[title]Because beyond personal tastes or routines, there’s something universal about those everyday coffee moments: the first cup of the morning, the after-lunch espresso, the drink before heading out, or that brief pause between meetings. And if every dad has a different personality, why keep giving them the same gift?
From intense capsules and iced recipes to smooth coffees and blends inspired by cities around the world, Nespresso has put together a selection that works almost like a coffee personality test. The idea isn’t simply to choose a flavor, but to find the coffee that truly feels like him.
For the Classic Dad: Arpeggio
He follows a routine, orders “the usual,” and probably found his favorite coffee years ago. He doesn’t need the latest trends or experimental flavors.
Arpeggio fits this profile perfectly. It’s one of Nespresso’s most iconic coffees: intense, creamy, and rich in cocoa notes. The kind of espresso that works just as well on a Monday at 7 a.m. as it does on a quiet Sunday morning with the newspaper.
In short, a classic that never goes out of style.

For the Foodie Dad: Flat White with Roma
Some people turn every outing into a culinary recommendation. They know where to buy great ravioli, which restaurant just opened, and where to find the best breakfast in town.
For them, coffee is also an experience. That’s where Nespresso brings specialty coffee culture into the home, offering options designed for experimenting with recipes, textures, and serving styles. A great choice is a Flat White made with Roma capsules: balanced, smooth, and ideal for creating a creamy texture without sacrificing flavor.
It’s the kind of coffee that looks perfect in a beautiful cup, paired with something sweet.
For the Athletic Dad: Iced Americano
Some people drink coffee to wake up. Others make it part of their daily lifestyle. The athletic dad usually belongs to the second group.
He’s up early, always moving between the gym, running, cycling, or tennis, and probably drinks more water than anyone else in the family. For him, an Iced Americano is the perfect match: coffee over ice, no milk, refreshing, and straightforward.
Minimalist, practical, and very much on trend.
For the Practical Dad: Ristretto or Kazaar
The dad who leaves the house in five minutes. The one who solves everything quickly. The one who drinks coffee standing up while checking emails or multitasking.
That’s where intense, short coffees like Ristretto or Kazaar come in. Bold profiles, high concentration, and no unnecessary fuss.
Because some dads don’t need an elaborate ritual—just a really good coffee.

For the Ritual-Loving Dad: Coffee, a Favorite Mug, and Silence
Then there’s the dad who turns coffee into a ceremony. He has his own mug, his own schedule, and probably a very specific brewing method that nobody else fully understands.
For him, coffee isn’t functional—it’s personal time. Arpeggio once again makes a great choice, perhaps paired with a special mug or accessory that makes the daily ritual even more enjoyable.
Some people meditate. Others simply drink coffee alone for five minutes and regain their faith in humanity.
For the Traveler Dad: World Explorations
This dad always has stories about airports, restaurants, hotels, and cities ready for any conversation. Chances are he has said at least once, “The best coffee I ever had was in…”
The World Explorations collection was made for him. Inspired by coffee traditions from different cities around the world, these coffees transform an everyday habit into something more adventurous.
Because some people keep traveling even when they’re standing still.
For the Trendsetter Dad
There’s also the dad who tries everything first. The one who upgrades his phone before anyone else, discovers new restaurants, and always has an app recommendation ready.
For him, coffee is all about exploration. New flavors, iced recipes, different brewing styles, and limited editions that go beyond the classic espresso routine.
For this dad, combining intense varieties with iced coffee recipes—or exploring limited-edition releases and special collections—is a winning idea.

The Best Gift Is the One That Gets Used
Some gifts are spectacular but only last a couple of days. Others are much simpler and become part of everyday life. At a time when we increasingly value small daily rituals, gifting an experience that is enjoyable, practical, and part of a routine makes a lot of sense.
For Father’s Day, Nespresso is also offering special promotions, including gifts with capsule purchases and discounts on selected machines.
Because some dads are hard to surprise—but a great coffee certainly helps.
