Nespresso Releases Coffees That Pair Best With Milk
I recently starting using my Nespresso Milk Frother and it is LIFE CHANGING, so when I heard that Nespresso was working on a coffee that works best with milk, I did a happy dance. Apparently three quarters of coffee drinkers globally enjoy a white coffee, so Nespresso spent six years studying the interaction between coffee and milk and developed the BARISTA CREATIONS milk coffee range.
This was the absolute best coffee and I just love the look of my Zwilling coffee mug, and the double glass is not only attractive, but also keeps my beverage warm for longer.
Above is the frother I use.
From the release:
“The journey to find perfectly balanced coffee with milk was inspired by professional baristas’ craftsmanship, and by questioning what were our consumers’ expectations and motivation to drink coffee with milk”, said Karsten Ranitzsch, Head of Coffee at Nespresso. “Our Coffee Experts started by consulting consumers and it has been no surprise to learn that onsumers do have different preferences and ways of consuming coffee with milk. Only after having gained a thorough understanding of it while taking the diversity of the responses into account did we start to develop our new blends, which are specifically designed to be consumed in white. Our team, comprised of coffee roasters, sensory experts, professional baristas, food scientists and engineers, embarked on this journey of exploring coffee and milk interactions to create the finest coffee blend to drink with milk.”
From 18 different coffee origins, around 20,000 cappuccinos were tested and over 120 coffee prototypes were produced. The experts pushed the boundaries of roasting and grinding in order to find the key attributes for a coffee blend to drink with milk. The result is the new permanent Nespresso coffee range, BARISTA CREATIONS, specifically designed for coffee recipes with milk.
