Virgin Australia and Nespresso to offer coffee in the sky
Virgin Australia has partnered with coffee brand Nespresso to bring premium coffee options to its business class passengers.
VIRGIN AUSTRALIAĀ and NESPRESSOĀ announced Tuesday their collaboration to offer travelers gourmet coffee from the Nespresso by B/E Aerospace machine that was designed to brew on airplanes.
Travelers in Virgin Australia’s newly refurbished business class cabin on board the Airbus A 330 fleet will benefit from the machines, which are engineered for high-altitude brewing.
Flow time, volume and temperature are maximized under the new technology and the machines are capable of creating quality milk foam just like their on-land counterparts.
The machines have been tested in high altitude chambers, according to a press release, which says the results deliver fine coffee at 30,000 feet.
