Upgrade your breakfast with a Nespresso Lungo coffee

Whether you enjoy a light breakfast of cereal, fruits and granary toast, or a cooked platter with eggs, bacon and succulent sausages, a long cup of coffee is the perfect beverage to accompany your morning meal. Velvety smooth, a long cup prepares you for the day ahead – comforting, but simultaneously kick-starting your morning.

If you’re serious about finding the very best morning coffee, the Nespresso Lungo range includes Grand Cru blends that offer diverse taste profiles and intensities, all designed to be enjoyed in a long cup.

The Fortissio Lungo contains a blend of Indian Malabar Arabica beans, exposed to monsoon winds after harvest to reveal a distinguished aromatic profile, and Latin American Arabica beans, with an intense character. This combination creates a full-bodied Lungo, rich in aroma with sweet cereal and malty toasted notes.

The subtle floral notes of the Vivalto Lungo make it a perfect drink to enjoy with fruity pastries or fresh berries with yoghurt. With a balance of South American Arabica beans cultivated at high altitude, including Cerrado from Brazil, and an East African Arabica, the beans in this blend are split roasted to enhance the character of each origin. And if you prefer to start the day without caffeine, Vivalto Lungo Decaffeinato has the same rich character as the original Vivalto Lungo Grand Cru.

Made with pure Arabica from South America, Linizio Lungo is a balanced blend of Brazilian and Colombian coffee. Split-roasted, it has cereal, malty notes and a smooth character: contrast its mild finish with a full-flavoured cooked breakfast such as scrambled duck eggs with herby sausages or smoked salmon.

Or for a taste of authentic Ethiopian coffee heritage, the delicately fresh and floral Bukeela ka Ethiopia, made with two very different Ethiopian Arabicas, is a classic breakfast beverage revealing earthy notes of musk and wood. Enjoy it with freshly baked granary bread wedges with butter, or pancakes with cinnamon or honey.
