Nescafe Azera Americano instant coffee

Nescafé Azera Americano is a premium instant coffee produced by Nestlé. The Nescafé brand itself was originally launched in Switzerland on April 1, 1938, following years of research by chemist Max Morgenthaler to help the Brazilian government find a solution for their surplus coffee production. The brand name is a portmanteau of the words 'Nestlé' and 'café'.

Nescafé Azera, a more modern 'barista-style' range, was first introduced to the UK market around 2011 to cater to consumers wanting a coffee-shop experience at home. This specific product combines soluble (instant) coffee with finely ground roasted beans to provide a more authentic aroma and a characteristic crema.

While the brand's heritage is deeply rooted in Switzerland, its production is global. For the UK and Irish markets, products are often packed and managed through Nestlé UK Ltd, with major manufacturing facilities in places like Tutbury, UK, and Orbe, Switzerland. Overall, Nestlé operates a massive network of over 300 factories worldwide to supply the more than 180 countries where Nescafé is sold. As of 2026, Nestlé remains the ultimate owner, standing as the world's largest food and beverage company.
