A little bit about us

We are the Nestlé Nespresso SA Company and are proud to be one of the fastest growing operating units of Nestlé. Our passionate, entrepreneurial-minded team has transformed Nespresso into one of the world’s most trusted brands. Our growth comes from our commitment to research and development in order to pioneer and be the reference in the portioned coffee sector; providing the very highest quality coffees that can be enjoyed in the comfort of consumers’ own homes and out-of-home locations, such as restaurants, hotels, offices and luxury retail businesses. We guarantee quality by taking a careful, thoughtful and sustainable approach to how we produce and market our premium coffee capsules and machines.

Nespresso sources 93% of its coffee through its AAA Sustainable Quality™ Program, with almost half also certified with Rainforest Alliance or Fairtrade. Nespresso capsules are created from aluminum, an infinitely recyclable material that is recirculated into the aluminum supply chain.

Nespresso UK&ROI – a certified B Corp ™ – operates boutiques, as well as an e-Commerce platform, delivering barista-level coffee experiences of the highest quality to both at-home and professional customers across the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.
