Schaerer has been in business for over 125 years and was founded in 1892 by Maurice Schaerer with an official opening of a small retail shop. Initially, the company focus was on medical devices, rather than fully automatic coffee machines, with Schaerer developing operating tables, sterilisation and disinfection equipment. It wasn’t until 1924 that Schaerer developed its first high-volume coffee brewer.
Today Schaerer is committed to exploring beyond limits and leaving our mark on the coffee industry. In 1997, their revolutionary automatic cappuccino system took the world by storm, in 2007 the Schaerer Coffee Art Plus opened the door to the Schaerer Milk Universe and in 2013 they created Flavour Art, a variety of flavoured hot and cold coffee-based milk beverages.
Schaerer now has a global presence through subsidiaries in Germany, the USA and Belgium and more than 100 partners in Europe, America, Africa, Asia and the Pacific. It has been part of the WMF Group and is respected by coffee connoisseurs across the globe.
