Nespresso collaborated with The Weeknd on a Togetherness Blend, then expanded the Nespresso x Samra Origins collection with two new Vertuo Pop+ machines—and now, a Samra Origins Vinyl Café pop-up is coming to Soho.
This fall, the artisanal coffee brand is transforming its Soho boutique into a vinyl listening café, and dropping an exclusive, limited-edition vinyl pressed with Nespresso coffee grounds. The first 200 customers to purchase the Samra Vertuo Pop+ Machine collection will receive the collectible vinyl.
For a limited time in September and October, those who visit 579 Broadway will be immersed in the Horn of Africa, from Ethio-jazz and rare soul to funk, and invited to sample signature coffee creations with the Nespresso x Samra Origins Togetherness Blend.
