TURIN, Italy – Caffè Vergnano, the oldest Italian roasting company, is shaking up the coffee market with the launch of Èspresso1882, the first range of compostable capsules compatible with OriginaLine machines by Nespresso*.
The Italian company showcased its innovative product line at the Winter Fancy Food Show January 22-24 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.
Visitors had the opportunity to discover and taste the authentic Espresso Italiano inside Caffe Vergnano US supplier Atalanta’s pavilion (South Hall, Booth #4619 & 4623)
The whole new capsules combine the Italian know-how in roasting and blending coffee with sustainable technology.
The Èspresso1882 compostable range is the result of careful research following Caffè Vergnano’s commitment to the eco-sustainability and a concrete answer to the amount of waste deriving from the growing consumption of portioned coffee.
