Douwe Egberts Lungo 8 Moka Royal coffee capsules

Douwe Egberts is a historic Dutch coffee and tea brand founded in 1753 in Joure, Netherlands. Originally established by Egbert Douwes, the brand has grown to become one of the most recognizable coffee names in Europe and the world. These specific aluminum capsules are designed for compatibility with Nespresso coffee machines, representing the brand's adaptation to modern single-serve brewing trends.

Today, Douwe Egberts is owned by JDE Peet's, a global coffee and tea powerhouse headquartered in Amsterdam. The manufacturing of these coffee capsules occurs in various specialized facilities throughout Europe, including France and the Netherlands, to meet regional demand. Ownership passed through several hands, including Sara Lee and a merger with Mondelez's coffee division, eventually consolidating under the JDE Peet's umbrella, which is largely controlled by the investment firm JAB Holding Company.
