Mmmm, we can't wait to try 'em all! These drinks and desserts were created to celebrate the launch of Nespresso's new iced coffee range—Barista Creations For Ice.

It consists of two distinctive blends that are super easy to brew at home. As their names suggest, Freddo Delicato is great for those who prefer a lighter taste, while Freddo Intenso is perfect for those who like stronger coffee.

From cooler temperatures to specific blends, Barista Creations For Ice was specifically developed so that you can enjoy a perfect and satisfying cup of iced coffee.

No more watered down or diluted iced coffees for you!

By spending five years tasting iconic recipes from around the world and learning what makes the ultimate iced coffee, Nespresso was able to create an incredible range that'll definitely satisfy all coffee lovers. No matter which blend you choose, it'll hit that spot just right!

Here's a closer look at the two different blends:

Freddo Delicato
This lightly roasted coffee has been crafted to deliver delicate notes to your palate. Give it a try if you want something refreshing. The fruity notes from the Kenyan coffee in this blend will keep you cool, whether you're out in the hot sun or just chilling at home.

Freddo Intenso
If you want a more indulgent iced coffee, opt for Freddo Intenso instead—a blend of South American Arabica and Indonesian Arabica beans. When paired with ice, it has an intense flavour and full-bodied finish, perfect for cooling down on a warm afternoon.
