🌱 Brand Story
Since Dr. Max Morgenthaler invented coffee powder that locked in the original aroma of coffee beans in 1938, "Nescafé" has continued relentless technological innovation with the desire to "deliver delicious coffee anytime." For over 60 years since its arrival in Japan in 1960, it has supported the development of Japanese coffee culture.
"Nescafé Espresso Base" was born from a project launched by Nestlé Global to meet the growing global demand for iced coffee. The Japan team worked persistently with the global team to propose Japan's unique coffee culture of mixing coffee with various drinks to the world. The product manager personally developed about 50 original recipes over 3 to 4 months, creating a product filled with the hope that even those who dislike coffee will "step into a new world of coffee."
