Nespresso goes Brazilian

To find inspiration for their new limited edition Grand Cru, Nespresso looked to the coffee loving country of Brazil. 

Taking inspiration from the nation’s deep coffee culture, the Nespresso connoisseurs developed a unique and powerful new Limited Edition Pure Origin Grand Cru, entitled Cafezinho do Brasil.

Cafezinho do Brasil is a Pure Origin coffee which uses carefully-selected Arabica beans from Southern Brazil. Nespresso worked closely with local farmers to hand pick coffee beans which suit Brazil’s preference for bitterness, roasted notes and a distinct aroma.

Check out three of the delicious ways you can enjoy Nespresso's new limited edition Grand Cru...
