Nescafé Dolce Gusto Espresso Napoli

Nescafé Dolce Gusto is a prominent coffee capsule system developed and launched by Nestlé in 2006. The brand's origin is tied to the broader Nescafé history, which began in Switzerland in 1938 as a result of a collaboration with the Brazilian government to manage coffee surpluses. The Dolce Gusto system was specifically designed to provide a variety of high-quality coffee-shop-style beverages at home, utilizing a high-pressure system and patented smart capsules.

Manufacturing of the coffee capsules occurs in several specialized facilities worldwide to support its global market. Major production sites include the Girona factory in Spain, which is one of the largest coffee manufacturing plants in Europe, as well as facilities in the United Kingdom and Brazil. The raw coffee beans for the 'Espresso Napoli' blend are typically sourced from regions like Uganda, Brazil, and Colombia, then roasted and encapsulated in these international hubs.

The brand is owned by Nestlé, a Swiss multinational food and beverage giant headquartered in Vevey, Switzerland. While the coffee capsules are produced by Nestlé, the machine hardware is often manufactured through partnerships with specialized appliance companies like Krups (part of Groupe SEB) and De'Longhi. Nestlé continues to be the ultimate owner and global manager of the brand as of 2026.
