Capsules for coffee machine

Of course, there are differences between machines manufactured by Nespresso, Krups, Bosh or Delonghi brands, but they lie in the pre-infusion stages, types of cappuccino makers, etc. And in this case they are insignificant.

Features of capsule machines

That is why there is a single list of rules for using capsule coffee machines, which is suitable for all models:

• Each coffee capsule can only be used once. Currently, the modern world offers reusable capsules, telling consumers about the possibility of saving. Thus, it turns out that the consumer brews simple coffee in a capsule coffee machine, while the coffee powder is not stored in vacuum packaging and during the storage period partially loses its taste characteristics. As a result, the use of reusable capsules makes little sense, and disposable capsules are not suitable for a second use. If you try to use the capsule a second time and make your own drink, it will turn out tasteless.
• There is no need to “help” the capsule coffee machine; it is fully automated. You will need to insert the capsule, select the required volume of the drink and press the start button. The preparation time for coffee on Nespresso, Krups, Bosh or Delonghi coffee machines is almost the same and averages 30 seconds.
• The water tank must be at least half full. The capsule coffee machine will independently measure the required amount of water for one serving.

Important: do not turn on the capsule coffee machine if the volume of liquid in the reservoir is 1 cup or less. This way you can break it.
