Summer is synonymous with sunshine, relaxation, and maybe even a trip to a beautiful coastal destination. But what if you could recreate that feeling right at home, with every sip of your coffee? Nespresso and PANTONE’s Unforgettable Mediterranean Summer collection does just that, offering a sensory journey to the sun-drenched shores of the Mediterranean.
This collaboration goes beyond just delicious coffee. Nespresso and PANTONE have also brewed a color palette that draws inspiration from the iconic hues of the 1970s Riviera.

A vibrant burst of ‘Mandarin Orange’, the color of a summer sunset, stands out as the hero shade. This energetic hue is surrounded by a symphony of complementary colors that evoke various elements of the idyllic Mediterranean landscape.

Surrounding it is a calming ‘Habanero Gold’, reminiscent of the sun-kissed sands. A touch of ‘Muskmelon’ delivers a playful sweetness, like a perfectly ripe summer fruit.

‘Blue Iolite’ brings in the serenity of the deep Mediterranean waters, while ‘Aquarelle’ whispers of the clear blue sky. Finally, a touch of ‘Tofu’ grounds the palette, representing the whitewashed houses that dot the coastlines.

To tantalize the taste buds, Nespresso has created a range of refreshing iced coffees perfect for balmy summer days. The star of the show is the brand-new Sunny Almond Vanilla for Vertuo, a smooth and light-roasted blend with a touch of almond and vanilla that evokes the carefree spirit of a Mediterranean cruise. Fans of classic summer flavors won't be disappointed either—the ever-popular Coconut Over Ice is back for both Original and Vertuo machines.
For those who crave a bold and refreshing cold brew experience, the coffee brand offers the Cold Brew Style Intense for Vertuo. This option delivers the rich and satisfying taste of cold brew in just minutes, without the bitterness that can sometimes come with traditional brewing methods.
Back to adding a dash of color, there’s a PANTONE Limited Edition Mug in the cheerful Mandarin Orange, while stylish travel mugs and coasters ensure you can bring the Mediterranean vibes with you wherever you go.

The experience extends beyond the cup too. Nespresso boutiques worldwide will be undergoing a vibrant transformation, decked out in the campaign’s color palette. Stepping into a boutique will be like stepping onto a charming Riviera street, transporting you to the heart of summer. Additionally, Nespresso will be transforming its iconic Plage area at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival into a glamorous 70s-inspired beach club. Popup experiences in key cities around the world will give drinkers a taste of the Mediterranean throughout the summer.
