Two coffee icons come together

There are collaborations that go beyond a simple partnership: they become a celebration of shared values, heritage, and excellence.

This is exactly what happens when Nespresso, the global pioneer in premium espresso experiences, joins forces with Caffè Florian, the oldest Coffeehouse in Italy and Europe, a timeless symbol of Venetian culture and elegance.
United by a common passion for quality and tradition, the two brands have created a limited edition coffee blend that pays tribute to over three centuries of history, taste, and craftsmanship.

This collaboration was born from a mutual desire to bring the unmistakable flavor of authentic Italian coffee to life for all coffee lovers around the world.

The result? An espresso that’s not just rich in aroma, but rich in story — a refined experience dedicated to those who see coffee not just as a beverage, but as a ritual of beauty and meaning.

Discover the new Limited Edition blend

The Nespresso | Caffè Florian limited edition blend is the result of a meticulous selection of premium 100% Arabica beans, mostrly from Brazil and Honduras.

A bold, full-bodied blend with a rich roasted flavour complemented by woody and nutty undertones, along with a hint of warm spices. This well-rounded coffee delivers a pronounced bitterness balanced by a subtle acidity, inspired by the traditional Italian coffee tasting experience.

The result is a bold coffee with refined acidity and a smooth, hazelnut-colored cream that lingers beautifully on the palate. Ideal as a ristretto or espresso, it offers a truly sophisticated tasting experience.

Available for a limited time only, this blend is compatible with Nespresso Original machines, giving coffee lovers the chance to enjoy an authentic taste of Venice — right at home.

A journey through history in the halls of Florian

Savoring this limited-edition blend means stepping into the timeless atmosphere of Caffè Florian.

Located in the heart of Venice, in St. Mark’s Square, this legendary Coffeehouse has, for centuries, welcomed artists, intellectuals, noblemen and travelers from all over the world.

Each capsule is a tribute to Florian’s rich artistic and cultural heritage — every sip evokes the charm of its historic halls, with their ornate paintings, fine marble, plush velvets, and antique furnishings that whisper over 300 years of Venetian history.

It’s a true sensory journey that blends past and present, tradition and innovation, all captured in a single, everyday gesture: enjoying an exceptional espresso.

A packaging inspired by The Triumphant Venice

Visual appeal matters and when it comes to this limited edition blend, design is part of the experience. The creative direction behind the packaging draws directly from the rich visual heritage of Caffè Florian.

The box features geometric motifs reminiscent of the Florian’s iconic signage, while the deep Venetian red used for both the capsules and its packaging echoes the colors of the flags and banners bearing the Lion of Saint Mark, the enduring symbol of Venice. This same shade was chosen by architect Lodovico Cadorin for the velvet sofas and chairs of Caffè Florian, when its interiors were totally redecorated in the middle of the 19th-century.

The carefully selected design and color palette ensure that the visual elegance can accompany the premium quality of the content, thus offering a complete experience.

Limited Edition accessories for a complete tasting

To make the tasting experience unique, Nespresso also proposes a selection of exclusive accessories. The set of limited edition Lume Espresso cups, in refined matte white porcelain paired with the bold red saucers and the set of Affogato Bowls in tempered glass, to make every break an exclusive ritual.

Created to enhance every sip of the Nespresso | Caffè Florian blend, these accessories strike the perfect balance between functionality and elegance — bringing together everyday simplicity and refined design.
