What makes coffee capsules particularly good?
The main advantages of coffee capsules are their convenience, consistency and variety. They allow you to enjoy a variety of coffees and styles with minimal preparation and no specialised skills or equipment.
What do I need to consider when choosing coffee capsules?
When choosing coffee capsules, you should consider compatibility with your machine, preferred coffee type (e.g. espresso, café crème), intensity and flavour. Also pay attention to the quality of the coffee and the sustainability of the capsules.
Are coffee capsules sustainable?
The sustainability of coffee capsules is a complex issue. Some manufacturers offer recyclable or compostable capsules, but in general capsules generate more waste than other coffee preparation methods. It's important to choose brands that are committed to environmental sustainability.
What is the difference between E.S.E. pods and capsule systems?
E.S.E. pods are a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional capsule systems. They are easier to use, do not require specialised machines and produce less waste. E.S.E. pods offer similar quality and convenience to capsules, but are generally more open to different types of machines and easier to dispose of.
