Nespresso and world-renowned pastry chef and chocolatier Pierre Hermé are thrilled to join
forces and announce a capsule collection to kick off the festive season. The exclusive coffees
and confections are a celebration of refined tastes and indulgence, representing the best of the
best across gustatory pleasures.
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. Herein lies an invitation to gather, to
discover and delight in unexpected surprises: from the visceral pleasures of tasting a new coffee
or pastry to the combined laughter between friends, fuller stories are written with the Nespresso
| Pierre Hermé coffees and confections that bring the art of the haute pâtisserie into the
everyday, enriching both in equal measure.
From the creator of the Haute Pâtisserie, Pierre Hermé’s pastries are at the apex of avant-garde
design, skilled technique and refined flavours. Decades of experience beginning with an
apprenticeship at age 14 for Gaston Lenôtre, widely considered the father of modern pastry, led
to Pierre Hermé being crowned the prestigious title of World’s Best Pastry Chef in 2016. With
namesake boutiques and cafés all over the globe, Pierre Hermé’s creativity and sophistication in
gastronomy is unparalleled. His unmistakably modern imagination pairs with technique to craft
the ultimate coffee for the most discerning of palates – epicures will delight in the complex
flavours while rejoicing in the ease of use, all in the comfort of one’s own home.
The collaboration consists of delightful coffees, confections, and gifting with Nespresso rounding
out the festive season’s offerings by adding limited-edition coffee machines and accessories to
bring Nespresso quality into all areas of one’s day.
Leading with a black single origin coffee from Colombia, the Infiniment Espresso, is sourced
from the new supplying region of Tolima, where farmers mostly use natural methods and
prioritize low-impact agriculture, benefiting the land and its inhabitants. The Arabica beans in the
Infiniment Double Espresso bloom with vibrant red fruit and smooth cereal notes, expressing an
impressive depth of flavor and an elegant mouthfeel.
The espresso offerings also include two flavoured coffees: the Infiniment Gourmand Saveur
Noisette, crafted from delicately sweet South American Arabica beans, 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.
The Café Noble Scented Candle was imagined in collaboration with master French perfumer
Olivia Giacobetti and Pierre Hermé for a longer lasting immersion into the festive spirit. The soft,
cozy scent is inspired by the Colombian tradition of adding panela, a golden-brown raw sugar
that is as sweet as honey to coffee for an indulgent confection. With all of the complexities and
nuances of coffee, the candle boasts notes of cinnamon, vanilla, spice and a robust Arabica
bean, and is housed in a reusable porcelain vessel.
Rounding out the festive collection are this season’s Advent Calendar, 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 favorites 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.
Outside of the co-created collection, Nespresso is also offering a limited-edition CitiZ machine in
Magic Blue which can be used to create the Nespresso | Pierre Hermé signature coffee recipes.
Crowning the collection is the Nomad Travel Mug in a Raspberry color, giving the ability to take
the flavours from the artistry of haute pastry anywhere, anytime.
Nespresso’s sophistication meets its match in Pierre Hermé, the architect of taste, with coffee
as the connector – a multisensory gourmand treat to delight everyone’s palate and weave
connections amongst generations.
