The birth of coffee capsules and market prospects.
The story of the birth of coffee capsules
The concept of coffee capsules was born in 1976, dedicated to capsule coffee machines. Under the leadership of Eric Favre, Nestlé launched Nespresso, the world’s first coffee capsule product. As a coffee connoisseur, Eric Favre visited countless cafes in Italy and tasted thousands of different flavors of espresso coffee. He found different ways for the boss to make espresso at a coffee shop in Rome called Sant’ Eustachio. When he operated the espresso machine, he often pulled the handle because he thought the machine was malfunctioning, causing a large amount of compressed gas to enter the cup. Therefore, he was inspired to develop the coffee capsule products that people see today.
In 1986, Nestlé officially independent of its coffee capsule division, Nespresso SA was formally established, and the inventor/founder Eric Favre became CEO. In 1989, Eric Favre left Nestlé and established his own independent coffee capsule company MONODOR, hoping to maximize his life-long work on coffee technology. In 2000, began to cooperate with LAVAZZA to promote its coffee capsule technology and products.
Coffee capsule
The name of coffee capsule is translated from the English name. The English meaning of capsule is capsule. Although it is a drink, it has a name like medicine. However, the name does vividly reflect the characteristics of coffee capsules. Like medicinal capsules, the gum packaging contains powdery substances.
The advantage of coffee capsules is that because the texture of the capsule wall is relatively hard, the prototype can be well maintained at high temperature, so high-pressure steam can be injected into the capsule, so that the coffee can completely precipitate the crema, that is, coffee fat, under the action of pressure. Strong espresso, this can better ensure the aroma of the coffee. At the same time, the quality of each cup of coffee made can be basically the same.
The main brands of coffee capsules are: Nestlé’s Nespresso, JDE Zhenyin’s TASSIMO, K-cup, Italy’s Oro, Lavazza, Monodor, Gaggia’s ecaffe, and Korean’s Allcream.
