Ispirazione Roma is inspired by the different layers of civilization towering up to the present day, where the Modern adds its layer of elegance to the history of the city. The coffee has a popular taste forged by time and the rich southern Italian influences, enlivened by a dash of modern elegance found in its delicate acidity. Roman roasters shrewdly developed their roasting techniques to achieve an aromatic profile that wisely combined the popular ancient taste with a twist of modernity. To mirror their skill, we gave Ispirazione Roma the shortest and lightest roast of our range. It results in a subtle balance between the intensity and depth of the woodsy, cereal notes, and the finesse of the acidity and elegant aromatics - true to Rome’s rich history of contrasts.. A shot of this Intenso coffee and you’re headed straight into a virtual Roman holiday.

Ispirazione Venezia gets its inspiration from the master blending of Venetian roasters once at the crossroads of two civilizations. Ispirazione Venezia celebrates the longest local coffee tradition of Italy with a roast that combines the intense notes of the Ottoman influence and the highly aromatic European coffee profiles. These influences arrived with the Venetian traders who led the way in importing coffee to Italy. The city was a bridge for the Ottoman culture, and soon the port bustled with master blenders and roasters. Over the centuries, Venetians roasters honed their craft, passing down the savoir-faire through the generations. To reflect this inherited know-how of Venetians roasters to combine intense and aromatic coffees in symphonic harmony, we gave Ispirazione Venezia the longest roast of the range. It harmonizes all the diverse elements of its Latin American Arabicas – a hint of fruity and floral aromas, the distinct cereal fragrance, and those luxurious notes of sweet caramel. When you add milk to this full-bodied espresso, it adds to the rounded smoothness and subtle sweetness of Ispirazione Venezia.
