As temperatures rise and iced coffee season officially returns, Nespresso is embracing the summer spirit with a nostalgic new collection inspired by the carefree energy of the “Summer of ’86”. Featuring vibrant limited-edition coffee flavours, stylish accessories and the launch of the new Vertuo Up machine, the brand’s latest drop is designed to turn every iced coffee break into a refreshing summer ritual.
The new seasonal range combines citrusy flavours, tropical notes and retro-inspired aesthetics, perfectly timed for coffee lovers looking to elevate their warm-weather drinks at home.
New Nespresso Summer Flavours Arrive for Original and Vertuo Machines
Yuzu Vanilla Over Ice Brings a Citrus Twist
Leading the collection is the brand-new Yuzu Vanilla Over Ice coffee, available for both Original and Vertuo machines. Combining bright Japanese yuzu flavours with sweet vanilla, the light-roast Arabica blend has been crafted specifically for refreshing iced coffee recipes.
Nespresso recommends serving it as a Yuzu Vanilla Double Espresso Tonic — a sparkling citrus-forward drink designed for poolside afternoons and sunny summer moments.
Fans can explore the full collection via Nespresso UK Official Website.
Coconut Vanilla Over Ice Returns for Summer
Back by popular demand, Coconut Vanilla Over Ice also returns this season. The flavour blends smooth Latin American coffees with sweet coconut vanilla notes for a tropical-inspired iced coffee experience.
One standout serving suggestion is the Matcha Coconut Vanilla Iced Coffee, offering a creamy, modern twist that combines coffee and matcha flavours into one chilled summer drink.
Alongside the seasonal flavours, Nespresso’s permanent cold coffee range also returns, including:
- Freddo Intenso for Original machines
- Ice Leggero for Vertuo
- Ice Forte for Vertuo
Viral Nespresso Travel Tumblers Return in New Summer Colours
Nespresso’s popular Travel Tumbler makes a comeback this summer in two new pastel-inspired shades: bubblegum and lavender.
Designed for both commuting and outdoor summer adventures, the tumblers have become a social media favourite thanks to their sleek aesthetic and practical functionality.
The matching Nespresso Travel Mug range has also been refreshed in the same colour palette, alongside the brand’s wider collection of coffee accessories, including ice cube trays and premium glassware.

Vertuo Up Machine Designed for Iced Coffee Lovers
The launch also spotlights the new Vertuo Up machine, which introduces a dedicated Coffee Creation button engineered to optimise coffee extractions for iced drinks.
Powered by Nespresso’s Centrifusion Technology, the machine automatically recognises each capsule and adjusts the brewing process to create layered flavours topped with the brand’s signature crema.
According to Nespresso, the Vertuo Up machine can produce iced-ready coffee in just three seconds, making it ideal for quick summer drinks served black, with dairy milk or plant-based alternatives.
More information about Vertuo machines can be found on the Official Nespresso Vertuo Range Page.
Nespresso Leans Into the Growing Iced Coffee Trend
The launch reflects the continued rise in iced coffee culture across the UK, with consumers increasingly recreating café-style drinks at home. Limited-edition flavours, colourful drinkware and recipe-led coffee collections have become a key focus for major coffee brands heading into summer 2026.
Nespresso’s latest campaign blends nostalgic summer aesthetics with practical at-home brewing innovations, offering coffee fans new ways to customise their seasonal drinks throughout the warmer months.
