Located adjacent to Michael Kors, The White Company and Beauty Bazaar Harvey Nichols, the 1,600 sq ft Nespresso is a unique immersive boutique and only their third globally, following trials in Cannes and New York. The main focus of the concept is to celebrate coffee moments through experiential tastings and workshops with the brand’s team of experts.
The Liverpool One boutique hosts bespoke and interactive classes for customers, comparing the brand’s Grand Crus and Limited Edition releases, alongside demonstrations of Nespresso machines and accessories and how to master the art of coffee making.
Nespresso has a strong emphasis on sustainability and the store, designed by an in house team, features tabletops made of used coffee grounds from the Nespresso factory in Switzerland, and wood sourced from Nespresso reforestation programs on coffee farms. In addition, customers who are Nespresso Members can return their used capsules to be recycled.

It is a stylish, modern location at the heart of the city and the premium brands alongside us add to a wonderful shopping experience.”
