Nespresso is inviting South Africans to discover Magic in the Making. This is a tribute to the rituals, flavours and craftsmanship that make festive gatherings unforgettable. The 2025 collection introduces limited edition coffees, an African inspired blend and beautifully designed accessories. These are wrapped in vivid artwork by Kenyan visual artist Thandiwe Muriu. Her work draws inspiration from the African coffee flower. It bursts with colour, warmth and energy reflecting a South African summer in full bloom.
Whether you are brewing a morning cup before a hot day ahead or relaxing by the pool after a festive feast, these coffees are perfect. They are designed to bring a touch of magic to every moment, including catching up with family over dessert.

Nespresso South Africa CEO Gabriel Nobre says the new range is all about celebrating connection. “Coffee forms a part of so many joyous occasions during this time of year. This collection celebrates that beautifully. Each blend was crafted to bring people together. It turns everyday rituals into something truly special and honours the craftsmanship and creativity that make the festive season so meaningful.”
Limited Edition Coffees to Celebrate the Season
At the heart of the festive range is a new Arabica blend sourced from Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Kenya. Available as the Festive Espresso for Original and the Festive Double Espresso for Vertuo, it features cereal and fruity notes. Caramel and woody undertones add depth. It can be enjoyed as a pure espresso or as a luxurious Latte Macchiato.
Two additional flavoured creations join the summer lineup:
- Sweet Almond & Hibiscus: A delicate blend of nutty sweetness and floral brightness that brings to mind gardens in full bloom.
- Cinnamon & Candied Tamarin: A lively mix of warm spice and jammy sweetness that captures the joyful spirit of the festive season.
Gifts Designed to Delight
Nespresso’s Advent Calendars return to bring daily excitement throughout December. Available for both Original and Vertuo systems, each calendar showcases Thandiwe Muriu’s striking patterns. There is a special surprise behind the final door.
The new Barista Mixologist Stemmed Glasses elevate summer entertaining with elegant silhouettes perfect for iced coffees and creative cocktails. They pair beautifully with the embossed Coffee Mug which features Muriu’s coffee flower motif. For an added indulgence, the limited edition box of chocolates with cocoa nibs offers the ideal after dinner treat.
Machines That Turn Every Cup Into a Ritual
For those looking to gift exceptional coffee experiences, Nespresso’s machines continue to shine. The Vertuo Creatista caters to latte art lovers and aspiring baristas. Meanwhile, the compact Essenza Mini is ideal for minimalists who enjoy straightforward sophistication. Each machine transforms everyday coffee moments into something special.
A Celebration of African Creativity
The collaboration with Thandiwe Muriu highlights the power of African art and culture. Known for her vibrant portraits and symbolic patterns, she reimagines traditional textiles and everyday Kenyan motifs into bold contemporary works. Through her artistry, this festive collection becomes a celebration of African identity and the shared moments that bring people together.
