Nespresso Professional has launched its first-ever limited-edition Pumpkin Spice blend for workplace environments, aiming to bring seasonal flavour trends into the office coffee occasion.

The launch follows new research commissioned by Nespresso, which found that 64% of UK employees are excited about the arrival of autumn, rising to 78.9% among those aged 25–34.

The research also highlights the role of coffee rituals in workplace culture, with 58% of respondents saying workplace coffee rituals provide an essential reset following the summer break. Meanwhile, 57% said grabbing a hot drink with colleagues is important for catching up after the holidays.

The new Pumpkin Spice blend combines South American Arabicas with seasonal notes of cinnamon, clove and cardamom, alongside a sweet pumpkin pie flavour.

Designed particularly for milk-based recipes, the blend can be served either hot or over ice, according to Nespresso.

The company said the launch responds to growing interest in seasonal flavours, with 43% of 18–34-year-olds surveyed saying they eagerly anticipate the arrival of pumpkin spice drinks each year. Overall, 57% of respondents said they are more likely to treat themselves to a special coffee during autumn.

Silvio Pella, B2B commercial director at Nespresso UK&I, said: “By introducing Pumpkin Spice to our professional range for the first time, we are giving businesses a simple way to make the office feel a little more welcoming."
