As the seasons shift and the air fills with anticipation, Nespresso invites you to savour the comforting embrace of its beloved Pumpkin Spice Cake coffees—now available in both Original and Vertuo systems. These limited-edition blends capture the spirit of the season, blending sweet pumpkin with a medley of warming spices for a comforting coffee moment—perfect whether you’re enjoying a cool morning or relaxing on a sunny afternoon.
The Story Behind the Blend
Nespresso’s journey into flavoured coffees began nearly two decades ago, with a pioneering spirit that continues to inspire new taste experiences.
The Pumpkin Spice Cake flavour, first launched for Vertuo in 2016 and later extended to the Original system, quickly became a seasonal favourite.
Its enduring popularity is a testament to the irresistible combination of sweet pumpkin and aromatic spices — cloves, cinnamon, and cardamom — that evoke the spirit of the holidays and the comfort of home.
Origins & Craftsmanship
Both the Original and Vertuo Pumpkin Spice Cake coffees are crafted from a smooth, 100% Arabica blend:
- Brazilian beans are lightly roasted to preserve their natural sweetness and malted cereal notes.
- Colombian beans (and select African Arabicas in Vertuo) are washed and roasted to release lively aromatics and a velvety texture.
The result is a harmonious base that balances sweet pumpkin flavour with warm spice notes, creating a cake-like sweetness that’s both indulgent and refined.
Sensory Experience
- Aroma: Sweet pumpkin, cinnamon, clove, and cardamom.
- Taste: Cake-like sweetness, gentle spice, and a smooth, comforting finish.
- With Milk: The blend transforms, revealing gingerbread, caramel, and biscuit notes—perfect for cappuccino or latte recipes.
Whether you’re enjoying a quiet morning or gathering with friends, Pumpkin Spice Cake encapsulates the spirit of the season, balancing sweet and spicy notes with mastery.
