Nespresso has added two new additions to its Ispirazione Italiana range of coffees, including the first permanent coffee to offer a 13 blend intensity.

The new Ispirazione Napoli has a high intensity of 13 and has been developed using dark roasting methods, as well as taking the expertise of coffee rituals from Napoli.

In addition, the new Ispirazione Venezia also joins the range, which has an intensity of 8 and caramel tones in its flavour.

Ispirazione Napoli and Ispirazione Venezia join a selection of existing coffees to create Nespresso’s Ispirazione Italiana. Each coffee in the range aims to take “coffee lovers on a roasting journey through Italy and discover for themselves the varying intense coffee aromas”.

As part of the range expansion, Nespresso has also updated its packaging and names of the exisiting coffees to capture "the regional Italian roasting expertise that inspire their creation".

The new range is now available through Nespresso boutiques, online or as part of the Nespressocoffee subscription.

Australia's environment ministers have declared packaging reform urgent and named soft plastics as an initial priority, but offered no firm timetable or regulatory commitments. SPSA has welcomed the soft plastics focus, while Boomerang Alliance and WMRR have raised concerns about the lack of concrete action.
