve an optimal homogeneity in the final iced coffee recipe.
Common questions
Which machines does Ispirazione Salentina fit?
Ispirazione Salentina is a Vertuo capsule and fits Vertuo machines only. Vertuo and Original capsules are physically different and are not interchangeable. The official store also sells a Original capsule under the name Ispirazione Salentina. They are different products with the same name, so check which line a pack is for before buying: this page covers the Vertuo one.
Is Ispirazione Salentina a capsule or a coffee pod?
Both words describe the same thing. The manufacturer calls them capsules, and English-language stores also say coffee pods; Ispirazione Salentina is one sealed portion of ground coffee either way. This site says "capsule" throughout only for consistency — searching for "Ispirazione Salentina pods" and "Ispirazione Salentina capsules" will find the same coffee.
What does Ispirazione Salentina taste like?
The published flavour notes for Ispirazione Salentina are cocoa, cocoa flavor, intense, roasted, spicy, woody.
What cup size is Ispirazione Salentina brewed at?
Storefronts list Ispirazione Salentina at Espresso (40 ml).
Can Ispirazione Salentina be brewed shorter and stronger for a milk drink?
On Vertuo machines with Coffee Creations the same capsule brews a shorter, stronger cup, intended as the base for iced and milk drinks. It is an extra mode, not the only one these machines have: a normal cup is still one press. On Vertuo Next, Pop, Pop+, Lattissima and Creatista you turn it on by pressing the coffee button twice — it blinks turquoise, the mode applies to that cup only, and the machine goes back to brewing normally afterwards; Vertuo Up has a dedicated Coffee Creations button, and there the mode stays on until the machine is switched off. The size steps down one place: an Espresso capsule brews as a Ristretto (25 ml), Double Espresso and Gran Lungo brew as an Espresso (40 ml), and a Mug capsule brews as a Double Espresso (80 ml). The machine refuses the mode for Ristretto, Cold Brew Style and Carafe capsules — the mode switches off again and the barcode size is brewed — and Nespresso does not recommend it for Alto or the Coffee+ range. In the rare case that the double press does nothing, try updating the machine’s firmware from the Nespresso app. Older Vertuo models, including Vertuo Plus, brew only the size written in the barcode.
