Nestle has released two new Nespresso varieties for food service following success with flavoured coffees in the in-home market. 

Restaurant and hotel patrons will now be able to choose from Espresso Caramel and Espresso Vanilla flavours within the Nespresso Professional range.

The new additions will form part of a permanent line of flavoured coffee, extending the Professional range to 13 varieties.

The launch comes off the back of a study by Harris International that found 61 per cent of Australian respondents wanted to be offered new coffee flavours such as vanilla and caramel.

Espresso Caramel and Espresso Vanilla are now available to all professional Nespresso customers in Australia.
