There is no catch! Nespresso Machine Plan is an easy and flexible way to enjoy all that Nespresso has to offer, plus, own a coffee machine for just $1 with 12 monthly purchases of Nespresso credits when you select a machine plan.

When you sign up for a Nespresso Machine Plan, your monthly payments earn you Nespresso credits. Dollar for Dollar. You earn credits every month as soon as you make the monthly payment. The credits are automatically added to your Nespresso account.

Whether you want to spend it every month, or prefer to save up to order more later, the choice is yours. You can check your Nespresso credit balance any time by logging into your Nespresso.com account, by calling Nespresso Customer Service or visiting your nearest Nespresso Boutique.

When or how you decide to use your credit is up to you. If you don't use it entirely in the month you earn them, the credits will accumulate in your Nespresso account and you can use them to buy anything anytime. Your credits don’t expire!

Should you decide that the Nespresso Machine Plan is not for you anymore, you can cancel it at any time by calling our Customer Service. If you cancel your subscription within the first 14 days of receiving your coffee machine, you’ll return the machine and anything else that you have ordered with your credits; there is no shipping charge. If you cancel after the first 14 days, the relevant cancellation fee depending on the timing of your cancellation will be charged.  See Cancellation After Cooling Off Period in the terms and conditions.

Whether you are new to Nespresso or a long-time Nespresso coffee lover, you can sign up for one of the Nespresso Machine Plans, so long as you are at least 18 years of age and a legal U.S. resident with a shipping address in the 50 United States,  the District of Columbia, or Puerto Rico.  Sorry, no P.O. boxes.

If you cancel your Nespresso Machine Plan, the credits will be available on your account. They never expire.

Once you choose a machine plan and checkout with it along with the first month’s payment for credits and $1, we’ll send you your machine.  If you cancel, you’ll be subject to the appropriate cancellation fee, but the machine is yours to keep.  Please refer to the machine plan terms and conditions for more information. 

Yes. Nespresso Coffees are compliant with the Muslim and Jewish religious requirements, and are thus halal and kosher certified, respectively.

In keeping with kosher certification, the Coffees without flavors are “Passover” certified. Coffees with flavors are ”Parve” certified.

There are ten capsules per sleeve. The quantities online are shown in capsules, and must be selected in a multiple of ten.

Nespresso capsules do not contain common food allergens, including dairy, gluten, nuts, soy, and eggs.

In the case of our permanent, flavored blends, flavor may be derived from the mentioned food source (i.e., vanilla, cocoa, caramel) in addition to containing other natural extracts. No coffees contains pieces of actual ingredient.

Other mentions (i.e., “malt”, “chocolate”) are descriptors of the aromatic profile of the coffee and do not infer their presence in the coffee or capsule.

The aromas in the flavors used are extracted from natural sources.

None of our coffees contain any GMOs. The quality and consistency of our coffee in the cup and its exquisite crema are the result of the highest quality coffee we source, the way we manage the quality during the whole production process, and the unique interaction between our capsules and machines. 

Nespresso coffees are very low in calories, with less than 2 calories per cup.

There is no BPA or other types of Bisphenols in Nespresso capsules. Our capsules are fully compliant with applicable regulations on materials intended to come into contact with food (EU, FDA, etc). 

We do not offer syrups or any other additions for the coffee at this time.

Please click here to view the prices of the capsules that are currently available, including any Limited Editions.

The price of the Nespresso VertuoLine reflects the innovative technology and the versatility that the machine offers in brewing multiple coffee preparations / varieties with the same, high quality in cup result.

The sophisticated VertuoLine capsules incorporate new technology, including a bar code on each capsule, which facilitates a product intelligent extraction system, allowing the machine to recognize each expertly developed coffee.

The crema is part of the coffee character and as each coffee preparation is different, the crema also differs between the coffees. The crema of OriginalLine Espresso and Lungo is dense and creamy, while the crema from the VertuoLine is more rich and generous.

Nespresso is known for innovation and new product development, continuously seeking to offer Club Members new experiences. We have created several new VertuoLine blends since the launch of the system and will continue to expand the range in the future.

The layer that forms on top of each brewed coffee is a combination of coffee and air called the crema, and is naturally created during the extraction process. Crema is a sign of high quality coffee, and has been a signature feature of our espresso. It does not contain any dairy or additives and will gradually subside as you enjoy your coffee.

