Caffè Nero Espresso

Caffè Nero is a premium European coffee house brand founded in London, United Kingdom, in 1997 by Gerry Ford. Although it markets itself with an Italian theme and identity, it is a British-owned and operated chain. The coffee beans are sourced from multiple regions around the world but are primarily roasted in the company's own roasting facility in London to ensure a consistent Italian-style flavor profile across all locations.

The brand has grown significantly to become one of the largest independent coffee retailers in the world. It remains under the ownership of the Nero Group, which is headquartered in London. The company operates hundreds of coffee shops across the UK, Europe, and the Middle East, maintaining a private ownership structure rather than being part of a larger multinational food conglomerate.
