Winter feels cozier when you invite friends and family at home to share quality time together. Nespresso is taking you and your guests into the mythical origin of coffee in Africa with two new Limited Edition coffees. Discover Arabica Ethiopia Harrar and Robusta Uganda and serve them in style on beautiful stainless steel trays inspired by traditional African coffee sharing rituals.

The Ethiopians were the first to have recognized the energizing effect of the native arabica coffee bean. In comparison with arabica coffee, robusta coffee has almost double the amount of caffeine and more antioxydants. If you prefer avoid caffeine, the Nespresso Decaffeinato’s collection gives you the same coffee taste, aroma and experience.

Nespresso machines offer convenience and a friendly user experience to make quick and easy coffee at home. We recently received Pixie which is the smart model in the Original Nespresso’s collection machine. Into a surprisingly small design, Pixie has several innovative and advanced features in addition to be an eco-friendly machine.

In 25 seconds, Pixie reaches its heating temperature and provides you with a tasty coffee. Thanks to a smart alert system, Pixie notifies you when the tank is almost empty with an indicator light so you can adjust the water level.

If you like your coffee with milk froth, the Aeroccino 3 is an indispensable tool to have on your kitchen counter. The Aeroccino 3 is a simple and fast automatic system for preparation of a light and creamy hot or cold milk froth. You can pour the froth in at the speed you want, to control how it is mixed with your favourite Nespresso coffee.

Arabica Ethiopia Harrar is packed with notes of ripe fruit, fresh flowers and malty cereal. We recommend to drink it slowly to take the time to appreciate each flavor of this delicious blend. Also, you can try it with milk froth to bring out floral and dry vegetal notes. According to the Nespresso intensity scale, Arabica Ethiopia Harrar is ranked 5, which refers to a well balanced intensity of bitterness, acidity, and roasting. The appropriate cup size is Espresso (40 ml) but you can also try Arabica Ehtiopia Harrar as a Lungo (110 ml).

Robusta Uganda is a more powerful espresso but surprisingly fine and sweet for a Robusta. When you try Robusta Uganda for the first time, you instantly feel the intense and sweet cocoa notes. Do not hesitate to add froth milk to balance the taste and add a creamy texture. Robusta Uganda is ranked 10 due to its high intensity of bitterness, body, and roasting. Consequently, the recommend cup sizes are Ristretto (25 ml) and Espresso (40 ml).