As each blend brews according to its own unique parameters, there is no way to adjust the amount of crema that forms.

With all VertuoLine Coffees and Altos, we recommend folding in the crema before drinking. This releases the aromas, alters the texture, and mixes the layers to create a unique and flavorful beverage.

The caffeine content per brewed capsule will vary between approximately 60 and 150 mg for the espressos. Double Espressos contain less than 200 mg. The Gran Lungo capsules contain between 120 and 200 mg of caffeine. Our Coffee and Alto capsules contain 130 to 200 mg of caffeine per cup. The Half Caffeinato blend contains approximately 90 mg of caffeine. Finally, the decaffeinated blends contain no more than 12 mg of caffeine.

The variation in the amount of caffeine depends mainly on the green coffee (Robusta contains roughly twice as much caffeine as Arabica), the amount of ground coffee in the capsule, the degree of roasting, and to a lesser extent, the coffee origin. There is no correlation between the assigned "intensity" and caffeine content.

Nespresso is known for innovation and new product development, continuously seeking to offer Club Members new experiences. We have created several new VertuoLine Limited Editions since the launch of the system and will continue to offer Limited Editions in the future.

Each blend is specifically created (strict bean selection, expert blending, roasting and grinding) for the best interplay and harmony with the extraction parameters produced by the VertuoLine machines. As these parameters differ from those of the OriginalLine, it makes sense that the blends are different as well.

Yes, the Alto capsules are compatible with all VertuoLine machines. The machine will read the barcode on the capsule and automatically adjust the brew size.

No other capsule material that we have examined can protect the freshness and aromas of our coffees, while interacting with our machines in such a way as to consistently produce the high-quality coffee that our consumers have come to expect.

In addition, aluminum has the unique advantage of being infinitely recyclable. The use of aluminum also allows us to eliminate the need for any additional packaging or overwrap to protect freshness, and its light weight offers transportation and environmental savings when compared to other materials.

Within the capsule, the coffee is separated from the aluminum by a food-grade lacquer.

Each blend is specifically created (strict bean selection, expert blending, roasting and grinding) for the best interplay and harmony with the brewing parameters produced by the VertuoLine machines. As these parameters differ from those of the OriginalLine, it makes sense that the blends are different as well.

Please click here to view the prices of the capsules that are currently available, including any Limited Editions.

All coffees are relatively low in physical acidity; the physical acidity is not the same as the acidity perceived by taste buds.

The Nespresso Coffees have an average pH level of 5.0. There is no specific high- or low-level acid coffee in our range.

Our Limited Editions are no longer available once they have sold out, as they are conceived as a single crop, yielding a finite supply. 

Nespresso introduces new Limited Edition coffees each year. Please visit us online, on Facebook or on Twitter for updates.

The caffeine content per brewed Espresso capsule will vary between approximately 55 and 65 mg (with the exception of Kazaar, which has approximately 125 mg). The Lungo blends contain 20% more coffee per capsule; therefore, they have slightly higher caffeine content, about 77-85 mg.

Nespresso capsules do not contain any preservatives. The coffee is kept fresh by being hermetically sealed in aluminum capsules, which offer an impermeable barrier to light, moisture, and oxygen.

Nespresso removes over 99.9% of the caffeine from green coffee by using two different methods. In the water decaffeination process, green coffee beans are soaked in hot water in order to dissolve the caffeine. In the carbon dioxide method, the green coffee is soaked in water after which carbon dioxide (one of the key constituents of air) is used to extract the caffeine.

Both methods are completely safe for coffee drinkers. The processes respect the environment and the coffee bean’s true nature, allowing us to maintain the strength, variety, and richness of the aromas. The decaffeinated Nespresso varieties undergo the same quality controls applied to all Nespresso Coffees.

The residual caffeine content in Nespresso decaffeinated blends is below 0.1%, in accordance with all regulatory requirements.

Nespresso capsules are hermetically sealed; protected from light, moisture and oxygen. At the end of every sleeve you will find both the "Production date" and the “Best before” date.  The "Best before" date is approximately 8-11 months from the date of production. We guarantee that you receive your capsules at least two months before this date. As the date simply acts as an indicator of optimal freshness, flavor and aroma, unopened capsules are completely safe to consume after the "Best before" date.

Yes, we offer three flavored coffees each as part of our VertuoLine and OriginalLine ranges.

