Nespresso pays tribute to the beautiful cities of Milano and Palermo with two delightful Limited Editions!


Very little things are more important than coffee for Italians..perhaps football would be the only real opponent.. 
 That is why you MUST learn this phrase : "Prendiamo un caffé?".. Fancy a coffee? As this is an essential part of daily life in Italy.
Coffee culture is an important aspect of life in Italy and every region has its own set of traditions and different ways of enjoying coffee. 
In 2013 Nespresso celebrated this diversity through the cities of Naples and Trieste, both unique and contrasting coffee.
This year Nespresso is launching Tribute to Milano and Tribute to Palermo, two Limited Edition ristrettos which pay tribute to the diversity and richness of Italian coffee culture, inspired by two contrasting cities Milano and Palermo.









A bar in the heart of Palermo is an important meeeting point for local social life – a place to eat, drink, meet new people and talk football of course!
In Summer, Sicilians will bask on a sun drenched terrace to unwind with a caffè freddo or a strong caffè savoured with traditional, rich Sicilian pastries. Nespresso’s Tribute to Palermo is inspired by the relaxed and social coffee culture in Palermo and pays homage to the Sicilian’s love of a strong coffee. It is a powerful, intense and full bodied ristretto with a silky texture reminiscent of a leisurely afternoon in the sun. Nespresso’s coffee experts were also inspired by the vibrancy of the Sicilian outdoor markets, alive with colourful spices, fresh produce and flowers so the cacao aromas and spicy peppery notes evoke an experience in amongst the locals at the market. 








Milan has played a significant role in shaping Italy’s coffee history and first introduced the espresso at the World Fair in 1906. Today the espresso is so iconic and is such an important part of daily life that the word is no longer used – it is simply un caffè. Tribute to Milano is Nespresso’s interpretation of the hustle and bustle of the vibrant and fashionable city of Milan, where coffee is enjoyed at a fast pace whilst standing at the bar. 
Inspired by the perfect balance of elegance and intensity at the architecturally impressive Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Tribute to Milano is also a perfect mix of elegance and intensity. A highly aromatic ristretto, Tribute to Milano transports you to a traditional gelateria in the heart of Milan with its fine fruity aromas and sweet cereal notes








Tribute to Milano is elegant and highly aromatic much like the incredible city architecture whilst Tribute to Palermo pays homage to the traditional outdoor markets with spicy peppery notes. Whichever you choose, both ristrettos will allow you to become immersed deep in the atmosphere of these enchanting Italian cities. 



“Following the launch of our Trieste and Napoli Limited Edition coffees, we wanted to continue our tribute to Italy by paying homage to the unique coffee cultures of Milan and Palermo. Tribute to Milano is our interpretation of the hustle and bustle of the elegant and vibrant city of Milan, where coffee is enjoyed at a fast pace whilst standing at the bar. In contrast, Tribute to Palermo is a powerful, intense and full bodied ristretto. We were inspired by the scents of the Sicilian outdoor markets, alive with colourful spices, so the cacao aromas and spicy peppery notes evoke an experience in amongst the locals at the market.” 
commented Karsten Ranitzsch, Head of Coffee at Nespresso.


Both Tribute to Milano and Tribute to Palermo are made with the finest Arabica and Robusta and really give you an extraordinary coffee experience and will appeal to intense coffee lovers and can be enjoyed black but also with a little milk.
You can also enjoy the full intensity of Tribute to Milano in a Latte Macchiato offering you a creamier or savour Tribute to Palermo in a cappuccino without losing any of this blend’s full body and powerful character. But don't forget to never order a cappuccino in Italy after 11 a.m as this will really mark you as a tourist! 
So whether you choose to pay tribute to Milano, Palermo or both, the two  delightful  Limited Editions will immerse you in a true Italian atmosphere of these two beautiful cities.
