Every drop
can make a big
difference
Nespresso machines use the precise amount of coffee, water and energy needed to brew each and every cup of coffee. Being exact can reduce waste and minimize our carbon footprint.
Since 2009, our machines turn off within 9 minutes to avoid wasting electricity.
Our machines use the exact amount of water needed for a single cup to prevent wasting water.
