Dubai (UAE) 1 February, 2015 - Coffee benefits from being enjoyed from a perfectly designed vessel, which is why Nepresso coffee experts and master glass makers Riedel have come together to craft the most advanced tasting vessel possible in order to maximize the Nespresso Grand Cru experience. Nespresso experts intimately understand the intricate relationships between terroir and variety in selecting exceptional green coffee beans for Nespresso Grands Crus. It is Riedel experts who understand the complex role that vessel size and shape play in conveying the message of a fine beverage. Together, Nespresso and Riedel experts created two tasting glasses to carry the very essence of fine coffee terroir. The Reveal Collection perfects the coffee experience by conveying the aroma of the finest Grand Crus to the Nespresso Club member and coffee lover. The transparency of the tasting glass displays the coffee, with the shape of the glass directing aromas to your nose whilst enhancing the experience through the elegant, quality crystal used. Nespresso has a long history in the design of cups to enhance the coffee experience. It was Nespresso research scientists who proved that the characteristic crema, which tops a good coffee, serves not to hold in aromas but to carry them above the cup for the olfactory pleasure of the drinker. Therefore vessel shape was a vital tool in perfecting the coffee experience. All Nespresso coffee cups are deliberately designed to enhance the aromatic pleasure of the Grand Cru they hold. With this new vessel, Nespresso has taken the enhancement one step further by working with 16 sommeliers for testing of the glassware in the Reveal Collection. The Intense glass increased the overall intensity of aroma and taste and the Mild glass developed the freshness, acidity and lightness of the coffee as well as the delicacy of the aromas. The tasting glasses in the Reveal Collection are masterpieces of proportion. Their size, height and width have been harmonized in order to release the coffee’s aromas and elevate the tasting experience to a new level. The Reveal Collection will be available in a set of two Intense or Mild glasses.
