As a child coffee meant a cup of instant. How things have changed. At first, rather complicated Italian coffee machines hit UK shops – wonderful coffee, but a little expertise was required. Then came Nespresso.
Nespresso has transformed coffee-making. The neat machines sit unobtrusively in the corner of any kitchen. You simply fill the reservoir with water, insert the capsule and press a button. Even I can make a fabulous cup of coffee – with crema – every time.
The latest range of Vertuo Nespresso machines use Centrifusion technology – but you don’t need to know that – just press the button.
The pods come in five cup sizes from Alto (414ml) down to Espresso (40ml) – yes you really can be your own barista.
There’s a myriad of Nespresso coffee ranges – to suit your taste or mood, but the new limited edition Nordic Moments Range is perfect for the Festive Season. These fun flavours are inspired by Nordic culture and include Vanilla Princess Cake (perfect to be drunk with a slice of … well you’ve guessed), Cinnamon Swirl, and the simple but sophisticated Nordic Black. There’s a lovely story behind the traditional Skandinavian Princess Cake, so-called because three small princesses loved it so much, and the matching coffee is a blend of decaffeinated and regular roast coffee with natural vanilla flavours. The Cinnamon Swirl blend, named after a rather delicious pastry also contains decaffeinated and regular coffee plus natural flavourings. However Nordic Black is pure regular coffee, consisting of African and South American Arabica beans – definitely my favourite. There’s a Nordic Almond Cake and a Cloudberry blend too, so why not get into the Christmas mood with this great new range?
