Barista style coffee
Let’s start at the beginning. What is barista style coffee? Barista is an Italian word and Italians know their coffee. So much so, the espresso machine was invented in Italy at the end of the 19th century. In Italy, a barista is a bartender, who works behind a counter serving hot drinks, like espresso, as well as cold alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and snacks.
There’s a whole barista culture around our love of coffee in Australia. Enjoying a cup of coffee made by a barista in a café or restaurant continues to grow in popularity.
Its now easier than ever to have a barista- style coffee experience in your home. Whether it be enjoying a freshly made cappuccino while reading the paper, a relaxing espresso on your balcony or a latte while juggling breakfast and school lunchboxes, Nespresso's range of coffee machines make the creation of a deliciously warm beverage as easy as boiling the kettle.
