It’s easy to be skeptical about food collabs. But this one? It’s the real deal.
Kuala Lumpur’s melting. You’ve dodged traffic, braved the heat, and now all you want is something cold, creamy, and preferably caffeinated. Paolo Paolo Gelato is teaming up with Nespresso this summer to serve exactly that. It’s gelato. It’s espresso. It’s the collab we didn’t know we needed, but are very glad exists.
Paolo Paolo and Nespresso
The Vanilla Mascarpone with Pistachio gelato is a creamy, nutty dream—subtle but luxurious, the kind of scoop you eat slowly just to make it last. The Coconut Vanilla Sorbet, meanwhile, tastes like it’s made for tropical reverie: light, bright, and just sweet enough to feel indulgent without overdoing it.
But the real showstoppers? The affogato and the deconstructed tiramisu. The affogato, poured tableside with Nespresso’s limited-edition Pistachio or Coconut Vanilla iced coffee, creates this silky, slightly fizzy meld of cold gelato and fresh espresso that’s worth its own chapter in your dessert diary. The tiramisu, served layered and playful, is basically an edible summer daydream.
Limited-Edition Iced Coffee, Made to Play
This collab is part of Nespresso’s new “Coolest Coffee in Town” Summer collection. Anchored by two standout limited-edition flavours—Pistachio Vanilla Over Ice and Coconut Vanilla Over Ice—it’s a love letter to the breezy indulgence of 90s nostalgia, remixed for 2025.
Each capsule is designed to be brewed cold, delivering bold flavour with a soft, creamy finish. The Pistachio Vanilla is nutty with a luxe whisper of sweetness, while the Coconut Vanilla is bright, tropical, and hits like a beachside playlist. They’re available in both Original and Vertuo systems, and yes, they absolutely belong in your freezer this month.
Summer Accessories
Beyond the cup, Nespresso’s summer line-up includes an iced coffee lover’s dream haul: pastel-hued Vertuo Pop machines in Pistachio Green (RM899), limited-edition travel tumblers, and recipe kits complete with straws, spoons, and more.
