The art of espresso by Nespresso

More than 20 years ago, Nespresso developed and patented a system for mastering the preparation of espresso, from the selection of the finest green coffee beans through to the moment of tasting. The espresso is a complex alchemy between coffee of exceptional quality and freshness, and water at high pressure. It is these elements which give the coffee body and intensity, and reveal all the subtleties of the aroma. Coffee, machine and the club are the inseparable components of the exclusive Nespresso experience, which allows you to prepare a perfect espresso, cup after cup, time after time, in the comfort of your own home.

The machine

All Nespresso machines are equipped with a patented extraction system that guarantees up to 19 bar pressure. Each element - water pressure, temperature and extraction duration - has been calculated with great precision. This ensures the aromas from each Grand Cru coffee are expressed, giving the coffee body and creating an exceptionally thick and smooth crema.

The Pixie is the smallest Nespresso machine, and features a host of innovative and practical features. The Pixie is fast, with a heat up time of only 25 seconds, so you can enjoy your Grand Cru coffee without having to wait. The machine is easy to use and intuitive, featuring water level detection in the 0.7L removable water tank. Interactive lights can be seen through the capsule container so you know when the water level is low. The Pixie requires less descaling than ever before and has convenient cable storage. It is also environmentally aware, with recycled aluminium side panels and an energy saving auto power off which activates after nine minutes. In stylish dark brown, the Pixie is sure to make a statement in any kitchen.

The coffee

The hermetically-sealed aluminium capsules provide the optimum conditions to preserve and prevent oxidation of the 900 extremely volatile and sensitive aromas found in freshly-ground coffee. Simple in appearance, the capsule is the subject of continual technical improvement to optimise the machine’s extraction of the coffee. Nespresso offers 16 Grand Cru coffee varieties, some of the finest in the world. Products of Nespresso Coffee Experts’ experience and inspiration, they come from diverse origins and offer a variety of aromas.

To achieve quality espresso, Nespresso Coffee Experts travel the world searching for only the finest green coffee beans, which offer the most exciting aromatic profiles. Nespresso then creates a blend from each of the varieties of beans, and develops a specific roasting and grinding profile.

The club

When you buy a Nespresso machine, you become a member of the Nespresso Club for connoisseurs, where you order your Grand Cru capsules. The club offers you numerous privileges, including personalised contacts with Nespresso and its Coffee Specialists, who understand and appreciate the secrets of coffee. The club combines exclusive benefits and the expert knowledge and advice of the Specialists with practical services to assist you. Whether you contact the Coffee Specialists by phone, or in one of Nespresso's boutiques, they can answer all of your questions. The Assistance Service is exclusive to the Nespresso Club. The Nespresso commitment to sustainability Nespresso has a recycling initiative for its capsules as part of a program called Ecolaboration. The Nespresso Ecolaboration program sets out the company's commitment to sustainable development and enables it to make improvements and create initiatives across all its activities.
