Approaching Coffee capsule: the first choice for homemade coffee in the world

Because of its simple operation and easy to be the preferred equipment for homemade coffee at home and office, the capsule coffee machine was popular in Europe and America earlier, but it has been widely popular in China in recent years. Its bright and simple appearance and simple mode of operation make it quickly become the new favorite of fashionable people.

A semi-automatic coffee machine makes the storage of coffee beans the biggest problem, once unsealed, the freshness of coffee powder begins to be greatly reduced, while the fully automatic coffee machine has greatly improved the storage of coffee beans, but it can not fundamentally solve the problem. The advent of the capsule coffee machine not only reduces the high price of the coffee machine, but also solves the problem of freshness of coffee storage.

In the face of this small capsule, do you really know it?

Coffee capsules are divided into two categories: hard capsules and soft capsules, which can be easily distinguished from their appearance and material.

The hard capsule is made of food-grade plastic, the texture is hard, it is not easy to be damaged, it is cylindrical, there are high-quality filters on the upper and lower layers of the capsule, and the capsule itself does not have the function of keeping fresh, so it puts a lot of effort on the outer package. a nitrogen soft bag with high usage is used. This kind of capsule has been implemented since 1976 and has a very high degree of freshness and food safety weight. It is widely favored by many famous brands, such as Illy, Silvestre and Lavazaa point. The seemingly simple internal structure, from the selection and design of materials, has extremely high requirements in the selection of packaging materials and nitrogen content.

Take the Silvestre coffee hard capsule from Brazil as an example, the brand advocates preserving the natural and pure taste of coffee, the coffee powder content is higher than the industry standard, and there are four flavors to choose from. It has been widely praised in the domestic market because of the patented design of its capsule and the taste of the coffee itself.

The industry standard of the coffee powder content of the capsule is about 6 grams. The civilian price and high quality coffee are sought after by many coffee lovers. The editor reminds you to choose hard capsules, please choose brand capsules with no less than 6 grams of coffee powder to ensure the quality of coffee.

Soft capsules are divided into aluminum materials and food-grade soft plastic materials. Aluminum itself has the function of keeping fresh and sealing, and its internal structure is similar to that of hard capsules. High-quality filter paper is used to effectively absorb moisture to prevent deterioration and improve the fresh-keeping life of coffee. Aluminum capsules are in full contact with the ambient air, which ensures the quality of coffee powder, but ignores the hygienic requirements of coffee extraction. The aluminum material has also greatly increased the manufacturing cost, resulting in aluminum capsules gradually labeled as high consumption.

In recent years, due to the global shortage of raw materials and rising raw material prices, the manufacturing cost of aluminum capsules has been rising again and again, resulting in low coffee powder content in aluminum capsules. Many big brand capsules have long abandoned the coffee powder content standard of not less than 8 grams. The coffee powder content of these aluminum brand capsules is only 5 grams, and it is impossible to extract 8 grams of extracted alcohol that meets the industry standard. The editor reminds you that to buy this kind of capsule, please choose coffee capsule with no less than 8 grams of coffee powder.

Although soft capsules made of food-grade soft plastics also reduce manufacturing costs and solve the problem of higher soft capsule prices, they ignore the storage problem of soft capsules, so that many consumers who have purchased soft capsule coffee machines have to abandon their coffee machines and switch to hard capsule coffee machines.

Compared with the hard capsule coffee machine, the soft capsule coffee machine is relatively limited because of its incompatibility, which greatly reduces the satisfaction of users. Due to the hard capsule compatibility of the hard capsule coffee machine, the user's choice of coffee capsule has been greatly improved, which has gradually become a popular choice of the capsule coffee machine.

Take Lavazza BLUE in Italy as an example, food-grade soft plastic material as the capsule shell, no nitrogen packaging, resulting in air through the bottom of the hole into the capsule, due to the lack of effective high-quality filter paper protection, easy to lead to wet deterioration of coffee powder, simple packaging, can not guarantee the taste and quality of coffee.
