Lockdown love of coffee leads to record Nespresso revenues

Irish sales made up 10% of total sales across Ireland and the UK last year.

The Swiss-headquartered, Nestle-owned coffee maker operates seven outlets and employs 63 staff in Ireland.

‘Lockdown consumers’ here last year helped Nespresso to brew up record Irish revenues as sales of Nespresso here soared by 34% to £28.7m (€33.5m).

Accounts for Nespresso UK Ltd show that its Irish business last year outperformed the UK business in terms of growth and recorded average weekly revenues of €645,612 here.
