Nespresso was officially launched under the auspices of the Swiss group <b>Nestl\u00e9<\/b>, with the launch of its <b>first machines and colorful capsule coffees<\/b>: <b>an espresso within everyone&#8217;s reach<\/b>, accompanied by <b>four varieties initially<\/b>: <b>Capriccio, Cosi, Bolero (now Volluto), and Decafeinato<\/b>. This moment marked the beginning of a real revolution in the world of coffee, placing portioned coffee at the center of both <b>new technology and<\/b> a <b>refined lifestyle<\/b>. The brand began distribution in its native <b>Switzerland<\/b>, as well as in <b>Japan and<\/b> <b>Italy<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In <b>1992<\/b>, Nespresso strengthened its <b>distribution network in Europe<\/b> with <b>Belgium<\/b>, <b>Luxembourg<\/b>, <b>Germany<\/b>, and the <b>Netherlands<\/b>. Four years later, the brand expanded even further with the United Kingdom, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_190817\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-190817\" style=\"width: 1080px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-190817 size-full\" title=\"ww all ol caffe florian best in cup result limited edition view espresso cup kv5 organic 4x5 rgb lock 20 xx\" src=\"https:\/\/luxus-plus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ww_all_ol_caffe_florian_best_in-cup_result_limited_edition_view_espresso_cup_kv5_organic_4x5_rgb_lock_20-xx.jpg\" alt=\"ww all ol caffe florian best in cup result limited edition view espresso cup kv5 organic 4x5 rgb lock 20 xx\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/luxus-plus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ww_all_ol_caffe_florian_best_in-cup_result_limited_edition_view_espresso_cup_kv5_organic_4x5_rgb_lock_20-xx.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/luxus-plus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ww_all_ol_caffe_florian_best_in-cup_result_limited_edition_view_espresso_cup_kv5_organic_4x5_rgb_lock_20-xx-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/luxus-plus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ww_all_ol_caffe_florian_best_in-cup_result_limited_edition_view_espresso_cup_kv5_organic_4x5_rgb_lock_20-xx-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/luxus-plus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ww_all_ol_caffe_florian_best_in-cup_result_limited_edition_view_espresso_cup_kv5_organic_4x5_rgb_lock_20-xx-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/luxus-plus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ww_all_ol_caffe_florian_best_in-cup_result_limited_edition_view_espresso_cup_kv5_organic_4x5_rgb_lock_20-xx-480x600.jpg 480w, https:\/\/luxus-plus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ww_all_ol_caffe_florian_best_in-cup_result_limited_edition_view_espresso_cup_kv5_organic_4x5_rgb_lock_20-xx-750x938.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-190817\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 Nespresso<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/magazine.luxus-plus.com\/en\/40-years-of-nespresso-when-coffee-becomes-a-way-of-life\/\">Click here to read the full article<\/a> on Luxus Magazine.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Featured photo: <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a9 <\/span>Nespresso<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2026, Nespresso will celebrate its 40th anniversary.
