With Starbucks' New Nespresso Capsules, Every Day Can Be An Espresso Happy Hour
Starbucks and Nestlé have teamed up to create Starbucks by Nespresso, a line of coffee capsules you'll be able to make in your machine at home. Yes, my friends, that means every day can be an Espresso Happy Hour day should you so wish.
The Starbucks Newsroom explains the line of capsules will include four different flavors: Starbucks Espresso Roast, Starbucks Blonde Espresso Roast, Starbucks Single-Origin Colombia Coffee, and Starbucks Pike Place Roast. Food & Wine reports the pods are the result of a year-ish long collaboration between the coffee giants, a relatively fast period of time considering the enormity of the project.
All of the capsules will be available for purchase on Amazon.com, Walmart.com and Jet.com come early May (though, by all means, go ahead and order some Starbucks K-cups now to hold you over). They are also all made with "100 percent high-quality arabica coffee," though their notes range dramatically throughout the line.
The Starbucks Espresso Roast leads the line-it's the same sweet and straightforward Starbucks espresso flavor you've come to know and love whereas the Blonde Espresso variety is a bit sweeter and lends itself nicely to all sorts of milk combinations. The Single-Origin is a bolder and nuttier drink and the Pike Place Roast and smoother and has more chocolate flavors, Starbucks explains.
It's also important to note all of these capsules are aluminum-based and will be recyclable through the same program Nespresso encourages its customers to use. Also important is the price point: A 10-pack of the pods will go for $9.99, which is comparable to most other Nespresso lines.
