History

Capresso, Inc. was founded in 1994 to introduce the American consumer to high-end Euro-style coffeemakers.

In 2002, Capresso, Inc. entered into a joint venture to market automatic coffee centers with Jura AG of Switzerland. Jura is a Swiss developer and distributor of automatic coffee centers, which it sells in over 50 countries.

In 2008, Jura AG became the sole owner and parent of all U.S. Capresso and Jura Capresso operations.

Richard Boynton became the President of Jura Capresso in 2008. In 2011, he was named the Chairman of the Board of Directors for the International Housewares Association for the 2011/2012 term of October 2011 through September 2012.

The name “Capresso” combines “cappuccino” and “espresso.”

gollark: > The Free Land of Anrak is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.677 billion Anrakians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.
gollark: I have Notelia, my main one which also seems to have gone socialist because the game seems to like that for some reason, Anrak, where there is literally no law enforcement (but government-provided education if I remember right), and Doemokria, where I do random testing.
gollark: I mostly just answer the issues occasionally on my three nations.
gollark: Also, I use ly (it's in the AUR) as my, er, desktop manager. It's pretty nice, has a neat TUI design.
gollark: I should probably work on some of my eternally unfinished™ programming projects.
