Pacific Coffee Launches Capsule Coffee Machine in China

If you’ve ever wanted café-quality drinks at home without the mess of a full coffee setup, Pacific Coffee now offers a streamlined solution. The coffee chain recently launched its first proprietary capsule coffee machine and matching beverage capsules in mainland China, giving customers a simple way to brew everything from espresso to hot chocolate with minimal effort.

In short: The new Pacific Coffee capsule machine sells for RMB2680 and works with 9 different beverage capsules (RMB88 per box of 16), including coffee, tea, milk, and chocolate options. The machine features 19-bar pressure, auto-eject, and height-adjusting cup support—all in a compact design.

What Is the New Pacific Coffee Capsule Machine?

Pacific Coffee’s new capsule machine is the brand’s first in-house designed model, developed with German engineering. It measures just 150W x 378D x 297H mm, making it compact enough for both kitchen counters and office desks. Available in red, cream white, black, and silver, the machine has a sleek, minimalist interface with smooth lines and easy touch buttons. It operates at 19-bar pressure, includes auto capsule ejection, and automatically adjusts for cup height—so you can make a variety of drinks in just two steps. The suggested retail price is RMB2680.

What Beverage Capsules Are Included in the Lineup?

The machine works with a set of nine beverage capsules, each made with Pacific Coffee’s most popular ingredients. Options include:

• Colombian Supremo (coffee)
• Espresso Blend (coffee)
• Breakfast Blend (coffee)
• Black Tea (tea)
• Lemon Green Tea (tea)
• Camomile Tea (tea)
• Peppermint Tea (tea)
• Milk (dairy)
• Chocolate (chocolate)

These capsules aren’t limited to single drinks—you can mix and match for custom beverages like mochas, lattes, or even chai-style tea lattes. Each capsule is filled with premium coffee beans, tea leaves, milk, or chocolate, all sealed to preserve freshness. The coffee beans are freshly roasted, ground, and hermetically packed to lock in aroma, which is released under high-pressure hot water for a smooth texture. Each box contains 16 capsules and costs RMB88.

What Special Offers Are Available at Launch?

Until December 31, 2012, customers who purchase the capsule machine at any Pacific Coffee location in mainland China receive an exclusive launch bundle. This includes 20 K-fee capsules (4 flavours, 5 of each) for free, plus an 85% discount on additional PCC-brand capsules. That makes it easier—and more affordable—to start experimenting with different drink combinations right away.
