Nescafe is a brand of coffee made by Nestle. It comes in many different forms. The name is a

in Switzerland on 1 April 1938. To date, it is a global household favorite . making it to the top

Introduction : In 1929, Nestlé was challenged to help preserve the surplus coffee beans in
Brazil that resulted from the Wall Street Crash. And Nestlé accepted the challenge.
Our coffee specialist, Max Morgenthaler, was on a mission to create a delicious cup of coffee
simply by adding water. Max and his team worked hard to find a new way to make instant coffee
that would retain the coffee’s natural flavor. In 1938, they found the answer, and NESCAFÉ was
born. Named by using the first three letters in Nestlé and suffixing it with ‘café’, NESCAFÉ
became the new name in coffee.
When we first launched NESCAFÉ in Switzerland on 1 April 1938, it was predicted to be a huge
success. But then WWII started in 1939. During the war, NESCAFÉ was a staple in the food
rations of the US forces, and they loved it. Quick, easy and delicious coffee.
After the war, NESCAFÉ was exported to France, Great Britain and the US, and the American
troops became our brand ambassadors, spreading their love of NESCAFÉ.
During the rest of the 1940s, the popularity of NESCAFÉ grew. Today, NESCAFÉ is enjoyed in over
180 countries and has become the world’s favorite coffee.
To The Moon and Back.

History of Nescafé: Back in the year 1930, the coffee giant was formed and it started off
from an idea. Nestlé, a leader in FMCG industry was asked to help in figuring out how to
increase the consumption of coffee and how to decrease the excess supply of coffee production
from Brazil by a group of Brazilian bankers.
The Initial Days
By the end of 1920, the cost of coffee was at absolute bottom and espresso was at times just
adequate to be utilized as fuel. The Brazilian financiers needed a famous coffee to be built up so
that it could be available at places where a cup of coffee is not available that easily.
From this, the concept of soluble coffee as blocks, or tablets started. This idea was meant to
support sales without hurting the conventional type of coffee usage and the end objective was
to make the coffee production famous and popular.
