What Does Your Favourite #Coffee Say About Your Personality? @Nespresso #SouthAfrica

Hi Friends, 

Research has shown that drinking coffee is good for your health. Not only does a couple of cups a day reduce your risk of a heart attack, but even the aroma of a coffee can also make you feel less stressed. But, did you know that the type of coffee you drink can reveal a lot about your personality? A recent study conducted by California State University on 1,000 coffee enthusiasts assessed what types of coffee people typically drank and associated those habits with numerous psychological traits and personality profiles. So, what does the way you take your coffee say about you?

Black Coffee

Black coffee fans are simple, straightforward purists with a clear sense of what they want. People who opt for an Americano tended to be more pragmatic, patient and minimalistic. Of all the participants in the study, black coffee drinkers are more likely to be introverted. They are calm and conscientious but may be prone to moodiness. Your signature Nespresso range:​ Lungo

Espresso

Espresso drinkers are characterised as bold, intense and well-travelled. The character of these coffee lovers tended to mimic the properties of the espresso - strong and complex, ostentatious and assertive. Espresso drinkers are self-assured, hard-working and tend to challenge leadership. They are also more likely to have a fondness for travel. Your signature Nespresso range:​ Espresso

Cappuccinos and Lattes

The key characteristics of these caffeine aficionados are trendsetting, adventurous, perfectionistic and sensitive. If you have a taste for sweet, frothy coffee varieties, you are more than likely to be extroverted. These creative, honest and motivated people will try anything once and are excellent friends but can be perfectionistic and lose interest quickly. Your signature Nespresso range: ​Ristretto

Flavoured Coffees

People with a penchant for flavoured coffees have been shown to be creative, imaginative, impulsive and prone to stress. They are daydreamers, artists and inventors. Like most creatives, this group tends to be whimsical and impulsive. Sensitive in nature, these coffee drinkers are people-pleasers and can be indecisive. Your signature Nespresso range: ​Variations

Decaf

Key characteristics of decaf coffee drinkers are cautious, observant and pedantic. Why opt for a decaf? Aside from sensitivities to caffeine, this group reported that they enjoy the taste of coffee but not the effect. This indicates that a decaf drinker tends to seek control - both over themselves and others. These keen observers are confident and know what they want. While composed, decaf drinkers are likely to obsess over the finer details and are prone to worry. Your signature Nespresso range:​ Decaffeinato

Whatever your personality or preference, Nespresso has the perfect coffee to match your taste. Capsules can be purchased from all Nespresso ​boutiques and booths nationwide, or online at www.za.buynespresso.com and through the Nespresso Club​ on 0800 637773.

A Taste of #Paris For the Festive Season @Nespresso #Coffee #GottaLuvCoffee

Hi Friends,

The festive season is truly the most wonderful time of the year. Around the world, friends, family and loved ones come together to toast the highs of the year that has passed, and the hopes for the year that is to come. The spirit of the season is defined by celebration: exchanging gifts, spending quality time with loved ones and making new special memories. The joy is tangible at this time of the year, and nothing encapsulates the mood of the season quite like the magic of Paris.

In order to celebrate the indulgence, opulence, and wonder of the festive season, Nespresso has launched the new Limited Edition Variations inspired by Parisian Gourmandise. The Variations coffees center on the sweet treats synonymous with the festive season, and are inspired by the traditional flavors of Parisian patisseries including Macaron and Praline. These quintessentially French flavors will instantly transport you to a Parisian cafe from the first sip. These Variations boast two unique flavor creations and, in true French fashion, include a Paris Black espresso coffee that caters to those preferring coffee in its pure taste.

The decadence and delight of each of these three Nespresso Variations coffees are captured by their packaging, uniquely designed by a renowned international interior designer, India Mahdavi. Based in Paris, Mahdavi has created some of the world’s most iconic modern spaces including The Gallery at Sketch in London, Jean François Piège in Paris and APT in New York. Treating each creation as though it is a couture piece, Mahdavi’s influence on the Nespresso Variations is evident in the range’s pastel hues and playful designs. She has created a collection fit for the most discerning of coffee and design aficionados.

