Nespresso has teamed up with Oatly – the oat drink brand – to create a coffee made for oat drink lovers. Nespresso’s Oatly Barista Edition Coffee is designed to pair with Oatly’s oat drink and made exclusively for Nespresso Vertuo coffee machines.

Coffee experts at Nespresso and Oatly co-created the Oatly Barista Edition coffee – blending, roasting and grinding coffee beans to harmonize with the sweetness of oats.

Consumers are turning to alternatives to cow’s milk for taste, ethical, environmental or dietary considerations. One in two American and European consumers now use plant-based milks, as well as two-thirds of all consumers in the Asia-Pacific and Latin American region.

Karsten Ranitzsc at Nespresso said: ” We know more and more people are reaching for plant-based drinks when preparing their favourite coffee recipe which is why we are thrilled about our partnership with Oatly.”

Toby Weedon at Oatly said: “We’re delighted to have worked with the experts at Nespresso to finally bring to market a coffee capsule that was tried and tested especially for the millions of oat drink lovers out there.”

Nespresso’s Oatly Barista Edition will be available in more than 15 countries – including UK, US, China and Australia. The blend will be available to buy through Nespresso’s official channels, online and in Nespresso boutiques.
