How do E.S.E. pods work?

The way E.S.E. pods work differs from other pods for making coffee. They have been specially developed for use in a portafilter. The water is pressed through the small E.S.E. pods at a pressure of around 10 to 12 bar to prepare the espresso. This pressure and the precise dosage ensure an intense and delicious espresso.

What do I need to consider when choosing E.S.E. pods?

The variety of E.S.E. pods allows you to discover different types of coffee and flavours. From strong espresso to mild café crème, the choice is huge. You can choose the type of coffee to suit your preferences and mood and indulge your senses.

Why E.S.E. pods for making coffee?

E.S.E. pods offer numerous advantages for coffee lovers. They are a cost-effective alternative to capsules or pods from other systems. Although the machines that use E.S.E. pods may be slightly more expensive, they save you the purchase of a complete portafilter machine, grinder and other accessories. This makes them an economical choice for high-quality coffee enjoyment.

What makes E.S.E. pods particularly good?

E.S.E. pods are characterised by their precision and quality. The standardised amount of espresso powder, the perfect grind and the filter paper, which consists exclusively of coffee and filter paper, guarantee barista quality in every cup. These single portions allow you to try different types and brands of coffee without compromising on quality.

Are E.S.E. coffee pods sustainable?

Yes, E.S.E. pods are an environmentally friendly choice. They are made from filter paper and espresso powder, which makes them a sustainable option. Compared to capsules, which are often made of plastic or aluminium, E.S.E. pods have a better carbon footprint. They use less packaging material per serving and are 100% compostable. Some roasting companies even do away with aluminium completely, which further strengthens the environmentally friendly trend.

Are coffee pods all the same?

Yes, coffee pods are standardised, regardless of the manufacturer. This means that you can use coffee pods from different brands in your pod machine without any restrictions on compatibility.

What is the difference between E.S.E. and capsule systems?

E.S.E. pods focus on practicality and sustainability. They are made from filter paper and espresso powder and are therefore easier to compost and more environmentally friendly than capsules made from plastic and aluminium. While capsule systems often use more elaborate packaging and materials, E.S.E. pods focus on quality and environmental awareness.

The E.S.E. system offers you the opportunity to enjoy high-quality espresso and coffee without harming the environment. It is the ideal choice for anyone who appreciates coffee quality and wants to promote sustainability at the same time.
