[24th OCTOBER 2024, KUALA LUMPUR] Nespresso rings in the festive season, encouraging coffee lovers to spend their Unforgettable Holidays with a new selection of coffees co-created by French Michelin Star Chef Jean Imbert, offering the perfect opportunity to indulge in meaningful moments. From Christmas and New Year celebrations to cosy family reunions, the end of the year is an ideal time for sharing and gifting, making Nespresso’s latest collection a fitting addition to any holiday gathering. Accompanied by stylish accessories and enchanting gifts, the collection adds a touch of elegance to the holidays.
New gastronomic coffees
Following his work on numerous luxury projects worldwide and his recent appointment as Head Chef of Belmond’s Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, Chef Imbert now brings his gastronomic expertise to Nespresso’s latest coffee creations. Inspired by Belmond’s legendary art of travel and train journeys around the world, the Nespresso Unforgettable Holidays campaign will visually transport coffee aficionados on an enchanting quest, seeking to awaken the senses with new flavours influenced by global exploration.
“I am deeply honoured to have been given the extraordinary opportunity to collaborate with Nespresso in crafting these exquisite and exclusive coffee creations. Through tireless dedication and close collaboration with their entire team, we have meticulously refined these masterpieces, each born from a new and exciting challenge. I am immensely proud of the outcome, as these coffees embody the cherished memories of my travels, evoking the essence of distant lands with notes of peanut and roasted sesame. Additionally, they capture the spirit of Paris, reminiscent of the iconic croissant aux amandes. Lastly, an unforgettable Espresso, aptly named, completes this remarkable collection,” said Chef Imbert.
The Unforgettable Espresso for Original range and Double Espresso for Vertuo range evoke long train journeys through Latin America: an aromatic blend including Arabica beans from Peru and Costa Rica emboldened by Robusta, the coffee boasts toasted cereal and woody notes. Savour this black or as a delectable Latte Macchiato on Original or Double Cappuccino on Vertuo for a real taste of luxury.
Based on an original idea from Jean Imbert, the Almond Croissant Flavour will transport you to the heart of Paris. This flavoured coffee releases almond and buttery pastry notes, evoking a sense of childhood memories for the Chef. Enjoy it as a Cappuccino and let it unleash the almond notes.
The Peanut and Roasted Sesame Flavour is a tribute to Imbert’s gastronomic voyages. This coffee flavour combines notes of toasted sesame, popcorn and mixed nuts to create an unmissable, warming drink this festive season.
The Gifting Odyssey
The Nespresso Advent Calendar returns in 2024, unveiling one coffee behind each door, allowing you to discover new flavours and revisit your favourite Nespresso coffees. With a packaging that echoes the collection’s theme of travel, this festive treat will transport you to magical places from the comfort of your home. Designed to surprise and delight, the Advent Calendars will include the limited-edition festive coffees co-created with Jean Imbert and an exclusive limited-edition decorated mug in porcelain for the last day. Nespresso also offers the Limited-Edition Travel Mug as part of the Festive collection, crafted from 90% recycled stainless steel in a striking, deep blue, reflecting the campaign’s distinctive look and feel.
Creative recipes to cosy up this season
This festive season, Nespresso has created new recipes, specially designed to optimise the flavours developed by Chef Jean Imbert. Try the Peanut and Roasted Sesame Flavour coffee with whipped cream, topped with toasted sesame seeds and a touch of honey, or the limited-edition Almond Croissant Flavour as a Gourmet Almond Croissant Latte with smooth milk and the subtlety of orange blossom. Coffee lovers can also indulge in the elegance of an exquisite mocktail that combines vanilla syrup, pineapple juice, freshly squeezed lime, and an intense touch of the Unforgettable Double Espresso.
