Nestlé Japan launches Nescafe Gold Blend Barista kotone

Nestlé Japan has launched the “Nescafe Gold Blend Barista kotone,” the latest model in its popular coffee maker series. Released on October 1, 2026, the device features a slim design by product designer Naoto Fukasawa and is available in three colors: Premium Black, Premium White, and Cool Gray, priced at 22,000 yen.

The new model emphasizes ease of use with one-touch extraction, a quiet operation design, and a series-first interchangeable coffee tank that allows users to switch between different coffee types easily. A new dedicated “NESCAFÉ” app has also been introduced to support customization and maintenance.

To support the brand's new communication campaign, “Uchi ni wa Barista ga Iru,” Nestlé Japan will host a pop-up experiential event at Roppongi Hills Ooyane Plaza in Tokyo from November 5 to November 14, 2026. The event will feature themed rooms, free coffee tastings, and influencer appearances to showcase the new product.
