Nespresso and Change Please are running a promotional partnership in the UK this October as part of an initiative to help end homelessness one cup of coffee at a time.
The partnership comes in the form of the Nespresso x Change Please Coffee Van that will be parked in the Covent Garden Square in London from October 1 to 10, 2025 where it will serve barista-crafted coffees to guests. The van will be giving out free coffees on October 1 to help spread the word before transitioning to have 100% of its profits support the Change Please model of helping those experiencing homelessness. This includes offering barista training, employment, housing and mental health support.
The Nespresso and Change Please partnership will see the van serving a specially crafted coffee blend that's reported to have notes of sweet toasted cereals with a touch of nut.
