Starbucks Blonde Espresso Roast Nespresso Capsules

Starbucks Blonde Espresso Roast capsules for Nespresso machines are a core product of the Global Coffee Alliance. This alliance was formed in 2018 when Nestlé paid a multi-billion dollar fee for the perpetual rights to market Starbucks consumer and foodservice products globally, excluding Starbucks coffee shops.

While the Starbucks brand was founded in Seattle, Washington, USA, the manufacturing of these specific aluminum capsules primarily takes place in Nestlé's specialized production facilities. These are frequently located in Switzerland, where Nespresso's technological hubs are based, though production can occur in other regional markets to serve local demand.

Ownership of the brand name remains with the Starbucks Corporation in the United States, but the 'At-Home' product line seen here is managed and distributed by Nestlé S.A. headquartered in Vevey, Switzerland.
