Hi Huneybees,
Yesterday, Nespresso opened their doors of their newly revamped boutique at Takashimaya Department Store (Household Department, Level B1) right at the heart of Orchard Road.
Expanding from 43
square meters to 71 square meters, the new Nespresso
boutique features a brand new carpe
diem, or coffee tasting bar in
Nespresso
speak, where customers can enjoy a cup of high quality coffee.
Customers will continue to be greeted with personalised service from
the Nespresso
coffee specialists, who will guide them through the range of coffee
machines and Grand Crus that Nespresso
offers.
In line with Nespresso’s commitment
towards the environment, the new boutique will also accept used
coffee capsules from customers for recycling. This will be an
additional recycling point to the current one at ION Orchard
boutique.
Let's take a tour around the boutique. Shall we?
In conjunction with the reopening of the Takashimaya boutique, Nespresso also launched specially created iced coffee recipes that suits Singapore's climate - Iced Caramel Cafe, Cafe Banana Split, Iced Cappuccino, Iced Coconut Coffee and Tiramisu Coffee to refresh and delight coffee lovers out there!
The secret behind each iced coffee recipe
is the delectable range of Nespresso
Grand Crus coffee, which makes the perfect base for these sumptuous
iced coffee creations. The recipes have been hand crafted by the
chief coffee specialists at Nespresso
and devised specifically to appeal to the preferences of the Asia
Pacific region. Knowing the region’s preference for white coffee,
most of the recipes incorporate chilled milk, which is especially
popular throughout Asia.
I got to taste 2 of the creations and the first one is Iced Coconut Coffee, where a scoop of coconut ice cream is added to a cup of Arpeggio Grand Crus, with brown sugar, milk, cinnamon powder and desiccated coconut to complete the chilled drink.
Next was the Tiramisu Coffee - a scoop of chocolate ice cream, a capsule Indriya from India Grand Crus, crushed biscuits, milk and grated chocolate, was all I need to perk me up in the hot weather.
Cappuccino à la rose is my favourite hot coffee recipe and Tiramisu Coffee is definitely my favourite
iced coffee Recipe!
The Nespresso
gourmet iced coffee recipes are
available for sampling at all Nespresso
boutiques during the month of August. The recipes will also be posted
on the official Nespresso
Ultimate Coffee Creations website
(www.nespresso.com/ultimate-coffee-creations)
so anyone can create their own iced coffee by following the simple
instructions.
Nespresso also has an Ultimate Coffee Creations website which has tons of coffee recipes. You can check it out here: http://www.nespresso.com/ultimate-coffee-creations/SG/en/coffee-recipes.
Nespresso is also running a National Day Special – From 1-11 August, receive a complimentary Aeroccino 3 with purchase of Citiz Single coffee machine (Fire Engine Red retailing at SGD$388) and any 9 sleeves of Grand Crus coffee.
