Nespresso U and Limited Edition Autumn Flavour Crealto

21 September 2012, Singapore – Nespresso has launched their latest coffee machine, aptly named U, continuing Nespresso’s quest to provide simple, personalised, innovative and design-driven solutions for you and your cuppa. U has a clever modular design, with a rounded adjustable water tank that slides seamlessly around the machine, allowing you to change its shape to fit your interior layout. Moreover, U comes in four understated colours – Pure Cream, Pure Black, Pure Grey and Pure Orange, allowing it to blend perfectly into your surroundings. U comes with three pre-programmed settings – Ristretto, Espresso and Lungo sizes. Its heat up time is just 25 seconds and has an automatic brewing which starts immediate after you drop in the capsule and close its slider. After dispensing your coffee, it automatically stops and ejects the used capsule. As an energy saving feature, U automatically switches off after nine minutes of inactivity. The best part of U is its price. With U’s sleek design and abundance of features, you will be pleasantly surprised that it is the cheapest Nespresso machine available, at just S$288 (inclusive of GST). Together with the introduction of U, comes a limited edition flavour for autumn – Crealto. A long-roast Grand Cru, Crealto was created with inspiration from Michelin-starred chef Mauro Colagreco’s application of long-roasting techniques at low temperatures. Blended entirely from Arabica beans, it has an intensity of eight (from a scale of 1 – 10), with roasted notes that are round and has a lingering finish. With milk, Crealto will release nutty aromas. A cappuccino will give you notes of wild nuts. Both the Nespresso U coffee machine (S$288) and the limited edition Crealto coffee capsules (S$11.50 for a sleeve of 10 capsules), are available now at all Nespresso boutiques.
