Caffè Nero’s Coffee at Home range is the kind of quietly brilliant offering that deserves to be shouted about. Seven expertly crafted profiles, from approachable medium roasts to bold, brooding darks, each roasted in the traditional Italian style that defines Nero’s coffee identity.
These aren’t just supermarket coffees with a high-street logo slapped on. They’re the real thing: the same blends served in stores across the country, roasted in small batches at Caffè Nero’s Battersea roastery, and packed for brewing on your terms. Whether you prefer whole bean, ground filter, espresso, or Nespresso-compatible pods, the range covers all bases.
At the heart of the range is Classico, Nero’s signature blend and the recipe that launched the brand back in 1997. Created by founder Gerry Ford himself, it’s a medium roast with deep notes of caramel and dark chocolate. A cup that manages to be both comforting and complex, with a full body and just the right touch of sweetness. It’s the kind of coffee that becomes a habit. And that’s exactly the point.
Caffè Nero Coffee at Home
But the story doesn’t stop at flavour. Behind every cup is a journey that spans continents, microclimates, and generations of coffee farming knowledge. Nero’s resident Coffee Master (yes, it’s a real title) is more Indiana Jones than barista. He travels to the peaks of Latin America, the plateaus of East Africa and the forests of Southeast Asia in search of the perfect bean.
He partners directly with growers who understand the delicate relationship between plant and place. The soil, the rainfall, the elevation; all of it matters. When the crop is finally harvested, by hand, at just the right moment, it travels to London, where Nero’s roast team applies years of experience to coax out the full potential of every bean.
The result? Coffee with character. Coffee with depth. Coffee that speaks of where it came from. Alongside Classico, the range includes robust Italian blends like Siena and Napoletano, crafted single origins from Colombia and Brazil, and even a limited Winter Blend served in cafés at Christmas. It’s a collection designed to suit every taste and brewing preference, and to bring the barista experience home without the faff.
Prices start at £5 for core blends, £5.50 for single origins and the Winter Blend, and £4.40 for a 10-pack of capsules. Available in-store at Caffè Nero, online at Caffènero.com and Amazon, and stocked in major supermarkets including Waitrose, Morrisons and Ocado, the range is as accessible as it is accomplished.
