The Kafi Crème - A symbol of Swiss coffee culture
In collaboration with top chef Heiko Nieder, Nespresso presents an exclusive coffee co-creation: Zurich Lungo. The limited edition is an homage to Zurich and its vibrant coffee culture.
‘For me, the Kafi Crème is the perfect embodiment of Swiss coffee culture. It combines the elegance of a Lungo with the rich creaminess that we appreciate so much in Switzerland,’ says Heiko Nieder, Chef Fine Dining at the Dolder Grand Zurich, who has been awarded two Michelin stars and 19 Gault Millau points.
‘Switzerland, and the city of Zurich in particular, is an important platform for the world’s coffee consumption culture. Many trends have their origins here,’ explains Dominique Niederhauser, Coffee Ambassador at Nespresso Switzerland. ‘In collaboration with Heiko Nieder, we wanted to draw inspiration from this Kafi Crème. Zurich Lungo is the ideal coffee to start the day and enjoy for breakfast.’
This elegant yet complex coffee impresses with its perfect balance and aromatic intensity, complemented by biscuit-like notes and an aroma of hazelnuts, and develops its taste best with a dash of milk, but is also pleasing when drunk black.
The Zurich Lungo is a new addition to the famous World Explorations coffee range from Nespresso, which stands for the exploration of coffee traditions and rituals around the world.
The top chef was involved in all stages of the co-creation, from selecting the beans to extraction and roasting. Did you know? Switzerland is one of the countries with the highest level of coffee consumption in the world and has a historied coffee tradition.
