Become your own home barista with Nespresso Favourites

NES FAV CAP 04a scaled

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. While Australian cafe culture remains strong, it seems that the at home Nespresso supplements the daily coffee intake and we’re still enjoying the best of both worlds.  Of course saving cash isn’t the only benefit, with 67% of Australians reporting they found it convenient, and 51% saying they were confident their coffee would always be made exactly the way they liked it. In fact, Australians were largely very satisfied with their own coffee-making  skills, with 75% of coffee drinkers claiming the quality of their own homemade “When you’re consuming several coffees a day, it’s a huge benefit in times like these to be able to pare back your spending by making some of those coffee orders at home without having to compromise on quality,” said Nespresso Coffee Ambassador, Mitch Monaghan. “Australians will continue to visit their local café for that social experience, but they also want to know the first coffee they make as they roll out of bed in the morning is up to standard. Nespresso’s AAA Sustainable Quality Program™ ensures the coffee you buy is both the highest-quality and sustainably sourced.”… Read More

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

Nespresso launches ‘Reviving Origins’ to bring back lost coffees

Coffee cups

Nespresso not only makes good coffee, but they do good things for coffee, too. For example, they recently announced that they’re launching a new campaign to bring back life to coffee regions that’ve found themselves under threat. Called Nespresso Reviving Origins, the new program – through its AAA Sustainable QualityTM Program – is working with farmers in regions that have been devastated by conflicts, economic hardships or environmental disasters. Nespresso’s also launched two new single origin coffees for the hardcore lovers, one from Zimbabwe, Africa and the other from South America’s Colombia. Called Tamuka mu Zimbabwe and Esperanza de Colombia, these exquisite and rare coffees have been virtually unknown, slowly disappearing for decades. Now, through Nespresso’s investment and the commitment of partners, coffee farmers in these two regions are starting to rebuild sustainable livelihoods, restore their local economies and bring much-needed development to their rural communities. Tamuka mu Zimbabwe and Esperanza de Colombia will be available in Australia from May 2019 – one of only 18 countries to receive the rare seasonal blends, which Nespresso is working towards establishing as part of its permanent range through the Reviving Origins program. If quality, untouched coffee is your thing, then head to the Nespresso website to see more.

Nespresso’s got a new flavour all the way from Costa Rica

Nespresso Costa Rica

One of the world’s finest coffee beans comes from Cosa Rica, so it’s no surprise that this month, Nespresso is going wild by launching its new Limited Edition Master Origin Costa Rica. The latest coffee from Nespresso’s Master Origin collection is all about Costa Rica’s lush green landscapes and bubbling natural volcanic spring water.  They make it with locally grown Arabica coffee bean that’ve been selectively handpicked from the Central Highlands, then soaked for 12 hours in natural hyper thermal mineral water at temperatures ranging from 65-70?C. It’s is a unique patented process that means the natural minerals thoroughly cleanse the beans and enhance their finest characteristics, creating a perfectly balanced taste. It’s a limited edition brew that showcases, for the first time, a rare and innovative soaking and fermenting process in hot spring water, used to highlight the malty sweet cereal character of this coffee. Edgar Salgado, a Costa Rican farmer and roaster, patented this technique which is local to the Central Highlands of Costa Rica and proudly produced by Nespresso.  It’s available now for a limited period from Nespresso Boutiques across Australia, online at nespresso.com.
