Nespresso Professional has introduced touchless functionalities for its Nespresso Momento eco-system to bring safer coffee moments to every office, according to a press release.

Nespresso Professional will be launching a remote control solution for all Nespresso Momento machines, where coffee drinkers will control the machine from their mobile phones thanks using a web-app. This will enable users to choose their preferred cup size and recipe directly from their phone, without touching the machine for a fully contactless experience.

Another option is automatic brewing that can be set up on Nespresso Momento machines. Coffees can be brewed without touching the screen, thanks to the Nespresso Momento capsule recognition feature. The machine will recognize the inserted capsule and brew the coffee according to the predefined cup size.

Nespresso Momento machines also offer a lock screen option to allow employees to interact with them safely. The main advantage is that each coffee drinker can disinfect the touch-screen before interacting with it.

The enhanced machine features can be complemented by single touch accessories with the new Nespresso capsules dispensers, which will be launched in November.

"The current global pandemic has disrupted many workplaces, with employees and employers looking to adapt to increased safety measures and sanitary precautions while maintaining or recreating social moments with colleagues," Kika Buhrmann, vice president B2B at Nespresso USA, said in the press release.
