Inspired by a barista's craftsmanship to perfectly harmonise the complex flavours in coffee and mastering milk preparation, Nespresso undertook multiple sensory tests to define the exact levels of roasting and the ideal coffee grinding techniques to create the BARISTAlimited editions. KarstenRanitzsch, Head of Coffee at Nespresso explained, "From the many discussions with our consumers we have understood that a great coffee in black does not necessarily become an equally great coffee in white. Like the best baristas in the world, we have used our understanding and knowledge about coffee and paired it with the understanding that our consumers who love coffee with milk are looking for ideal bitterness, acidity, body, flavours and aromas in their cup. We are proud to have created three different Limited Edition coffees, which are specifically developed for those who like their Nespresso white, such as an Espresso Macchiato."
The BARISTA limited edition coffees are set to delight any coffee lover with three tempting options:
- Try BARISTA Chiaro for a Cappuccino
Tasting notes: The coffee has been specially crafted by the Nespresso experts to prepare a sweet, indulgent Cappuccino with a smooth creamy taste, roundness and exceptionally delicate biscuit notes
Intensity: A medium-to-dark roasted blend of Intensity 5 when black, that becomes exceptionally smooth and round when combined with milk.
Best enjoyed: 25ml coffee topped with60ml milk froth
- SampleBARISTAScuro for an Espresso Macchiato
Tasting notes: Carefully created for an intense, flavourful and full-bodied coffee finished with a gentle touch of milk foam
Intensity:A medium-to-dark roasted blend of Intensity 8 when black, that keeps its strong character when combined with milk.
Best enjoyed: 40ml Espresso with two spoons ofmilk foam to retain the strong coffee character
- TasteBARISTACorto as a black Ristretto
