Get into the Australian spirit with these homegrown stories and coffee blends that have been specially co-developed locally to suit the Australian palette.
The Books
Homecoming by Kate Morton
The highly anticipated new novel from the worldwide bestselling author of The Clockmaker’s Daughter, an epic novel with a thrilling mystery at its heart tracing a shocking crime whose effects are felt across continents and generations. This novel is another homerun for the beloved Aussie author.

The Seven Skins of Esther Wilding by Holly Ringland
From the internationally bestselling author of The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart, Holly Ringland, comes a haunting and magical novel about joy, grief, courage, sisterly love and transformation. We love this book so much, it was named our Best Book of the Year in 2022!

Exiles by Jane Harper
Jane Harper is one of the most prolific Australian crime writers, famously known for writing The Dry. Exiles is the third novel in the popular Aaron Falk series explores the case of a missing mother in South Australia. Gritty and uniquely Australian, this book is the perfect accompaniment to a delicious cup of Nespresso coffee.

Dark Emu by Bruce Pascoe
Dark Emu puts forward an argument for a reconsideration of the hunter-gatherer tag for pre-colonial Aboriginal Australians. The evidence insists that Aboriginal people right across the continent were using domesticated plants, sowing, harvesting, irrigating, and storing — behaviours inconsistent with the hunter-gatherer tag. A book that every Aussie should read.
Love Stories by Trent Dalton
The entrancing story of a reclusive Hollywood starlet as she reflects on her relentless rise to the top and the long-held secrets the public could never imagine, and of course, her seven husbands. Taylor Jenkins Reid is one of our beloved authors and we think this book is a great place to start.
The Coffee:
Bianco Piccolo.
Nespresso knows Australians love a delicious coffee with milk. That’s why they co-developed the Bianco Piccolo and Bianco Doppio blends with Australian Coffee Ambassador, Mitch Monaghan. Discover Bianco Piccolo. With its smooth and creamy texture, it’s the perfect blend for a cappuccino. A dark roasted coffee with caramel, nutty and biscuit notes.
Bianco Doppio.
This blend, made from split-roasted Kenyan, Nicaraguan and Colombian beans, shows beautifully sweet caramel notes and a hint of fruitiness.
Don’t be fooled by its light roast and lack of bitterness: this is still a coffee that dances with flavour and offers surprising complexity. Along with caramel and fruit, there’s a touch of cereal, too, and a smooth, creamy texture when combined with milk. Perfect for lazy Sunday mornings paired with a romantic Australian tale.
We think Australia has some incredible talent when it comes to writing, and these books are no exception. Enjoy stories from these fantastic Aussie authors with a mug of Nespresso coffee in hand.