In addition, our flavored Holiday Limited Editions are exquisitely designed using all-naturally extracted ingredients, with no added sugars or preservatives. We offer new, unique blends each year.

Nespresso does not have any plans to add tea or hot chocolate capsules to our selection. We offer Limited Edition and flavor-infused Variations throughout the year.

Our foremost priority is sourcing the highest quality coffee beans and providing exquisitely unique Coffee and Espresso to our members worldwide. In addition, Nespresso machines are carefully calibrated to produce the perfect cup of coffee, time after time. They would not be ideal for steeping tea or making hot chocolate.

You can view, test, and purchase machines at any Nespresso Boutique or our authorized retailers. 

Nespresso VertuoLine is a completely separate system from Nespresso OriginalLine. The VertuoLine machines are based on our unique Centrifusion™ technology, an intelligent brewing system that allows the machine to recognize the capsule and create a perfect cup of coffee according to the specific parameters of each blend. Due to this new technology and the difference in size, shape, and design of the VertuoLine capsules, they will not work in any of our OriginalLine machines, and vice-versa.

Nespresso also improved the OriginalLine capsules in July 2008 to help ensure the best freshness, flavor and aroma of the espresso. All OriginalLine machines made after August 2009 are designed to work exclusively with these new capsules. Older capsules cannot be punctured by newer machines; therefore only water will flow through the spout.

Each blend is designed to brew to a specific cup size to guarantee the best in-cup result. Our Alto and Carafe capsules are designed to brew to a larger cup size.

Alto capsules are designed to brew 14oz. However, the machine enables brewing up to 17 ounces.

Our Carafe capsules are designed to brew 18oz. These capsules can be programmed to brew up to 34oz.   

Machine Assistance page for your machine or call our Machine Specialists via our toll-free number, 1-877-964-6299. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Spare parts can be ordered by calling the Nespresso Club at 800.562.1465. They are not available online or at Nespresso Boutiques. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Nespresso machines do not have a manual temperature control (with the exception of the Expert model). If you have noticed a decrease in temperature over time, please descale your machine. We recommend descaling every 3 months or 300 capsules (whichever comes first).

For further assistance, please call our Machine Specialists via our toll-free number: 877.964.6299 for VertuoLine/800.562.1465 for OriginalLine. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

When brewing an Espresso capsule it is not recommended to run more than 1.35 oz/40 ml through any one capsule as this will result in negative (bitter) aromas in the cup, known as "over-extraction". If you are interested in a larger cup of coffee but not necessarily a stronger one, we encourage you to try an Americano, which is an espresso shot with hot water added (eject the capsule and brew a "blank" shot).

Furthermore, you may try our Lungo range. Lungo, which translates to "long" in Italian, refers to a style of espresso which is larger than the traditional 1.35 oz/40 ml size. Our Lungos contain 20-25% more ground coffee. You can thus brew a taller cup of espresso with a single capsule. A traditional lungo is poured to 3.75 oz/110 ml. Lungos are also recommended if you are looking for a more substantial amount of coffee.

Most OriginalLine machines can be reprogrammed to brew to your preferences. Please refer to your User Manual or the Machine Assistance page for your machine, or call our Machine Specialists via our toll-free number, 800.562.1465. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The VertuoPlus, and VertuoPlus Deluxe machines are equipped with a descaling alert. Although the alert is described as half red and half green in your machine's user manual, the green light can appear to be yellow under certain conditions.

We recommend descaling your machine every 3 months or 300 capsules, whichever comes first. Over time, water used during brewing may cause internal mineral build up, which can affect the flow, temperature and overall performance of your machine. 

You may purchase a Descaling Kit online, by phone, or in any Nespresso Boutique. One kit contains enough descaling solution for two cleanings.

Please refer to the factory reset instructions in your User Manual or the Machine Assistance page for your machine, or call our Machine Specialists via our toll-free number: 877.964.6299 for VertuoLine/800.562.1465 for OriginalLine. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Please follow these steps:

1. Login to your Nespresso.com account, then click here and delete the Expert from your registered machines.
2. Factory reset the machine (refer to the user manual for instructions).
3. Unplug the machine for ten seconds, then plug it back in.
4. Go to your phone Bluetooth settings and unpair the machine if present. (Click here for iOS instructions or here for Android instructions.)
5. Turn the phone off and on again.
6. Uninstall the Nespresso app from the phone and reinstall it from the App Store or Google Play Store.
7. Attempt pairing again.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please call our toll-free number, 800-562-1465. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Nespresso recommends you descale your machine on a regular basis, every 3 months or every 300 capsules (whichever comes first). Over time, water used during brewing may cause internal mineral build up, which can affect the flow, temperature and overall performance of your machine.

