Celebrate the season with a vibrant collection that captures the spirit of African artistry and the joy of shared moments
This festive season, Nespresso invites you to uncover Magic in the Making, a celebration of the beautiful rituals, flavours, and craftsmanship that make every joyful gathering so special.
This year’s collection brings together an enchanting selection of limited-edition coffees, a new African-inspired blend, and thoughtfully designed festive accessories, all wrapped in vivid creations by Kenyan artist Thandiwe Muriu. Inspired by the African coffee flower, her work bursts with colour, energy, and warmth, perfectly capturing the essence of a South African summer in full swing.
Whether you are brewing your morning cup before a sun-soaked day, relaxing poolside after a festive feast, or sharing laughter over dessert, these indulgent new coffees are made to add a touch of magic to every moment.
Gabriel Nobre, CEO of Nespresso South Africa, shares his excitement for the new collection, “Coffee forms a part of so many joyous occasions during this time of year, and this collection celebrates that beautifully. Each blend was crafted to bring people together, to turn everyday rituals into something truly special, and to honour the craftsmanship and creativity that make the festive season so meaningful.”
A Taste of Celebration: Irresistible Coffees for a Limited Time
Inspired by the spirit of the festive season, Nespresso unveils a trio of limited-edition coffees, crafted to surprise, delight, and awaken the senses.
At the heart of the collection is the Festive Espresso for Original and Festive Double Espresso for Vertuo, a captivating Arabica blend of African coffees from Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Kenya. Expect a symphony of cereal and fruity notes, enriched with delicate caramel and woody undertones, an ode to the depth and diversity of African coffee. Enjoy it pure or transform it into a luxurious Latte Macchiato.
The journey continues with two flavoured creations:
- Sweet Almond & Hibiscus – a delicate balance of nutty sweetness and floral charm that evokes summer in full bloom.
- Cinnamon & Candied Tamarind – a vibrant pairing of warm spice and jammy sweetness that embodies the joyful energy of the festive season.
Gifts to Treasure, Moments to Share
No festive season is complete without a touch of discovery, and Nespresso’s Advent Calendars are back to spark wonder and anticipation, one coffee at a time. Available for both Original and Vertuo systems, each calendar is adorned with Thandiwe Muriu’s striking designs, with a special surprise behind the final door for true coffee lovers.
Nespresso also unveils its Barista Mixologist Stemmed Glasses, elegant companions for stylish summer entertaining and creative coffee cocktails. Pair them with the beautifully embossed Coffee Mug, featuring Muriu’s coffee flower motif, for a gift that is as thoughtful as it is timeless.
To add even more indulgence, Nespresso introduces a limited-edition box of chocolates with cocoa nibs, the perfect sweet treat to accompany a festive espresso or to enjoy as a luxurious after-dinner delight.
