When you stay somewhere with a Nespresso Professional system, every cup of coffee is going to be consistently delicious, whether it’s an early-morning latte sipped while still swaddled in crisp white bed linen or the final espresso savoured after dinner. Machines range from the sleek, easy-to-use in-room models to the barista versions with all the bells and whistles, and there’s also an impressive variety of coffee pods to choose from. Brazil Organic is its most recent launch, with a deliciously smooth and sweet flavour profile; the Exclusive Selection is, as its name suggests, designed to please even the most discerning guests in top hotels and restaurants. Purists will also enjoy the Origins range, which includes blends from India, Peru and Guatemala. And at Pan Pacific London, executive pastry chef Francesco Manninno even uses a freshly brewed Nespresso Professional for one of the hotel’s most popular desserts, the Cube Croissant – the coffee lends a rich depth to the distinctive cream filling.
Sustainability is also at the forefront of many travellers’ minds: we want to experience a destination in a way that’s good for both people and planet. Perhaps you’re more inclined to book a safari that prioritises the wellbeing of its animals, for instance, or choose to dine in an independent zero-waste restaurant rather than a chain. It’s a concern that Nespresso Professional, which is a certified B Corp company, also takes seriously. Nespresso Professional pods are made of aluminium, which is infinitely recyclable, and the company makes it incredibly simple to do so – all hotel partners have to do is pop the used pod into a Nespresso recycling bag and arrange for a collection. Additionally, the machines are perfectly calibrated for what the brand refers to as “precise consumption”, using exactly the right amount of water, energy and coffee to reduce wastage across the board.
