Oatly and Nespresso Introduce Limited-Edition Coffee Blend for Oat Milk Lovers
Oatly Group AB and Nestlé Nespresso have partnered to launch a new coffee blend designed specifically for oat milk enthusiasts. The limited-edition Oatly Barista Edition Coffee is crafted to complement the taste and texture of Oatly’s oat-based beverage and is exclusively compatible with Nespresso Vertuo coffee machines.
This collaboration caters to the increasing number of consumers opting for plant-based milk alternatives. According to ProVeg, 50% of consumers in the US and Europe, along with two-thirds in Asia-Pacific and Latin America, now incorporate plant-based milk into their diets.
Karsten Ranitzsch, Global Head of Coffee at Nespresso, emphasized the brand’s commitment to personalizing the coffee experience:
“At Nespresso, we’re all about taste and ensuring every coffee lover can craft their perfect cup. With more people choosing plant-based drinks, we’re thrilled to partner with Oatly to offer this specially curated blend.”
Co-developed by coffee experts from both companies, the Oatly Barista Edition Coffee features rich, biscuity notes, enhancing the natural sweetness and creaminess of oat milk. The blend offers cereal-like aromatics, a light body, low bitterness, and a smooth finish.
Launched on January 28, 2025, the blend is available for a limited time in over 15 countries, including the US, UK, China, and Australia, through Nespresso’s online store and retail boutiques.
Toby Weedon, Barista Development Director at Oatly, highlighted the blend’s compatibility with oat milk:
“Oatly Barista Edition brings out the best flavors in coffee, which is why it’s favored by professional baristas and coffee enthusiasts worldwide. We’re excited to have worked with Nespresso’s experts to create a coffee capsule tailored for oat drink lovers.”
This collaboration marks a significant step in expanding premium coffee options for plant-based consumers.