Mahdavi on the collaboration: “I sought to bring a oneiric dimension to Nespresso ’s world in which these new capsules appear as imaginary delights, floating like sweet clouds in the sky. In distancing itself from various graphic codes, Nespresso speaks to the senses - celebrating taste under all its aspects, ranging from sight to touch via smell, with subtly sweet aromas. I wanted to add a hint of reverie, offering delightful capsules for the eyes to relish and to then fly away in each and everyone’s imagination.”

Each of the Variations has been based on the Nespresso Livanto coffee blend which consists of pure Arabica from Southern and Central America. It is well-balanced with a roasted caramelized note providing roundness and balance in the finished coffees

Nespresso Variations Macaron
A harmonious combination of cereal notes and a subtle and sweet almond flavor, emblematic of the macaron pastry.
Intensity: 6
Serving size: Espresso (40ml)

Nespresso Variations Praline
This flavored espresso pairs the roundness of Livanto’s base with a delicate roasted hazelnut flavor, enhanced by a touch of caramel sweetness. A harmonious blend reminiscent of a praliné dessert.
Intensity: 6
Serving size: Espresso (40ml)

Nespresso Paris Black
A very aromatic blend of Arabicas, emboldened by Robusta. It displays notes of cereal and nuts in a syrupy texture, combined with spicy and woody tones.
Intensity: 9 Serving size:
Espresso (40ml)

Coffee Connoisseurs are Going Back to Coffee’s Birthplaces #ArabicaEthiopiaHarrar #RobustaUganda @Nespresso

Hi Friends, 

 

For centuries, people across the globe have sought out the wondrous experience of drinking coffee. Coffee has always been so much more than a simple beverage: it is a social experience entrenched in the culture. The celebrational quality of coming together to enjoy a coffee moment and sharing stories, music, conversation and camaraderie is a beloved ritual enjoyed by people from all walks of life.

Now, in an age of contemporary coffee culture, Nespresso is treating coffee lovers to a taste of where it all began. Embark on a journey of discovery to the mythical origins of coffee with two new Limited Edition coffees, Arabica Ethiopia Harrar and Robusta Uganda. Bursting with myth and flavour and immersed in folklore, these Limited Editions take inspiration from the birthplaces of coffee, Ethiopia and Uganda, and the mystical discovery stories around these regions.

THE MYTH OF ARABICA
The Curious Goats
Transport yourself to the ancient highlands of Ethiopia, where the story of Kaldi, a young goat herder begins. He sat in the shade one afternoon and watched over his goats. In the heat of the day, Kaldi drifted off to sleep and left his goats to wander off into the wilderness. The goats discovered and started to eat some red cherries from the bushes.

When Kaldi awoke to find his goats gone, he hastily went in search of them. He found them leaping and dancing around the mysterious bushes. He picked up a cherry and tried it for himself. He too felt elevated and began to dance alongside his goats.

A passing monk was extremely suspicious of the situation and decided to burn these mysterious cherries. Soon after he threw them in the flames, delicious aromas started to rise. Enchanted, the monk brushed the beans out of the fire, crushed them up and combined them with water to make the captivating drink we now know as Arabica coffee.

Arabica Ethiopia Harrar is a delicious espresso with notes of ripe fruits, fresh flowers that boasts a remarkably velvety body. Best enjoyed as an Espresso or a Lungo. Intensity: 5

THE MYTH OF ROBUSTA
The Unity Bond
To discover the alleged birthplace of Robusta, we are in the bygone land of Buganda, now known as Uganda. Here, the precious Robusta coffee beans were part of a sacred ritual that united families. A single coffee cherry would be split and two people would each eat one of the two beans from inside. From that moment onwards, the spirit of the bean would connect both families and descendants for eternity in a pact of friendship and loyalty.

Nespresso believes that the journey of coffee is just as important as the taste and that the heritage that inspires the coffee of today should be celebrated with every sip.

Robusta Uganda is surprisingly sweet and undeniably intense, rich in cacao notes. Best enjoyed as an Espresso or Ristretto. Intensity: 10

Arabica Ethiopia Harrar and Robusta Uganda will be available for a limited period from Nespresso Boutiques and Booths nationwide, as well as the new Booth at Mall of Africa, and through orders from the Nespresso Club on 0800 637773 or online at www.buynespresso.com.

