Pierre Hermé / Thomas Laisne
Nestlé’s Nespresso is a coffee pioneer operating since 1986 across 81 countries with 802 boutique galleries operating worldwide. This year, Nespresso joins forces with world-renowned pastry chef and chocolatier Pierre Hermé in creating a capsule collection of exclusive coffees representing the best of the best across gustatory pleasures.
Pierre Hermé’s creativity and sophistication in gastronomy is unparalleled, with decades of experience and avant-garde design and skilled technique. With namesake boutiques all over the world, his unmistakably modern imagination pairs with technique to craft the ultimate coffee for the most discerning of palates.
The limited-edition collaboration builds upon Pierre Hermé’s extensive background as an expert of flavour, putting forth a collection that deepens the indulgence of the palate by relishing in the shared joy that we experience with friends and family. The Nespresso | Pierre Hermé coffees bring the art of the haute pâtisserie into every gathering, where friends and family come together to discover and delight in unexpected surprises.
The collaboration consists of delightful coffees and gifting with Nespresso rounding out the festive season’s offerings by adding accessories to bring Nespresso quality into all areas of one’s day.
The offerings begin with the Infiniment Espresso, a black single origin coffee from Colombia sourced from the new supplying region of Tolima, where farmers mostly use natural methods and prioritise low-impact agriculture. The Arabica beans bloom with vibrant red fruit and smooth cereal notes, expressing an impressive depth of flavour and an elegant mouthfeel, representing an ode to the art of those who play with taste.
The espresso offerings also include two flavoured coffees: the Infiniment Gourmand Saveur Noisette and Infiniment Fruité Saveur Framboise. Crafted from delicately sweet South American Arabica beans, the Infiniment Gourmand Saveur Noisette begins with the unmistakable aroma of roasted hazelnuts flavour followed by sweet top notes of almond biscotti and delicate vanilla. The refreshingly smooth Infiniment Fruité Saveur Framboise articulates a smooth cereal aroma pairing beautifully with the alluring flavour of raspberries. Both of these inspire a premium pastry experience by declaring the same complex flavours one associates with Pierre Hermé’s elevated pastries.
Rounding out the festive collection is this season’s Advent Calendars, containing 24 coffees and a surprise gift for the last day. The giftable advent calendars contain the three co-created Nespresso | Pierre Hermé coffees as well as favourites from the Nespresso permanent range, offering a different coffee behind each door for a delightful surprise on the path to the festive season, all presented in an exquisite box designed to be reused afterwards.
Crowning the collection is the Nomad Travel Mug in a Raspberry colour, giving the ability to take the flavours from the artistry of haute pastry anywhere, anytime. With just a simple touch of a button on our coffee machines – be it the Nespresso Atelier or the Nespresso Essenza Mini – coffee drinkers can enjoy a perfect, heart-warming moment with Nespresso coffees this year-end holiday.
The enchantment of indulgence, the gift of joy: the Nespresso Infiniment Espresso, Infiniment Gourmand Saveur Noisette and Infiniment Fruité Saveur Framboise are priced at RM29.50 per sleeve, available for a limited amount of time and in limited quantities, while supplies last. Coffee lovers can also bring home the limited-edition Nespresso Advent Calendar and Raspberry Nomad Travel Mug at RM200 and RM109, respectively.
As for the coffee machines, the Nespresso Atelier is available at RM1,799 while the Nespresso Essenza Mini is for sale at RM649.
