Discover A Tasteful Journey With Every Cup
A journey across the sensory map, Nespresso’s World Explorations range features six exquisite Lungo coffees, two of which are newly debuting mild cups that pay homage to Shanghai and Buenos Aires, adding extra depth to the Lungo intensity scale to complete the full range. With a full assortment of compelling flavour profiles, aromatic notes range from sweet cereal over floral and fruity to potent and roasted – all reflecting the preferences of local coffee drinkers across the six cities.
World Explorations Buenos Aires Lungo (New)
In a nod to Argentina’s vibrant food scene where sweetness prevails, Nespresso’s World Explorations Buenos Aires Lungo blends a gently roasted Colombian Arabica with Ugandan Robusta, to deliver distinct cereal and sweet popcorn notes that pay tribute to the city’s love for smooth long cups characterised by a sweet, milky flavour.
