Nespresso and Blue Bottle Coffee have partnered to create a limited-edition coffee capsule that brings Blue Bottle's signature New Orleans-style iced coffee to home brewers using Nespresso's Vertuo system.
The NOLA Style Blend captures the distinctive character of the original café beverage — a creamy, chicory-infused iced coffee, which is traditionally served with milk and sweetener. The collaboration makes this distinct coffee experience available in a convenient form.
Marketed as a seasonal launch, the NOLA Style Blend will certainly appeal to discerning coffee enthusiasts with its combination of specialty New Orleans-style coffee expertise and brewing technology. The collaboration extends beyond the coffee itself, including co-branded accessories like a transparent tumbler and special edition Vertuo Pop+ machine featuring Blue Bottle's signature blue accents.
