Capsule storage

After the roasted coffee beans are ground into powder, the flavor will probably disappear in about 15 minutes, and all the capsules have been specially treated in order to lock in the taste of the coffee. Some manufacturers directly fill the capsule with inert gas, while others set up plastic packaging outside the capsule and then fill it with inert gas. Although the flavor of the capsule coffee will be lost after a long time, it is much better than expected.

Selection of capsule Coffee Machine

Now there are many capsule coffee machines on the market, many people will judge the quality directly through the brand to choose, in fact, it is more important to find out their own needs, according to the taste to choose whether to have a milk system, and then specific selection of products.

Without a milk system

❷ with milk system

For coffee is more "fraternity" friends can choose the capsule coffee machine with milk system, this kind of machine can not only do Espresso, but also can make cappuccino, latte, and some can even make cocoa and tea drinks, it is precisely because of this, some people think that this is a beverage machine, does not belong to the category of coffee machine.

For this kind of machine, you can choose according to the frequency of your needs for milk bubbles. If you do not often use milk bubbles, then the preferred split milk system is to include milk foam machines, but you need to add milk manually and inject milk bubbles manually. Illy family of this alien is a good choice, not only lovely appearance, performance is also very good, 15bar pressure, 50 seconds preheat, do not need to worry about the milk system when automatically scanning heating milk box problem, only a steam nozzle, use and then press the button to preheat. And the coffee outlet is an external handle, which is very convenient to clean.

Another cut-in angle is to enlarge the market

In 2006, Nestl é launched a new series of Nescafe Dolce Gusto products, which are also paired with coffee machines and coffee capsules, but this series, in contrast to Nespresso's high-end boutique image, is in turn more close to consumers. This series of products can not only make coffee, but also hot chocolate, milk tea and other drinks.

Compared with Nespresso's single coffee line of different beans, Nespresso is aimed at heavy coffee addicts who love espresso, while Dolce Gusto is aimed at lighter coffee lovers and home users. You may want a hot latte in the morning, but you may want an iced cappuccino in the afternoon and a hot American coffee in the evening.
