Since when, the meaning of travel has one more thing: "to find a good cup of coffee". The list of travel destinations is full of cafes that can't be missed. It seems that the fireworks in every city will be condensed in cafes. The café is like a small microcosm of an urban stage, staging a repertoire of local life.
The epidemic has lasted for three years, and we are all looking forward to the return of life to normal, and the days when we can travel as much as we want and drink freely will come as soon as possible. Recently, Nespresso's "World Explorations Tribute to the World Coffee Capital Collection" capsules have introduced three new flavors, condensing the taste memories of istanbul, Paris and Rio de Janeiro in small capsules that can be felt without having to walk.
There happens to be a Nespresso Original series PIXIE coffee machine in the home, which concocts a rich coffee aroma with simple operation, and the memory pictures related to these three cities are also unfolded.
Travel through time and space, and meet the beautiful
Istanbul, an ancient coffee legend
When I was in my twenties, I was studying in the Middle East, listening to the chanting of minarets, sitting in a small cafe on the street with locals smoking shisha pipes drinking small cups of coffee mixed with spices, and looking at the blue spires of the mosque. The traditional way of making it is still preserved today. The barista heats it with a piping hot sand tray, grinds the deep roasted coffee north into a fine powder, mixes it with cardamom, cloves, and jade cinnamon, and then slowly boils it before adding a lot of sugar.

Istanbul's coffee culture is mysterious and integrated, the world's oldest café was born in Damascus during the Ottoman Empire, it is said that in the Middle Ages, the ancient café had a shisha supply, people lie on the colorful woven sofa, the travelers of the East and the West meet and stay here, shisha and coffee pass between people, and the social attributes of coffee are thus produced. Women also use the shape of coffee grounds left at the bottom of the cup to perform divination, which is still popular.

Istanbul espresso in Nespresso's "World Explorations Tribute to world coffee capitals series" uses a bold double of Ethiopian Arabica native coffee beans and Indian Robusta beans, echoing the mix and matching in the city of Istanbul.
Ethiopia is known as the birthplace of coffee, while Indian coffee seeds are said to have been a gift secretly given to an Indian prince by a Yemeni woman, which is very romantic.
The blend of fruity flowers from The African region and the tropical marine season of India is a perfect fit with istanbul's theme.
Indian Robusta is rich in oil and very silky, while The Arabica coffee in Ethiopia enhances the acidity and delicate aroma of this cup of coffee, with a hint of almonds.
A small cup of 40ML of espresso, paired with a Turkish fudge wrapped in pistachios and rose petals, gives the trip a sweet and gentle finish.
Paris, a feast of flowing flavors

Parisians' love of coffee is permeated into the bones, the golden age of Paris, the café is the most speculative place, that belongs to the utopia of writers, translators, artists, musicians, Picasso, Hugo, Set, Beauvoir... Their ideas are still avant-garde, and the cafés in Paris are Hemingway's flowing feasts.

Today Parisians love coffee even more, sitting elegantly on the left bank of the Seine, smoking a cigarette, drinking a cup of concentrate, leisurely reading a book, or a cup of O'Ree, a fresh piece of praise.
Paris Espresso is a new capsule with coffee beans from Brazil, Colombia and Vietnam. Among them, the Robusta coffee beans from the Vietnamese region add a rich grain aroma to the espresso, reminiscent of the French colonial style, and the classic scene in Duras's novel "Lover".
The Arabica coffee beans from the American appellation seem to be connected to the new era of fashion, bringing a more citrus pleasure and mellow thickness to this cup of coffee, which is very much in line with the old-school exquisite taste of Paris.
In addition to tasting the aroma of espresso alone, you can also mix the coffee with the same amount of milk. The French word for O'Ree coffee is Cafélait, which means coffee with a lot of milk added. In France, this fancy coffee, which is added with a lot of milk, is silky and soft.
This cup is used to match a macaron, a song "Like the Sun" is put in the headphones, and it comes to the streets of Paris in a second.
Rio de Janeiro, paying tribute to the warmth of the distant coffee-producing region
Brazil is the most famous and largest coffee producing region in the world, and until now it is a must-have in many cafes around the world to blend coffee. A few years ago, when a friend was drinking coffee in Brazil, I used WeChat to broadcast live, and the Brazilian love for coffee penetrated into the depths of life, as strong and natural as the love of samba and football, as if it was innate.

Free and colorful graffiti spreads from the facades of street houses all the way to the café. In Brazil, you can drink the freshest coffee from the region, the coffee is cheap and everyday, and the espresso is accompanied by a cold beer.
And Brazilians are very much identified with the domestic coffee, the most common in the café is made of Brazilian beans from different production areas, in recent years, Brazilian COE coffee has more and more flavorful products, changing people's stereotype of Brazil, Nespresso's new product about De Janeiro espresso capsules in the selection of beans and roasting process are eye-catching.
Brazil's coffee regions are actually very diverse, so this Rio de Janeiro espresso capsule contains coffee beans from three different regions, cerado, Espírito Santo, and the famous naturally processed bourbon varieties from Minas Gerai, which are very rare and rare.
After extraction, the unique aromas of sandalwood and plants are exhilarating and refreshing, and the rich and mellow taste is addictive.
Drinking directly is a tribute to Rio, the capital of strong coffee.
You can also add hot water to make An American coffee to make the enjoyment last longer.
Cherish the present and meet the future
In addition to the three new products, the "World Exploration Tribute to the World Coffee Capital Series" capsules have a rich range of products, including Shanghai, Cape Town, Stockholm, Vienna, Tokyo and a total of 10 cities, which may be the first capsule coffee to take you around the world with coffee. Nespresso Coffee combines bean selection with the human story of each city to recreate the taste of coffee that conveys culture.
A small capsule of Nespresso not only encapsulates the amazing taste of coffee, but also contains a love of the world. On April 16, Strong Encounter Coffee launched the "Diverse and Beautiful Journey of Intense Encounter" Mini Program, inviting consumers to start a journey of world flavor together.
Although you still can't travel far, you can feel the diversity and beauty of this world through the inspiration of your taste buds.

Interpreting the world from a cup of coffee, Nespresso Coffee has always looked at coffee from a global perspective, so it pays great attention to environmental protection and the sustainable development of coffee.
I also carefully found that Nespresso Coffee Capsules has already created the NepsresspAAA Sustainable Quality Program with the Rainforest Alliance in 2003 to ensure that the estate cooperating with Nespresso Coffee meets the standards of the Rainforest Alliance, providing consumers with high-quality coffee while cherishing and protecting the environment. Adhere to responsible sourcing, guard the coffee farm and the environment.
Since 1991, Nespresso Coffee has established its own recycling system, in 2015 Nespresso Coffee launched an offline boutique recycling project in China, and in 2019, the Nespresso Capsule Recycling Program officially launched an online recycling project, consumers can make a free appointment for door-to-door recycling by scanning the QR code on the recycling bag or directly searching into the recycling mini program.
And these recycled capsule shells and coffee grounds will enter Nespresso's "second life project" of Strong Encounter Coffee, and they may become a Swiss Army knife of renewable materials, a funky ballpoint pen, chopsticks, and return to our daily lives, while coffee grounds are still very good organic fertilizers.
Nespresso really takes sustainability and environmental protection very seriously, and by the end of 2022, every cup of Nespresso Espresso Coffee will be carbon neutral.
Let's join Nespresso in a world of diversity.
