Nespresso Invites Exploration of Summer Flavors with One-Touch Convenience: Limited Edition Iced Coffee Recipes to Launch May 14 (Thursday)

NESPRESSO (Nestlé Nespresso K.K., Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Sylvain Simard), which remains committed to providing capsule coffee, dedicated coffee machines, and total support for enjoying a "blissful coffee experience," will release a limited-edition collection of iced coffee recipes that vividly evoke the summer mood, starting May 14 (Thursday).

Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, Nespresso's theme for this summer is "Summer of ’86," focusing on the summer of 1986, the year the brand was born. The newly introduced flavored coffee is "Yuzu Vanilla Over Ice," which uses the aroma of Japanese yuzu, one of the three countries where Nespresso first launched. In addition, including other iced coffee recipes that encourage the exploration of summer flavors, a total of 5 types for "Vertuo" and 4 types for "Original" will be available. Furthermore, stylish limited-edition accessories, vividly adorned with this year's theme colors, will also be released on the same day. This elevates the usual iced coffee time into an experience akin to a momentary summer escape.

Nespresso's experts are passionate about creating a blissful cup, from the cultivation of coffee cherries to the moment of tasting the coffee. By extracting high-quality coffee sealed in flavor-preserving aluminum capsules with an easy-to-operate dedicated coffee machine, anyone can enjoy a blissful coffee experience at home.

Every year, the iced coffee recipes released in summer are blended and roasted to bring out richer aromas when poured over ice. Their refreshing and invigorating taste is perfect not only for relaxing at home but also for summer outings.

This summer, celebrating its 40th anniversary, Nespresso presents a collection themed "Summer of ’86," creating a free and relaxed mood reminiscent of a summer vacation. This summer's debut limited-edition iced coffee recipe is "Yuzu Vanilla Over Ice," a refreshing Japanese yuzu and sweet vanilla flavor that will stir the heart, available for both "Original" and "Vertuo" systems. Nespresso, which has pursued taste for 40 years, has adopted the familiar Japanese yuzu flavor for the first time. Leveraging its coffee expertise and technology, with a playful touch, it has created an exceptional coffee experience.

In addition, classic limited-edition iced coffee recipes that captivate fans every year will reappear in the lineup. This includes flavored coffees that have been well-received, such as those harmonizing smooth caramel aroma with coconut vanilla flavor, as well as iced coffee recipes that allow the full presence of the coffee itself to be enjoyed, whether black or with milk, offering a rich lineup.

Furthermore, convenient portable accessories are added, and the uplifting taste of iced coffee and stylish items expand the joy of creating diverse iced coffee arrangements, stimulating the adventurous spirit of exploring summer flavors.

Sophisticated Accessories that Shine in the Summer Sun

Indispensable for summer outings, the popular iced coffee tumbler will be joined by a vibrant pink bubblegum color this year. Practical yet strikingly beautiful, its design seamlessly blends into any scene, from morning commutes to sun-drenched afternoon moments.

Also, the iconic "Travel Mug" will see the return of last year's popular summer-like pop color, "City Sun Yellow." It maintains temperature for both iced and hot beverages, adding a subtle accent to daily coffee times.
