Nespresso has revolutionized the way of preparing coffee to deliver the ultimate coffee experience for each one of life’s moments of indulgence.
At the heart of this concept is the unique Nespresso trilogy: the hermetically-sealed, iconic capsules with the large variety of Grand Cru ground coffees, the state-of-the-art, easy-to-use, sleek-looking coffee machines, and the Nespresso Club which offers unmatched personal service.

Nespresso Origins

During the 1970s Nestlé anticipated the growth of the speciality or gourmet coffee market and was inspired by espresso inventor Luiggi Bezzera’s original concept. The principle was straightforward: to offer the quality of espresso made in the best Italian coffee bars directly in homes and work places.

It became clear that over and above the selection of the finest coffee beans, the secret of perfecting espresso lies in the precise combination of freshly ground coffee, water and pressurized air, which allows superior extraction and emulsion of the coffee. After years of research on the technological development of the machine and the coffee capsule, including many patents, the project was completed in the mid 1980’s.

The end result was the Nespresso system, a technically advanced espresso machine using unique, pre-measured ground coffee capsules that protect more than 900 coffee aromas from the damaging effects of light, air and moisture. This system consistently yields high-quality espresso – the perfect marriage of aroma, body, taste and crema.

It marked the start of a new era: that of portioned coffee of the highest quality.