Each Descaling Kit contains two packs of solution and costs $8.95. Descaling Kits are available for purchase by toll-free phone or online via this link.

View our Machine Assistance page for how-to videos and instructions.

Your machine may have an air bubble. Air bubbles can block the flow of water through the spout. They usually occur if the machine is operated without water in the tank or has not been used for a long period.

Eject any capsule, ensure there is water in the tank, and then follow the troubleshooting tips below.

• For machines with two outlets (meaning a coffee outlet, and a hot water/steam outlet) alternate between activating the Lungo (large cup)function and activating the steam/hot water function until water flows from either outlet. Please be persistent; this might take a few tries. 
• For all other OriginalLine machines, activate the Lungo (large cup) function, allow it to complete the cycle, then press again. Repeat until water flows from the spout. Please be persistent; this might take a few tries.
• For VertuoLine machines, follow the Cleaning instructions in your User Manual. Please be persistent; this might take a few tries.

For further assistance, please call our Machine Specialists via our toll-free number: 877.964.6299 for VertuoLine/800.562.1465 for OriginalLine. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Please note: The Nespresso warranty does not cover use on any voltage other than what is specified on the bottom of the machine or other countries with identical voltage specifications.

The Nespresso machine range is specifically designed to meet precise power regulations for each geographical region. The machines sold for North America operate on 120V, 60Hz, with plug types A.C. only. When using a machine with these specifications in another country, or vise versa, there is no guarantee that it will operate properly, even with a power convertor or transformer. Machines can be irreparably damaged when used in foreign countries. Repairs are also not available for machines purchased in a foreign market.

It is normal for water to collect in a machine’s drip tray and capsule container during brewing.  Brewing a taller cup of coffee or multiple cups in a short period of time will fill the tray quicker. You will also find a higher quantity of water accumulates when the pump is activated without a capsule in the chamber. 

You can follow the tips below to prevent your Aeroccino from overflowing:

• Remember there are two maximum fill lines. Fill the milk no higher than the bottom maximum fill line when you use the frothing whisk (the whisk with the coil). Fill the milk no higher than the top maximum fill line when you use the hot milk whisk (the whisk without the coil).
• Experiment with different brands and types of milk. While any type of milk in Nespresso may be used in your Aeroccino, the froth results will depend on the protein content of the milk used and are not always guaranteed for milk alternatives. 
• For best results, ensure that you are using ice-cold milk, and that the frother has been thoroughly cleaned out and cooled down between uses.

For further assistance, please call our Machine Specialists via our toll-free number: 877.964.6299 for VertuoLine/800.562.1465 for OriginalLine. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Froth results will vary based on the variety, origin, and freshness of the milk. Please follow these troubleshooting tips:

• Ensure you are using the whisk with the metal coil to create more froth.
• Between uses, rinse the Aeroccino with cold, running water.
  • If not fully cooled down, the device will overheat (as indicated by a blinking red light) and will not run for the correct length of time.
• Experiment with different milks.
  • Different brands and types of milk will produce different qualities of froth.
  • Milk quality fluctuates throughout the year, thus results can vary from season to season and even from carton to carton.
  • We find that UHT (Ultra High Temperature) milk produces very consistent froth.
• Use fresh, cold milk from a newly opened container (no more than 3 days old).
  • Milk proteins break down rapidly after exposure to light and oxygen, decreasing its ability to froth.
  • The proteins will also settle to the bottom of the container over time. Shake the container to redistribute them before pouring the milk into the Aeroccino.

For further assistance, please call our Machine Specialists via our toll-free number: 877.964.6299 for VertuoLine/800.562.1465 for OriginalLine. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Your Aeroccino may be overheating if the light is blinking before the frothing cycle is complete. Rinse the Aeroccino between uses with cold, running water. If it is not fully cooled down, the frother will overheat, indicated by the blinking red light, and will not run for the correct length of time.

For further assistance, please call our Machine Specialists via our toll-free number: 877.964.6299 for VertuoLine/800.562.1465 for OriginalLine. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The Aeroccino+, Aeroccino3, and Aeroccino4 models have hot and cold frothing functions. For the Aeroccino4, choose a red button for hot milk preparations. For the Aeroccino+ and Aeroccino3, when the power button is pressed and released it will illuminate red to heat the milk. When the power button is held down for 2 seconds, it will illuminate blue to maintain the milk’s cool temperature.

Furthermore, all Aeroccinos are temperature-sensitive devices. The Aeroccino must be allowed to shut off automatically. Lifting the device off of the base too early will result in insufficiently heated milk.

Between uses, your Aeroccino should be rinsed out with cold, running water, until it is cool to the touch. If not sufficiently cooled down, the device may overheat causing the correct length of time to be cut short.

For further assistance, please call our Machine Specialists via our toll-free number: 877.964.6299 for VertuoLine/800.562.1465 for OriginalLine. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Like all machine spare parts, Aeroccino whisks and lids can be purchased directly from the Nespresso Club via our toll-free number, 800.562.1465. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

For stubborn burn marks, fill the Aeroccino part-way with warm, soapy water and allow to soak to loosen the residue.

You can prevent future burn marks inside your Aeroccino by following these easy cleaning tips:

• Make sure your Aeroccino is cold to the touch before using. It's best to rinse it with cold water in between usage.
• Use soap and cold water to clean the frother and wipe the inside of the jug with a damp, non-abrasive sponge or paper towel to remove milk residue. Remaining milk residue can cause burn marks when you use the Aeroccino again.
• Keep the whisks clean to ensure proper rotation and circulation of heat.

Club Members may return capsules to any Nespresso Boutique or Recycling Collection Point at participating retailers, or through the UPS mail-in program. Click here to add a complimentary UPS Recycling Bag to your order. This link may also be found under the “Accessories” tab on the website. The UPS program will be extended to Club Members in Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico in the future.

Each UPS Recycling Bag will come with a prepaid UPS shipping label. Once filled with used capsules, simply drop the bags off at any UPS drop-off point.

As of November 2019, residents of New York City are now able to recycle their Nespresso coffee capsules through the City's curbside recycling program, as they do water bottles, soda cans and other recyclable materials. 

Club Members in the five boroughs of New York City (Brooklyn, Bronx, Manhattan, Staten Island and Queens) no longer need to use Nespresso recycling bags to send back used capsules. Now, they can simply place their capsules in their recycling bin and place it in the appropriate location for pick up at their residence, as they do with other household recyclable materials.

We have defined our ten-year growth strategy, building on the principle that coffee can be a force for good, for both humans and for nature. We will remain at the forefront of the coffee industry with exceptional coffees crafted with extreme care and creativity, while also creating positive impact for the coffee farmers we work with, the communities we operate in and the environment.

As part of our sustainability strategy, we are committing to achieving carbon neutrality by 2022.

Immediate initiatives to reduce our carbon emissions include:

• Sustainable energy usage within the Nespresso value chain: A focus on energy efficiency across Nespresso operations, including a move towards 100% renewable energy in all Nespresso boutiques and increasing the use of biogas within the manufacturing process.
  
  
• Increased circularity of Nespresso products and packaging: Strengthening the circularity of Nespresso products by increasing the use of recycled and low carbon virgin aluminium within coffee capsules. In May 2020, Nespresso launched capsules made using 80% recycled aluminium, and is committed to increasing this percentage further. New 100% recyclable machine packaging made of 95% recycled cardboard was also launched earlier this year.
  
  
• Innovation in machine design: Innovation in machine design, machine energy efficiency and increasing the use of recycled plastic within Nespresso machines.

This carbon neutral commitment is part of a broader sustainability vision that will be further communicated later in 2020. It will include our approach to preserving exceptional coffees, building a resilient and regenerative coffee agriculture for Nespresso and the communities the business operates within, driving sustainable livelihoods for farmers, and building a circular business.

We look forward to sharing more about our strategy in the coming months to ensure that every cup of Nespresso coffee has a positive impact.

Since 2014, Nespresso has led the coffee industry’s sustainable agenda through The Positive Cup, a program that encapsulates its sustainability vision that every cup of coffee has a positive impact on the world. This newly announced roadmap builds fully on this foundation, taking former commitments to lower our carbon emissions and have a positive impact on the world further than ever before. In the coming months, we will be sharing details of our broader sustainability vision that will include our approach to preserving exceptional coffees, building a resilient and regenerative coffee agriculture for Nespresso and the communities the business operates within, driving sustainable livelihoods for farmers, and building a circular business. 

Nespresso will achieve carbon neutrality through the following initiatives: the reduction of carbon emission; the planting of trees in and around coffee farms where Nespresso sources its coffee (insetting); and through support and investment in high quality offsetting projects.

Carbon emission reduction: A crucial element of Nespresso’s vision is to decarbonize its value chain. These immediate initiatives include:

• Sustainable energy usage within Nespresso’s operations: Driving towards 100% renewable energy in all Nespresso boutiques and increasing the use of biogas within the manufacturing process.
• Expanded circularity of Nespresso products and packaging: Increasing the use of recycled plastic within Nespresso machines, as well as of recycled and low carbon virgin aluminium within coffee capsules.
  
  

Planting trees in coffee farms and the surrounding landscapes (insetting): Trees are the best way to capture carbon from the atmosphere while investing in nature and building a regenerative agricultural system. Planting trees provides the shade needed to improve the quality and quantity of a coffee harvest. The roots also help protect against soil erosion and landslides and promote soil regeneration. With its partner Pur Projet, Nespresso will triple the capacity of planting trees (with insetting) in coffee producing countries such as Colombia, Guatemala, Ethiopia and Costa Rica.

Accelerate to make an immediate positive impact (offsetting initiatives): Nespresso will also invest in projects to support forest conservation and restoration as well as implement clean energy solutions within farming communities.

Yes, our factories have been 100% powered by renewable energy sources since 2017 and a portion of our boutiques have been powered by renewable energy since 2018.

Earlier this year we launched our first organic coffee, Kahawa ya Congo, and we look forward to offering more organic options in the future.

In addition to this, we do offer coffee sourced from our AAA Sustainable Quality™ Program. The aim of this program, created in collaboration with the Rainforest Alliance in 2003, is to improve the growing practices of the farms from which the highest quality coffees are cultivated.

We believe that other dimensions of coffee production (e.g. economic and social aspects) are equally as important to producers, their communities and the future development of their farms.

The AAA Program incorporates the “Tool for the Assessment of Sustainable Quality” (TASQ™). TASQ categorizes and assesses each farm in order to determine how to improve the quality of the final coffee product and the socio-economic well-being of the farmers themselves. We are proud to say that we currently source over 90% of our coffee from the AAA program, and we are dedicated to increasing that percentage in the future.

For further information regarding our sustainability approach, please click here.

The Nespresso AAA Sustainable Quality™ Program differs from Fair Trade in that it seeks to find a long-term balance between highest quality - which is the primary basis for the selection of our coffees - and social, environmental, and economic criteria. This program has been developed in close collaboration with the leading non-governmental organization, Rainforest Alliance.

Nespresso has been committed to ensuring that the communities of coffee farmers that produce the highest-quality coffees for us benefit from the excellence of their crop. The AAA premium that Nespresso pays participating farmers is roughly 30-40% above the standard market price for coffee and 10-15% above coffees of similar quality. The program is about more than paying a premium; it is about building a long term relationship with coffee farmers.

Yes, and we will be sharing more information on this in due course.

The regions where we source coffees are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Extreme temperature fluctuations, heavy rainfall and droughts pose serious risks to coffee crops. What’s more, they can exacerbate pests and disease. Through sustainable coffee farming practices fostered in programs like the Nespresso AAA Sustainable Quality™ Program, we are supporting farmers to reduce the environmental impact of coffee farming and safeguard their land for the future. Coffee producers receive training and technical assistance that encourage the adoption of good agricultural practices. These include guidance on using the appropriate amount of fertiliser and managing wastewater after milling.

We also promote biodiversity and healthy ecosystems through agroforestry, which further improves soil quality, regulates temperatures and protects against soil erosion. Planting trees in and around coffee farms helps communities build resilience by providing a layer of insulation that keeps ground temperatures more stable while trees’ roots hold the earth intact during heavy rains, preventing land erosion. They also sequester carbon, which contributes to balancing emissions. The carbon sequestration of the planted trees helps to further mitigate the footprint of every cup of Nespresso coffee.
