1. Nescafé
Nescafé is arguably one of the most recognizable soluble powdered coffee brands in the world and was founded as the result of preserving surplus coffee beans in Brazil in the late 1920s.
Its parent company, Nestlé, took to the task, and under their coffee specialist, Max Morgenthaler, they were able to create an instant cup of coffee that was not only simple to make but kept the coffee’s natural flavor.
Nine years in the making and Nescafé was born as an ‘instant’ success.
Nescafé was launched on the 1st of April 1938 in Switzerland, served as a staple amongst soldiers from all over in the Second World War, joined Norgay and Hillary as the first to conquer Everest, and even landed on the moon with Armstrong and co.
And while the brand has never really veered much from its instant offerings, they do have a wide array of different offerings in Classic, Gold, Mixes, Ready-to-Drink, as well as its special, barista-like product called Azera.
To this day, Nescafé continues to be a firm favorite amongst millions of people thanks to its crafting convenience and great taste.

Just about anybody can be a barista, as it’s an efficient and easy way to produce high-quality espresso, without the normal amount of effort or expensive machinery required.
When inserted into a machine, the capsule gets pierced and processed, with hot water is then forced against a heating element at high pressure meaning that only the quantity for a single serving is warmed, and served straight into a cup.

More than a century’s passion has resulted in multiple blends of great-tasting coffee, international awards, and recognition as the standard setter in sustainability.

As ‘the espresso’ became a daily habit in countries that were not Italy, Nurri realized that people were getting semi-professional equipment for the home, and existing manufacturers weren’t prepared.
