As it does every year, Nespressois celebrating the festive season with the launch of its latest limited edition coffee variations, Parisian Gourmandise. Inspired by traditional Parisian sweets and designed in partnership with renowned interior designer  India Mahdavi, the range features a range of coffees that add a touch of European glamour to the holiday season. 

Treating each creation as though it is a couture piece, Mahdavi’s influence on the NespressoVariations is evident in the range’s pastel hues and playful designs. With two unique flavoured coffees and onenon-flavoured coffees, Mahdavi has created a collection fit for the most discerning of coffee aficionados. 

Mahdavi on the collaboration: “I sought to bring an oneiric dimension to Nespresso’s world in which these new capsules appear as imaginary delights, floating like sweet clouds in the sky. These voluptuous forms, reminiscent of childhood, suggest a fantasised “gourmandise”. Nespressospeaks to the senses - celebrating taste under all its aspects, ranging from sight to touch via smell, with subtly sweet aromas. I wanted to add a hint of reverie. Offering delight capsules for the eyes to relish and to then fly away in each and everyone’s imagination.”

This year’s Limited Edition Variations bring the quintessentially French flavours to coffee lovers around the world, transporting them to a Parisian Patisserie through unique flavour creations. Each year festive variations centre on flavours of the season and for the first time, remaining true to French tradition, there is a Paris Black espresso coffee that caters to those preferring coffee in its pure taste. There are two flavoured coffee Variations and one iconic black to try, each with an India Mahdavi designed aluminium capsule. 

Each of the Variations have been based on the NespressoLivantocoffee blend which consists of Pure Arabica from Southern and Central America. Itis well balanced with a roasted caramelised note providing roundness and balance in the finished coffees:
