LOOK: These Coffee Recipes Will Make Me-Time Better

Coffee was always known to be part of everyone’s morning routine, especially on weekdays when we all need an extra boost of energy for work. But these past couple of years, coffee also became part of our relaxation on weekends. I personally love enjoying a great cup of coffee while reading a good book or just taking a short pause to enjoy some quiet moments—especially with the new Barista Creations Flavoured range from Nespresso.

Just creating your own coffee recipe at your home cafe can be such a peaceful experience when you have the right tools and ingredients at your fingertips.

Nespresso is known to offer innovative yet simple-to-use machines that consistently deliver the perfect cup of coffee and a wide range of exceptional coffee selections that come from all over the world.

To top it all off, Nespresso just reintroduced its specialty Barista Creations Flavoured coffee range with an update of its best-selling flavors.

The Cioccolatino (formerly Cocoa Truffle) combines the dark richness of cocoa with the malted cereal note of the base espresso—perfect for anyone who loves rich yet timeless flavors. The Caramello (formerly Caramel Crème Brûlée) carries a warming flavor of caramel with sweet biscuit and nutty notes. The Vaniglia (formerly Vanilla Éclair) is for the ones who love creaminess in their coffee. It features a classic vanilla flavor combined with sweet biscuits and cereal notes.

A new addition to Nespresso’s Barista Creations Flavoured coffee range is the Nocciola which features a satisfying hazelnut flavor with notes of praline, biscuit, and cereals.

Nespresso’s updated Barista Creations Flavoured range just made it easier for anyone to experiment with the perfect cup of coffee just for you! To get you started with a great coffee experience, here are two coffee recipes that will surely make “me-time” better:
