Nespresso Professional
From Bean to Cup
Discover Nespresso's coffee expertise to ensure a perfect espresso, cup after cup.
Nespresso came up with a simple but revolutionary idea: to create the perfect cup of espresso coffee with an exquisite crema, tantalising aroma and full-bodied taste, as generations of skilled baristas have done, yet with maximum convenience.
This spirit of innovation is still alive in our continuous quest for excellence at all stages of coffees creation, from the cherry on the tree to your perfectly extracted cup.
Farming
Responsible Sourcing Tastes Best
Our approach necessitates another level of selectivity which concerns the sustainability of the coffee tree and coffee world in general.
To address the issue of coffee’s future, we created the Nespresso AAA Sustainable Quality™ Program in 2003 in collaboration with the NGO Rainforest Alliance.
This program enables Nespresso to safeguard the future supply of the highest quality coffee, while paying farmers a higher income and protecting the natural environment. But our commitment goes beyond this; it is about a long-term relationship and continued loyalty to the coffee farmers in the program.

Harvesting
Coffee Is A Cherry
Cherries of the same tree will ripen at differing rates and therefore should be picked at different times.
In order to pick only correctly ripened fruit, the majority of coffees used for Nespresso coffees are harvested by hand. Though costlier in time and money, this guarantees the best quality, since beans that are too green, or overripe, are eliminated.

Not All Beans Are Created Equal...
''The better the grading, the more consistent the beans, the more even the roast, and ultimately, the more balanced the cup.''
Blending
The Alchemist's Art
We develop our coffees in a blend composition much like a form of magical alchemy. Having practiced these skills for over 25 years, Nespresso quality creation is masterful, not coincidental. As a perfumer knows the harmonics of his ingredients, so our master blenders understand the origins and the transformation of fragrance and flavours.
Nespresso panel cuppers are intensively trained, tested, certified and re-certified every 3 months for their ability to identify quality. Sensory evaluation looks beyond physical attributes, linking taste to variety, terroir and care in cultivation.

Roasting & Grinding
Terroir-Spesific Roasting For Terroir-Spesific Aromas
Roasting and grinding are vital stages towards creating a coffee as here we reveal the full flavor and aromatic potential of green coffee beans.
Coffee develops the full potential of its aroma during roasting. Correct roasting depends on finding the time, temperature and other parameters best suited to a blend, thereby allowing origin characteristics to be fully expressed.
Each coffee has its own specific roasting process designed to bring out the intrinsic characteristics of each origin.

Encapsulation
Capturing Freshness: Safeguarding Aromas For Your Cup
After grinding, the coffee is packed in a laminated aluminium capsule that protects ground coffee from contact with the air, light and moisture.
Processed and packed under inert atmosphere and hermetically sealed in, the Nespresso capsule guarantees consistent coffee quality by locking in the freshness of the coffee’s flavours and its 900 aromas for 12 months.
The material was also favoured because it is 100% recyclable and thus not only maintains quality and flavour integrity, but is not a spent resource once used.
Compared against the production of primary aluminium, the recycling of aluminium products consumes as little as 5% of the energy and emits only 5% of the greenhouse gases.

Tasting
Serve The Ultimate Expression
In the final quality step to the customer, extraction, Nespresso’s complete quality system ensures that finished capsules interact with machines in such a way as to extract all the flavours that have been so carefully sought, selected for, roasted, ground and packed…
In other words, to serve as the ultimate expression of all that has gone heretofore.
Our brewing systems operate at the right water temperature, quantity and pressure for each coffee design, so they deliver our quality promise in the cup.
