Founded in 1994 by small appliance veteran Michael Kramm, Capresso was established to introduce American consumers to high-end, European-style coffee equipment. The brand name itself is a portmanteau of "cappuccino" and "espresso," reflecting its core focus on specialty coffee preparation. In 2008, Capresso was fully acquired by Jura AG, a Swiss developer of automatic coffee centers, which further integrated Swiss engineering precision into the brand's product lines.
