AN UNCOMPROMISING PATH TO COFFEE PERFECTION

From cherry to cup, we take you on the journey Nespresso makes to bring you exceptional coffee.

What’s inside a Nespresso capsule? We don’t leave anything to chance when it comes to fresh coffee. From selecting some of the best quality coffee beans to designing and producing our coffee machines, we ensure that every choice we make meets uncompromisingly high standards. Here’s how your favourite coffee is deliberately selected and prepared before making its way into your cup.

01

Terroir

First, we consider the terroir – the location, climate and soil of the coffee farm or plantation where coffee trees grow – as this has a huge influence on the coffee’s taste profile and character.

02

THE COFFEE BEANS

We work closely with the farmers who produce our coffee and support them with Nespresso agronomists – trained experts in the science of agriculture production. They advise our partner farmers on crop-growing techniques to yield coffee beans of superior quality and flavour. For instance, our agronomists encourage farmers to grow trees among coffee crops to protect against harsh sunlight and allow coffee cherries to ripen with more complex flavours, and train them to always pick ripe coffee cherries to guarantee the best taste profiles through techniques like handpicking.

03

ROASTING AND GRINDING

Great coffee beans is just one part to creating an exceptional cup of Nespresso coffee. Our master coffee roasters have years of experience and know the best coffee roasting techniques to bring out the rich flavours and aromas of the beans. They might choose a split-roast, for example, which involves roasting coffee beans of a similar size and density together when crafting a distinct coffee blend. Our master coffee grinders then use their expertise to decide the best grind to complement the roasting technique, resulting in exquisite coffee for your drinking pleasure.

04

WHY ALUMINIUM CAPSULES

We use aluminium for our coffee capsules as it provides unparalleled protection against taste-altering elements like light and humidity, thereby retaining the coffee’s full flavours, aromas and freshness until consumption. Not to mention, aluminium allows us to deliver exceptional coffee cup after cup sustainably, as it is infinitely recyclable and can be made into many other items after.

05

OUR COFFEE MACHINES

Our engineers have specially designed a wide range of coffee machines so you can effortlessly make your perfect cup of Nespresso coffee – be it an espresso, latte or cappuccino at the touch of a button, right in the comfort of home.
