Nespresso Launches Limited Dragon Edition Coffee Machine

If you’ve ever wanted a coffee machine that doubles as a conversation piece—especially during Lunar New Year—you’re not alone. But finding one that’s both stylish and functional isn’t easy. This year, Nespresso has something truly unique for coffee lovers looking to make a statement.

Nespresso has released just 3,000 units of the Shanghai Tang for Nespresso Dragon Collection in the Asia-Pacific region, available exclusively at Nespresso ION Orchard. The highlight is the award-winning CitiZ espresso machine, paired with matching luxury accessories.

What Is the Shanghai Tang for Nespresso Dragon Collection?

This limited-edition collection blends Nespresso’s high-performance coffee technology with Shanghai Tang’s signature modern-Chinese aesthetic, timed for the Lunar New Year. The main piece is the CitiZ espresso machine, redesigned with a dragon-themed visual identity while retaining its core functionality.

Why This Machine Stands Out

The CitiZ model included in this collection has previously won the prestigious Red Dot Design Award. It features Nespresso’s patented extraction system and includes an automatic energy-saving mode. The entire set is designed to deliver both high performance and premium visual appeal, suitable for display as well as daily use.

What’s in the Limited Edition Set?

The Shanghai Tang for Nespresso Dragon Collection includes:

• The Dragon Edition CitiZ espresso machine (3,000 units total)
• Limited-edition collectible Dragon Cappuccino Cups (matching the machine’s design)
• Limited-edition Dragon Capsule Holders, available in jade or silver finishes

All items reflect traditional Chinese motifs reinterpreted through Shanghai Tang’s contemporary lens. The capsule holder, in particular, adds a decorative yet practical touch to any kitchen.

Where and When Can You Buy It?

The 3,000-unit limited run is available only in the Asia-Pacific region, with purchases currently possible at Nespresso ION Orchard. Given the small production run, availability is expected to be limited, especially as the Lunar New Year approaches.
