- Two popular limited edition Nespresso flavors are returning in 2026
- Pistachio vanilla and white chocolate and strawberry debuted last year
- The two variants are expected to be rebuilt next week
Nespresso is bringing back two of last year’s most popular flavors in limited edition: Pistachio Vanilla Over Ice and White Chocolate and Strawberry.
The two cute options launched last spring and proved extremely popular, but were only on sale for a few months. Now, though, it looks like both flavors will soon be back on sale in Nespresso’s online store and stores, so you can stock up on your favorites.
Strawberry and White Chocolate and Pistachio Vanilla have already returned in Canada, and according to a post on the r/NespressoSpoilers subreddit, they’ll be returning to the US on January 28, along with a selection of other limited editions.

That’s not all – Nespresso fans in Canada have also been treated to two limited edition ‘celebration mugs’ in a pink color called Strawberry and a cream shade called Parchment, which will likely go on sale in the US alongside the coffee pods. I will keep a close eye on the online store to see if they also go on sale next week.
Tasting notes
If you didn’t manage to get your hands (and taste buds) on white chocolate and strawberry the first time around, you might be wondering how these two flavors would work when paired with coffee. The answer is: surprisingly good. The pods use a blend of Arabica beans from Brazil and Colombia, which already have quite a fruity profile, and the flavor added after roasting complements them instead of overpowering them.
I found that the freshness of the strawberry came through first, with the creamy base notes of the vanilla following. I wasn’t sure how well the fruitiness would pair with milk, but I found that a splash of oats or dairy muted the acidity and brought out the vanilla.
Pistachio Vanilla was launched during the pistachio-filled Dubai chocolate craze, but its enduring popularity has proven it wasn’t just a fleeting trend. This particular flavor is meant to be served over ice for a refreshingly chilled drink, but I found it just as tasty warm – and I wasn’t alone.
“Yayyy I’ve been enjoying my last box and hissing at my fiance every time he looks at it,” wrote one Reddit user, while another admitted to hiding their last two pods behind their bottles of vitamins.
Each capsule yields a sweet-smelling double espresso, and I topped mine off with cold milk foam made using De’Longhi Primadonna Aromatic, which I was testing at the time. If you don’t already have a coffee machine that can froth cold milk, the Nespresso Aeroccino 4 is a great standalone option.

The pistachio vanilla flavor is more potent than white chocolate and strawberry, which makes sense since it’s meant to be poured over ice cream, which will dilute it as it melts. Served as an iced latte, it was refreshing and well-rounded, without being overly sweet.
If you fancy something more dessert-like, Nespresso has a recipe for an iced pistachio vanilla oat latte using the capsules, which includes marshmallows for extra indulgence.
I don’t know if the two flavors are now permanent or will soon disappear from the shelves again, so once they go on sale I will definitely pick up several packs just in case.
