Our capsules are compatible with the following Nespresso® machines:
Citiz, Lattisima, Lattisima, Premium, Lattissima Plus, Pixie, Essenza, Maestria, U, Inissia.  There has been a lot of press recently regarding the latest Nespresso® machines the Pixie, U & Inissia and their redesigned blades.  As our capsules do not rely on penetration by the blades, this is of no significance to our product for which our capsules works flawlessly.

No, our capsules are very specific and only compatible with the Nespresso® capsule system machines.

Yes, the warranty on your machine is not dependent on the capsules used in the machine and should be honoured by the manufacturer.  If in doubt, refer to the manufacturer’s warranty information that was supplied with your machine.

No, our capsules have been specially developed for use with the Nespresso® system & are made of a flexible, yielding plastic material.  Tests show that our capsules do not damage your machine in any way.

Our capsule has a perforated base and so to protect the coffee form the environment, they are individually sealed in a relatively oxygen-free environment.  This wrapper ensures the product flavour & aroma is maintained for the period of its shelf life.

In its individual unopened wrapper, we recommend that you use the capsule within 24 months of its manufacture date to ensure you experience the full flavour & aroma of the freshly roasted & ground premium coffee beans.

Our capsules are imported from Italy while the sealing foil comes from Austria.  The coffee used in the capsules can come from a variety of locations around the world however the packaging is entirely done in Australia.

Roasting, grinding and packing takes place in a climate-controlled environment.  During the encapsulation process, the coffee and machinery is nitrogen flushed to remove most of the oxygen from the atmosphere.  Additionally, the protective wrapper ensures the freshness of your coffee capsule in a relatively oxygen free environment ensuring perfect coffee every time.

Good water quality is essential for a good coffee.  While tap water varies from state to state and from season to season, we recommend the use filtered water for best results.

Yes, this is quite normal. Our capsules are made from a food-grade plastic.  While our capsules are compliant, they are not as compliant as the aluminium capsules used elsewhere and so closing the lever of the machine may require additional effort.  This should not damage your machine.

Yes, this is normal, and is not a sign of any damage to the machine. We aim to get a longer extraction time in order to release all the flavours & aromas of the coffee.  At the end of the extraction cycle, pressure within the capsule may cause a few drops of coffee to fall after the cycle has finished.

Yes, that is completely normal. Our capsules by design do extract slower than other capsules. This slower extraction ensures maximum flavour, aroma and crema on your coffee to provide the very best experience from your coffee

Capsules should be ejected after the coffee machine finishes it dispensing cycle.  Sometimes people forget and so the capsule may contract & expand with cooling & heating of the machine & become lodged in the barrel.  Should this happen, we suggest you refer to your user manual for instructions if this happens.

The capsules expand when they are introduced to hot water under high pressure. In rare cases, this can lead to separation of the aluminium foil lid. Please check for visible residue on the filter plate and remove it. We recommend that you purge the coffee machine before making the next cup of coffee.

If this happens again, we suggest you have your machine serviced.

You may simply use the same capsule again. For best results, place the capsule in the capsule holder slowly and at a slight angle, then close the lever.

Different machines have different troubleshooting methods.  It is best to refer to the machines user manual.

Our coffee is very finely ground. Occasionally a few of the very finest particles of coffee may get past the filter plate and extract along with the coffee into the cup.  As coffee is a natural product, this will not affect your health.  Purging the machine between uses is a good way of ensuring any leftover coffee grounds may be flushed out of the machine.

Follow the manufacturer’s guide for servicing, cleaning and maintaining the machine.  Depending on your location and water quality, descaling is recommended to ensure optimum operation of your machine.

To get the best possible extraction, we recommend that you purge your machine to pre-heat your cup before making a coffee. This can be done in one easy step by running hot water from your machine into your cup without inserting a capsule. Pour out the hot water & proceed to make your espresso.
This does a few things that will enhance the taste of your coffee:
– heats the cup
– warms up the coffee machine to an optimum temperature for brewing
– clears the machine of any buildup of old water in the system.

Our capsules & coffee have been developed to deliver a true, classic espresso. To enjoy a real espresso, it is advisable to extract a 25ml shot of coffee. The extraction time may vary from machine to machine.  You can extend this to a 40ml shot, but the balance of flavour and intensity will be different.

For best results, you should fill a cup with as much hot water as you desire & then extract a capsule into the hot water as normal. You may wish to extract 2 capsules for more flavor & intensity.

Use two capsules one after the other to ensure the balance of flavour. We advise you not to simply use the same capsule twice as this will adversely affect flavour & intensity.

Our capsules are produced from fully recyclable aluminium & polypropylene and so can be placed in your plastics recycling bin.
