Nespresso Celebrates 40 Years of Iconic Coffee Innovation

When passion meets precision, something timeless is created. In 2026, Nespresso celebrates 40 years of iconic coffee innovation, marking four decades of redefining how the world experiences coffee—one capsule, one ritual, one perfect cup at a time. From its earliest days to its latest limited-edition creations, Nespresso’s journey has been shaped by an unwavering belief: when you truly love something, you never stop elevating it.


Founded in 1986 with a bold yet simple ambition—to bring the perfect Italian espresso from the café into the home—Nespresso ignited a revolution that continues to shape modern coffee culture today. What began as an idea rooted in craftsmanship has evolved into a global symbol of taste, style, and innovation, co-created alongside coffee lovers around the world.


Four Decades of Reinventing Coffee Culture


Since its inception, Nespresso has stood at the intersection of heritage and progress. Over the years, the brand has reimagined not just how coffee is brewed, but how it is enjoyed, across moments, moods, and lifestyles. From short, intense espressos to long cups, iced recipes, and café-style creations, coffee today looks vastly different from what it was in 1986.


Collections such as Ispirazione Italiana pay homage to the artistry and regional traditions of Italian coffee craftsmanship, proving that timeless flavor profiles never go out of style.


At the same time, refined innovations like Caffè Florian reflect Nespresso’s ability to reinterpret heritage through a contemporary lens, blending history with modern sophistication.


Every capsule tells a story—of origin, aroma, balance, and crema, crafted to elevate everyday moments, whether at home, on the go, or shared with others.


Vertuo: Expanding the Horizon of

Coffee Experiences


As coffee culture continues to evolve, Vertuo has emerged as one of Nespresso’s most dynamic systems. Designed for versatility, Vertuo expands the coffee experience beyond espresso, offering blends tailored for long cups, traditional pots, and iced recipes.


Each year, limited-edition releases showcase the brand’s creative ambition, pushing the boundaries of texture, flavor, and presentation. These seasonal and exclusive creations invite coffee lovers to explore new expressions of taste—transforming coffee from a routine into a journey of discovery.


This spirit of experimentation reinforces why Nespresso celebrates 40 years of iconic coffee innovation not as a milestone, but as a continuing evolution.




Limited-Edition Coffees Honoring 40 Years of Excellence


At the heart of renewal lies craftsmanship. To mark its 40th anniversary, Nespresso highlights iconic blends and inspired creations that reflect both legacy and forward-thinking expertise.


Caffè Florian: A Tribute to Timeless Elegance


Inspired by one of Venice’s most legendary cafés, founded in 1720, Caffè Florian is a refined blend that pays homage to cultural sophistication and artistic heritage. Crafted from 100% Arabica beans, this elegant coffee reveals bold cocoa notes layered with hints of nuts and warm brown spices.


Each sip echoes the literary and artistic spirit that once made Café Florian a gathering place for creative minds, now reimagined for today’s discerning coffee lovers.
