Nespresso Ristretto coffee capsules

Nespresso is a premium coffee brand that revolutionized the industry with its portioned coffee system. The brand was invented in Switzerland by Nestlé employee Eric Favre in 1976 and officially launched in 1986.

Nespresso's production is highly centralized to ensure quality control, with almost all its coffee production and capsule manufacturing taking place across several state-of-the-art facilities located exclusively in Switzerland.

The brand remains a vital part of the Nestlé S.A. portfolio, which is the world's largest food and beverage company. As of 2024 and looking toward 2026, Nestlé continues to maintain its global headquarters in Vevey, Switzerland, managing Nespresso as an autonomous global business unit.
