Oatly and Nespresso have joined forces on a new range of limited-edition oat milk coffee capsules that will provide owners of a Nespresso coffee maker with an easy way to incorporate Oatly alt milk into their favorite drinks. The capsules are crafted exclusively with Nespresso Vertuo coffee machines in mind and incorporate Oatly's Barista Edition oat drink into their coffee. The partnership comes as part of a logical next step for both brands given the increasing popularity of alt milks amongst consumers seeking them out for nutrition or environmental purposes.

It’s why it is used by professional baristas and embraced by coffee enthusiasts all over the world. We’re delighted to have worked with the experts at Nespresso to finally bring to market a coffee capsule that was tried and tested, especially for the millions of oat drink lovers out there."