Around the World in a Coffee Moment @Nespresso #LattissimaOne

Hi Friends,

Creating and enjoying your perfect cup of coffee is no longer a daily chore: it is a ritual that is ingrained in our lifestyle and our culture. While your coffee moment is a routine that people across the world have in common, different cultures and nationalities all have a unique way in which they create their coffees. Here are some of the wonderful ways that coffee is made and enjoyed around the world, all of which can be made using the versatile Nespresso Lattissima One.

America
Americans are famous for creating fancy coffees like the Macchiato, but this nation can be defined by their coffee namesake, the Americano: a single or double shot of espresso topped up with hot water.

South Africa
South Africans have a penchant for milky coffees, so their beverage of choice is a flat white. This is similar to a latte though smaller in volume and can be made by pouring microfoam (steamed milk) over a shot of espresso.

Greece
The frappé is a popular summer beverage in Greece, made by pouring an espresso over ice and topping it off with milk foam. Try this by using the Nespresso Intenso on Ice or Leggero on Ice, limited edition capsules created specifically to be enjoyed as a cold drink

Italy
The classic Italian coffee is an espresso-like Nespresso Roma - served with a slice of lemon, which is said to amplify the coffee’s sweeter notes.

Vietnam
Vietnamese people are renowned for a very sweet and a very strong brew called Cà phê đá. This is made by brewing intense, dark coffee directly into a cup of condensed milk and ice.

Spain
The Spaniards enjoy their coffee on the sweeter side. Cafe Bombon, as it is known, is created by stirring an equal amount of condensed milk into black coffee.

France
The French serve their coffee, Cafe au lait, with equal parts steamed milk and freshly brewed cup. Best served in a big cup for extra ooh la la.

Germany
German coffee is the very definition of decadent Pharisäer is made with espresso, rum, and sugar, and topped with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.

Nespresso Lattissima One : One Machine. Multiple Possibilities.
Wherever you are around the globe, try your hand at a variety of recipes and make your coffee and milk moments simple and delicious with the Nespresso Lattissima One. The luxurious Lattissima One provides the perfect convenient, compact and easy-to-use solution - your favorite coffee and milk drink is the touch of a button away. Simply fill the specially designed milk container to the stipulated level for your recipe, press the button and the machine will froth the fresh milk directly into your cup. Voila! Ready to enjoy, just the way you like it. The Nespresso Lattissima One (R3,250.00) is available in Mocha Brown or Silky White and can be purchased from all Nespresso boutiques and booths nationwide, or online at www.buynespresso.com and through the Nespresso Club on 0800 63 777 3

#NespressoOnIce Is The Hottest Way to Keep Cool This Summer #Jozi #CapeTown @Nespresso

Hi Friends,

From January 24 onwards, the Nespresso on Ice Truck is hitting the streets of Joburg and Cape Town to serve up a sip of something special this summer. Following the launch of two Limited Edition coffees that have been specially crafted for iced coffee preparation, the Nespresso on Ice truck will be cooling down the city’s hot spots by delivering delicious iced coffee. What better way to enjoy a moment of perfect refreshment in the height of summer?

Intenso on Ice and Leggero on Ice are the first coffees Nespresso has crafted specifically to be enjoyed as iced coffees. Intenso on Ice is a bold coffee with cereal and cocoa notes and an intense, roasted finish. If prepared as an Intenso on Ice Macchiato, it reveals a smooth and creamy texture with biscuit notes. In contrast, when enjoyed as a black iced coffee, Leggero on Ice offers delicate fruity and lemon notes with lingering aromatics and a full-bodied, smooth texture. If paired with milk to create a Leggero on IceMacchiato, it develops toasted notes and a more milky and sweet flavor.

While the Nespresso on Ice truck is the coolest place to be, it couldn’t be easier to have your Nespressomoment on ice in the comfort of your own home. The Nespresso coffee experts have created a simple, three-step recipe for a perfectly proportioned and delicious iced coffee, with water or milk to create the perfect iced coffee treat. Follow the easy three-step method:

STEP 1 Add 3 extra-large ice cubes to a glass (90g or 7 regular sized ice cubes)
STEP 2 Top with an Espresso serving (40 ml) of Intenso on Ice or Leggero on Ice
STEP 3 Finish with 90 ml of cold water or cold milk froth (approx. 6 tablespoons) Voila!
