The Story Behind the Nescafé
Nescafé was created by Swiss food giant Nestlé in 1938 after eight years of research into how to preserve coffee at scale. The breakthrough was a spray drying process that preserved the flavour compounds while removing the water; today Nescafé is the world's most consumed instant coffee, drunk in over 180 countries.
