unstoppable drive for machine innovation © Nestlé Nespresso SA, Corporate Communications, May 2016 For more information on Nespresso, please visit: www.nestle-nespresso.com Nespresso has reinvented coffee machines and the way coffee is prepared with a range of smartly designed and easy-to-use machines. Nespresso machines are specifically developed to complement and enhance the aroma, crema and flavour of Nespresso Grand Cru coffees. The evolution of the Nespresso system and the distinctive design of our machines have been the backbone of this focus. The Nespresso system – the interaction between the Nespresso machine and the Nespresso capsule – enables us to control every variable in order to produce perfect coffee, cup after cup. Innovation is not new for us. Since 1986, when we introduced our first machine, we have been constantly reinventing how consumers experience their coffee. We continue to spearhead machine innovations, offering ever more convenience and ease of use for consumers. Our innovations and cutting-edge designs have continually reinvented the coffee machine and, quite appropriately, have been recognised with successive design awards, including :  11 prestigious Red Dot Design Awards  2 iF Product Design Awards  4 Good Design Awards (update) Nespresso is reinventing coffee machines for over 30 years. In 2014, Nespresso launched VertuoLine, an innovative system based on Centrifusion technology in the US and Canada catering to North American preferences for large-cup coffees. It is the second most important innovation of Nespresso since the invention of portioned coffee. We design and manufacture all Nespresso coffee machines in collaboration with our machine partners, allowing us to build the patented extraction and brewing unit to manage the interplay of all factors. Through more than 30 years of continuous innovation, our in-house Innovation and Development team has obtained a large portfolio of patents. Nespresso machines reflect contemporary designs, which continue to evolve. The initial Nespresso machine resembled a mini version of a professional espresso machine, while today we offer a range of machines based on fresh and revolutionary designs, which fit into any environment. With its tiny and compact footprint no space is off limits for this machine whose simplicity and fun colours are guaranteed to spark an emotional bond. This charming machine, inspired by fun, clever and highly functioning design articles, represents simplicity at its best. Suiting all tastes, Inissia’s young and playful colour palette fits into any fashionable surrounds. Streamlined for maximum efficiency, Inissia lives up to the Nespresso reputation for high-end technology. The Lattissima Pro was designed to make coffee experiences as easy as the push of a button. The intuitive touchscreen panel features seven pre-programmed settings for: Espresso, Ristretto, Lungo, Cappuccino, Latte Macchiato, hot milk and hot water. With the revolutionary milk froth technological advancements of Lattissima Pro, Nespresso has mastered the art of pairing the highest quality coffee with the perfect quality of milk froth. The new VertuoLine is an intelligent and innovative single-serve system delivering both large-cup coffee and espresso thanks to Centrifusion technology.
