Nespresso is bringing its summer ice recipe coffee collection back starting May 14, 2026, with a limited-edition lineup designed for enjoying over ice. This year's theme, "Summer of '86," pays tribute to the brand's founding year of 1986 as Nespresso marks its 40th anniversary.
The highlight of the 2026 collection is Yuzu Vanilla Over Ice — a new flavor using Japanese yuzu, a citrus fruit closely associated with Japan, one of the three countries where Nespresso launched at its founding. It marks the first time the brand has incorporated yuzu into its coffee range. The lineup includes five varieties for the Vertuo system and four for the Original system, along with limited-edition accessories in the season's signature color palette.
Each ice recipe coffee in the collection is specially blended and roasted to bring out richer aromas when poured over ice, creating a refreshing and cooling taste experience at home or on the go.

VERTUO UP YOUR SUMMER — Explore Your Summer with Vertuo
The latest Vertuo coffee maker, Vertuo Up (also launching May 14, 2026), features a dedicated button for "Coffee Creations Mode," which delivers a bolder, more concentrated extraction. Choose from approximately 40 Vertuo coffee varieties and extract directly over ice with a single touch. It also works with milk, soy milk, almond milk, or oat milk for easy iced lattes.
The machine uses Nespresso's proprietary Centrifusion™ technology, automatically reading the barcode on each capsule to optimize brew settings including cup size, rotation speed, water volume, temperature, and contact time — drawing out the unique aromas and flavors of each coffee, topped with Vertuo's characteristic thick, velvety crema. The machine heats up in as little as 3 seconds and features a smooth lever for easy operation.
