Why coffee matters this Mother’s Day

Tipico coffee

Mother’s Day is a special occasion that calls for a celebration of the unparalleled bond between a mother and her children. While flowers and heartfelt messages are traditional gifts, why not surprise her with an exceptional coffee experience at home this year? Coffee, after all, is more than just a beverage; it’s a moment of pleasure that many mothers cherish in their daily ritual. Mitch Monaghan, Nespresso Coffee Ambassador, shares invaluable insights on how to elevate this daily coffee ritual, particularly on Mother’s Day. When buying a coffee machine to gift your mother, the paramount concern should be whether it can produce quality-tasting coffee. According to Monaghan, the perfect cup starts with the machine’s capability to deliver consistently good coffee, which is where a coffee capsule machine, like Nespresso’s Vertuo Pop, shines. It does away with the intricacies of coffee making, ensuring every cup is a perfect brew. The use of sustainably sourced Nespresso coffee, sealed in recyclable aluminium capsules, further guarantees that each cup is fresh and full of aroma. Ease of use is another critical factor. A machine that operates at the touch of a button and offers various cup sizes can adapt to any coffee preference your mother might have throughout the day. For those mothers who appreciate a hands-off approach in the kitchen without compromising on the quality of their coffee, the Vertuo Lattissima could be the ideal choice, handling milk preparation seamlessly. For the environmentally conscious mother, the sustainability of the coffee machine is a significant consideration. Nespresso’s precision design… Read More

With costs going up, more Aussies than ever are feeling the pinch and with the average household consuming three coffees every day, more and more are opting to make their coffee at home to cut back. New YouGov research, The Nespresso 2022 Australian Coffee Report, shows 73% of Australians are now making their coffee at home in some capacity, with more than 63% (which is 9 million!) saying it’s to save money.

Turn your coffee into a bike: Nespresso and Vélosophy craft beautiful bikes

Velosophy Nespresso bike

Nespresso is one for the environment. Sure, they might pump what could very well amount to over millions of aluminium coffee pods a year, but not only are they not that bad for the environment, but they’ve proved time and time again, the little pods can actually be turned into so many other things. The latest instalment is in the form of partnership with Swedish pushbike manufacturer, Vélosophy, putting what even the designer and founder Jimmy Östholm himself says, is the most stylish bike yet. “We created Vélosophy with a clear purpose –to have a positive impact on the world. I see in Nespresso a strong commitment to sustainability, which is why this has been the dream partnership. We are proud to have co-created a bike that takes on the future. It is beautifully designed, responsibly sourced and sustainably produced,” he said. Taking that typically Scandiavian aesthetic of cleanliness, lightness, quality and durability through dynamic design, the new Vélosophy rides take recycled aluminium from Nespresso pods and use them for the frames of the bikes. Aluminium can be recycled infinitely, meaning that though Nespresso pods might seem to have met the end of their lifespan through making it to a bike’s frame, they can be taken down and reused again at the end of the bike’s life. This all basically amounts to this collaboration as being one of the most sustainable the coffee giant has embarked on yet. The bike’s called RE:CYCLE (obviously) and even includes a capsule-shaped bell and cup-holder basket, allowing the cyclist… Read More
