Celebrate a perfect Nordic coffee moment with Nespresso this festive season

“Find your Fika”

28.10.2019

 

This holiday season, Nespresso has designed its iconic end of year range around indulgent Nordic moments. Incorporating the growing Scandinavian-inspired cultural trends of Hygge and Fika, Nespresso is encouraging its customers to put the busy festive season on pause, for a moment’s connection with a friend or family member.

In partnership with renowned Danish designer, Louise Campbell, Nespresso has launched a range of Limited Edition Original and Vertuo coffees and accessories, which take design and flavour inspiration from the Nordic countries. Available to purchase are four unique, indulgent flavoured coffees, two black coffees and a range of Limited Edition accessories, designed with the most discerning of coffee and design aficionados in mind.

 

As part of Nespresso Original, the Nordic-inspired Limited Edition includes two new indulgent flavoured coffees: Variations Nordic Almond Cake Flavoured and Variations Nordic Cloudberry Flavoured. Based on traditional Nordic ingredients and influences, the Variations Nordic Almond Cake Flavoured coffee features a combination of biscuit and vanilla aromas, with a Livanto base, inspired by the traditional Norwegian cake, Kvæfjordkake. The Variations Nordic Cloudberry Flavoured coffee features the delicate, tart taste of cloudberries which grow in the extreme climates of the Nordic countries. The coffee has all the roundness of the Livanto base with a sweet, jammy fruitiness and a hint of acidity.

Two Limited Editions flavoured coffees will also be available for the Nespresso Vertuo range: Variations Nordic Cinnamon Swirl coffee and Variations Nordic Vanilla Princess Cake coffee. Cinnamon is a classic Swedish flavour and is incorporated into most coffee breaks, with a Kanelbulle pastry, otherwise known as the cinnamon swirl. The Variations Nordic Cinnamon Swirl coffee marries a smooth texture, biscuity notes, and medium intensity of Half Caffeinato blend with notes of brioche dough and cinnamon. The Variations Nordic Vanilla Princess Cake coffee is based on the iconic Swedish green cake, Prinsesstårta. This coffee features an indulgent creamy vanilla taste, marzipan sweetness and subtle hint of raspberry paired with the smooth texture, biscuity notes, and medium intensity of Half Caffeinato blend.

For those that enjoy staying true to the original long black, Nordic Black coffee is available to purchase in both Original and Vertuo capsules. It is an aromatic African and South American Arabica blend. Elegant, sweet fruity notes combine with a smooth and lingering cereal aftertaste to create a light bodied, long, black coffee with a medium intensity.

Louise Campbell’s Scandinavian influences are clear to see in the design of the Limited Edition capsules, sleeves, and accompanying accessories. The Nespresso Nordic-inspired range perfectly reflects the Nordic trend of stylish minimalism with traditional influences of nature, as seen in designs which illustrate the many layers of the Nordic culture and landscape. The collection will be completed by a new permanent range of travel mugs, plus two Limited Edition types of PIXIE Cups and a View Cube. Each accessory elevates every coffee moment, making for the perfect festive gift this holiday season.

 

Louise Campbell commented: “I was thrilled to bits when I heard that my proposal for making the capsules even more precious than they already are by varying the designs was accepted, making each of them as fascinating as pebbles on a beach and as irresistible to collect. I took this idea of variation with me through the rest of the campaign. I hope the products and designs will provide a breath of fresh, Nordic air during a very busy season. I also hope it will remind the viewer of the beauty of nature and the thrill of paying attention to detail. Each part of my work can be seen as a postcard from the North. Be it a capsule, a shopping bag or a sleeve.”

In addition to the series of capsules and accessories, a Limited Edition Essenza Mini metal machine will come in a modern silver colour, designed to complement modern kitchen designs. The Essenza Mini provides the perfect Nespresso coffee experience and adds a stylish look and feel to any contemporary kitchen.

So go and celebrate the joy of Nordic indulgence this festive season with Nespresso, by sharing a coffee and a special connection with a loved one during the busiest time of the year.
