Reusable capsules for coffee machines: Dolce Gusto, Nespresso, Tassimo

Capsule coffee machines have long and reliably taken their place in the kitchens of coffee lovers. Such devices are usually charged with branded capsules. Conventional foil capsules contain compressed coffee, each serving of which is perfectly calibrated. The drink obtained from ordinary capsules is truly tasty and balanced.

However, coffee capsules are expensive. Some people search the Internet for advice on how to refill capsules at home and reuse them. This is quite risky, because an incorrectly filled capsule can damage the coffee machine.

It is much easier and safer to use rechargeable capsules. Each coffee machine manufacturer creates its own capsules: Dolce Gusto reusable capsules are suitable for Krups machines. Lavazza, Espresso, and Nespresso coffee machines have their own capsules.

A reusable capsule is a small container shaped like a glass, with a lid and a filter at the bottom.

There are several types of capsules:

• By price: expensive - usually branded - and cheap - analogues sold on Chinese sites;
• By material: metal (usually steel) and plastic (more affordable than steel).

Operating principle of a capsule coffee machine

Before you start choosing a capsule for your coffee machine, it is important to understand the principle of its operation. At the initial stage, the coffee beans are roasted, after which they undergo a thorough grinding process, and after that they are hermetically packaged in special capsule containers designed for a specific brand of coffee machine.

Coffee capsules

During operation of the machine, ground coffee is combined with water and emulsification occurs. It should be noted that the capsules are hermetically packaged, preventing the aroma of ground coffee from escaping. This solution also guarantees a long shelf life and preservation of all the aromatic and taste qualities of the drink.

At the end of the coffee machine operation, the disposable capsule is moved to a special compartment from which it must be removed and disposed of (for disposable containers). Reusable capsules for the Dolce Gusto coffee machine, or other models of coffee equipment. It should be removed from the device, rinsed thoroughly and dried, only then can the capsule be reused.

Advantages and disadvantages

In favor of reusable capsules

• The main advantage is the cost compared to conventional capsules. For thrifty coffee lovers, it is more profitable to buy a rechargeable container than to purchase disposable ones.
• The ability to create your own coffee (and not only!) “bouquets”: in reusable Dolce Gusto capsules, the consumer himself lays the basis for the future drink, that is, you can put not only coffee, but also tea, cocoa or herbal infusion into empty capsules.

Cons of reusable capsules

1. risk for the coffee machine: the dense membrane of such capsules breaks the piercing needle, designed to work with the thin foil coating of a regular capsule.
2. They only fit “their” cars: sometimes finding the right option is quite difficult. Reusable capsules are not sold in all stores.
3. but the main drawback of reusable capsules is the unbalanced taste. These capsules are not airtight. The coffee inside them is poorly compressed, so the drink often turns out liquid and not aromatic enough. If you pack coffee into the capsule as tightly as possible, then there is a high probability that water will not get inside, which means you will not be able to enjoy wonderful coffee again.

Capsule coffee is the perfect balance achieved using proven technologies. Different types of coffee are a harmonious combination of strength, taste and aroma in accordance with the variety and name.

Thus, reusable Dolce Gusto capsules will help you save money compared to regular capsules, but when using them there is a risk of getting tasteless coffee and even damaging the device.
