Tasting tip to enjoy coffee of the month

Enjoy a coffee processed with wet processing which minimizes the influence of the fruit, allowing you to savor the natural woody notes of the beans. You can enjoy it deeply and richly as a black coffee or add ginger ale for a refreshing twist.

COFFEE STORY

by 박수진 Nespresso coffee bard

Q1. The main theme of the May Coffee Letter is picnic. Is there a moment that comes to your mind when you think of picnic?
I take a walk with my dog at a nearby park every weekend. When we’re both feeling a bit thirsty after a walk, a cup of coffee hits just right. Among Nespresso’s coffees, the ones I’d like to talk about are Indonesia and Mexico - they pair especially well with picnic. They remind me of lush forests or sunny beaches under a blazing sun. How about going for a picnic nearby with a refreshing iced americano made with Indonesia and Mexico before the hot summer begins?

Q2. What makes this coffee special to you?
While I enjoy all types of coffee now but there was a time when I only drank bold and intense ones. Indonesia was my go-to back then. It’s a coffee with a rich body and smooth texture from wet hulling, combined with the aroma of well-dried tobacco leaves - it really makes a bold impression. It’s quite different from the Aged Sumatra (which I still hope to be relaunched someday ??) but just as captivating. Once you discover the unique character behind Indonesia’s intensity, you might find yourself reaching for it again and again like I did.

Q3. Who would you recommend this coffee to?
I recommend these coffees to those who love nature - forest and park lovers especially! A sip of Indonesia evokes the feeling of dense greenery. Even in your usual surroundings, it can feel like you’re enjoying coffee in the origin itself. Try packing some sandwiches or kimbap and enjoy a picnic with Indonesia.

Q4. Do you have a special twist when enjoying this coffee?
Try Mexico as an iced cube latte! Extract two capsules of Mexico in ice & latte mode then stir in four sticks of brown sugar until fully dissolved. Pour the mixture into an ice tray and freeze. Later, just add 8 cubes to a large travel mug, pour in 200ml of milk and that’s it! Even as the ice melts, you can enjoy a consistently delicious latte.

Book and coffee pairing
with 최인아책방

Hello. I’m Choi Ina, the representative of Choi In A bookstore, where I select and introduce 'Coffee and Books of the Month' to Nespresso Club members every month. I hope you can enjoy fulfilling moments with the great coffee and books we recommend.

This month’s coffee features the Original Indonesia coffee and it truly captures the refreshing image of a deep forest. With its smooth texture, rich body and layered notes of deep woody aroma and dried tobacco leaves, it feels like being invited into a lush tropical rainforest.

Doesn’t it pair perfectly with this vibrant, green season of May? If you’re wondering what book to read while enjoying this coffee I confidently recommend 『Into the Forest on the Weekend』 by Miri Masuda.
The story follows three women in their mid-thirties: Hayakawa, a freelance translator; Mayumi who works in accounting at a publishing house; Sesuko who works for a travel agency. All three are single and close friends. One day Hayakawa suddenly decides to leave Tokyo and move to the countryside closer to the forest. As spring, summer, autumn and winter pass, the friends each encounter and experience the unique sights and feelings that the forest offers with every changing season.
