Pistachio is the hottest flavor of 2025, and if you've walked past a high street coffee shop recently, you'll almost certainly have seen ads for green-tinted lattes in the window. The trend started last year, when pistachio-filled Dubai chocolate (initially created to satisfy pregnancy cravings) began appearing in social media videos, and now Nespresso has got in on the act with a vanilla and pistachio-flavored coffee pod.
I spotted the green and cream-colored Nespresso Vertuo Vanilla Pistachio capsules on the Nespresso website a couple of weeks ago, and couldn't resist adding a pack to my order. So what are they like, and can they compete with the likes of Starbucks?
