The holiday season is around the corner, which means it’s time to indulge in festive coffees and seasonal gifts. Here are some of our faves from Nespresso’s festive range!
This year, coffee lovers are in for a treat. If you’re on the hunt for festive gifts that will enchant someone who loves a good cup of joe, Nespresso has all the options you need. This festive season, Nespresso is collaborating with Colombian fashion designer Johanna Ortiz to delight coffee lovers with a limited edition collection inspired by the forest. From limited edition festive coffees to a stylish coffee machine, these are our fave gifts and recipes!
Gifts of the forest
We’re digging Nespresso’s new festive collection with three amazing coffees inspired by flavours of the forest. Forest Black features shade-grown coffees from Columbia and beyond, with wood and spice notes to jazz up the brew. Forest Fruit Flavour is a juicy pick that comes with notes of berry and sweet pastry, all in a smooth Latin American and African Arabica blend. Lastly, Forest Almond is for those who love a touch of nuttiness in their brew, complemented by the taste of fresh almond and warm vanilla. Available in the Original and Vertuo range, all these capsules are also beautifully decorated by Johanna Ortiz.
Festive coffee recipes
In line with the festive celebrations, Nespresso has created three unique recipes perfect for your year-end festive gatherings. Here’s a taste: try ‘The Forager’, a warm, woody delight with notes of mushroom and maple syrup. To create this, add 10g of chaga mushroom extract and 120ml whipping cream into the Aeroccino device and select ‘cold froth’. Add 10ml of maple syrup in a mug, extract 230ml of Forest Black coffee, and top it all off with the whipped cream mix. For finishing touches, place a shaved button mushroom or chestnut mushroom on the drink and sprinkle some fresh dill.

If you’re almost done with your festive shopping and just need a stocking filler to top things off, we recommend the Nomad Travel Mug ($30). Nespresso has launched a new burgundy shade that’s ideal for the festivities, and we love how it’s a stylish way to take your coffee on-the-go.
For the home baristas, wow them with the Lume Cappuccino Cups ($35 for a set of two) for a contemporary, classy way to drink their fave brews. The white porcelain cups, which come with two saucers in translucent ochre red, are a beautiful and elegant gift.

Surprise your coffee-loving friend with the Lume Mia Capsules Dispenser ($40) – this is perfect for Christmas or a housewarming for new homeowners, too. Or, gift them the Pixie Espresso Duo Cups in Ristretto and Decaffeinato ($45). They’ll keep your coffee warm with their double stainless steel exterior.
