Swedish alternative milk company Oatly has partnered with Nespresso to create a limited-edition oat coffee blend.
Nespresso’s Oatly Barista Edition Coffee, described as having rich and biscuity notes, is made exclusively for Nespresso Vertuo coffee machines.
The blend is available in more than 15 countries – including the United States, United Kingdom, China and Australia. The blend will be available to buy through Nespresso’s official channels, online, and in Nespresso boutiques around the world for a limited period.
In a statement, the companies said they wanted to craft a coffee blend for the one in two American and European consumers now estimated to use plant-based milks.
“At Nespresso we’re all about taste and we’re on a mission to make sure that every coffee lover out there can create their own perfect cup, just the way they like it,” says Karsten Ranitzsch, Global Head of Coffee at Nespresso.
“We know more and more people are reaching for plant-based drinks when preparing their favourite coffee recipe, which is why we are thrilled about our partnership with Oatly.”
Toby Weedon, Barista Development Director at Oatly, adds that Oatly Barista Edition brings out the best flavour in coffee thanks to its neutral taste.
“It’s why it is used by professional baristas and embraced by coffee enthusiasts all over the world,” he says.
“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. We hope this global collaboration with Nespresso will spark curiosity in more people to find out for themselves why so many choose it in their coffee.”
