Take your taste buds on a trip around the world with Nespresso
With the world slowly beginning to open up but many of us still a little bit cagey about international travel, it’s reassuring to know that Kiwis can still satisfy their wanderlust from the comfort of their own homes. This winter, indulge your taste buds with four new additions to Nespresso’s World Explorations range – Paris Espresso, Istanbul Espresso, Rio de Janeiro Espresso and the limited-edition Miami Espresso.
The World Explorations range came to fruition in 2021 as a discovery experience, applying Nespresso’s tried and taste-tested expertise in blending and roasting to create something special for its drinkers. Our go-to roasters curated a journey for coffee lovers to explore and experience local coffee cultures and rituals enjoyed across the world, without having to leave the couch.
The latest locations to be introduced to the Nespresso World Explorations range all possess a strong coffee heritage, from the first coffee merchants and coffeehouses of Istanbul, to Paris’ rich coffee shop culture bolstered by more than 35,000 cafés and coffee-serving restaurants. The Rio de Janeiro Espresso represents the world’s largest coffee producing country, Brazil, and the limited-edition Miami Espresso pays homage to its deeply ingrained Cuban coffee culture. Boasting flavours quintessential to their places of origin, the range’s new espressos offer a worldly experience in your coffee cup, ready to transport you anywhere, anytime.
