Capsule machines are a great alternative to automatic espresso machines. They bring together all the advantages of a fully automated system for a fast coffee preparation process.
Advantages
- Capsule machines simplify the entire coffee-making process, eliminating the grinding, pressing, and storage of coffee.
- These small hermetically sealed containers, coffee capsules, guarantee the freshness of the coffee for up to 6 months.
- The coffee in the capsule is ground to perfection and sealed at optimal pressure.
- To make a fresh coffee, all you have to do is place the capsule in the machine, press a button and wait for the machine to do all the work.
- Being a simpler version of traditional coffee makers, these are usually much smaller. This means you don’t have to worry about whether it will fit in your kitchen, as they make the most of the limited space available in today’s homes.
- It also saves you having to deal with the waste from your coffee grounds, since it’s all contained in the coffee pod. All you have to do is dispose of the empty capsules.
Disadvantages
- Although single-serve machines are smaller than traditional espresso machines, this is not reflected in the price, as they generally cost the same.
- Single-dose machines can only be used with the capsules offered by the same manufacturer, that is, coffee capsules made for one machine cannot be used in a different one. For example, Nespresso capsules can only be used with Nespresso machines.
- Therefore, you need to make sure in advance that you like the type of coffee that the manufacturer of your machine offers.
- Buying the capsules is generally quite expensive.
Coffee capsule machines are the most suitable for…
- … small offices with limited space and limited time to shop and make coffee.
- … houses for 1-3 people.
- … anyone who can afford to buy coffee pods and who benefits from the unique features of these machines.
