This new Nespresso pod release is inspired by a longtime guest favorite, Blue Bottle’s New Orleans-Style Iced Coffee, also known as the NOLA blend. Crafted by blending coffee with roasted chicory and served with milk and sweetened to taste, NOLA is a creamy and distinctive beverage that has earned a devoted following across Blue Bottle’s global cafes.

To complement the collaboration between these two brands, Nespresso has also launched two limited-edition co-branded items: a fluted Tumbler and a Vertuo Pop+ machine in a brilliant white finish. Both are brought to life with Blue Bottle Coffee’s signature blue hue, adding a vibrant pop of colour to summertime rituals.

Those interested in bringing the taste of NOLA coffee to their home via the Nespresso Vertuo pods can purchase the pods either directly from Nespresso, Blue Bottle Coffee, or in Nespresso boutiques nationwide.

Pistachio coffee is the hot flavor, and shows no signs of slowing down
The rise of the pistachio coffee trend
pistachio nuts

Pistachios have been having a moment over the last couple of years. The momentum shows no signs of slowing down, according to Heba Mahmoud, Head of Innovation at Elmhurst 1925. Business Research Insights 2025 data suggests that the pistachio surge goes hand-in-hand with the rise of health, wellness, plant-based, and functionality-focused consumer trends. Pistachio coffee's savory flavor offers just the right blend of nuttiness and creaminess, adding an unexpected twist to a traditional cup of coffee. Here's what Mahmoud shared about this hot coffee flavor and where the market may be headed.
When did pistachio coffee first start trending?

"Pistachio coffee is quickly becoming one of the hottest trends in the market, and it’s easy to see why. It brings together two beloved favorites – the nutty flavor of pistachios and the bold kick of coffee or espresso – into an aromatic, irresistibly smooth cup. Beyond the flavor, health-conscious consumers are also fueling the market for pistachio-infused everything, from chocolate to lattes," she says.
"Pistachios’ naturally rich flavor profile made them a standout ingredient, and when paired with coffee – a longtime consumer favorite – the result was an instant hit. The subtle sweetness and earthy complexity of pistachios offer a sophisticated twist on the typical flavored latte, aligning perfectly with the shift toward clean-label, plant-based options," says Mahmoud. As head of innovation at Elmhurst 1925, Mahmoud helped lead the brand to become the top-selling pistachio milk and creamer on the market over the last year. Today, the brand offers various pistachio-inspired coffee pairings, such as the Pistachio Barista Edition and Pistachio Crème Latte.
