5. What are
the Coffee Pods made out of?
Our coffee pods are made out of 304 stainless steel so they are truly infinitely reusable.
6. Won’t a stainless steel capsule damage the machine?
No, hundreds of tests have been done and the pressure points of the machine do not receive any excessive force.
7. The machine pierces through the classic Nespresso capsules, how do your coffee pods not get damaged?
Our coffee pod is slightly shorter than the classic capsules and is shaped so the machine does not have to pierce it. It has a specially designed filter on the inside of the lid to let the water pass through without any trouble.
8. How long do they last?
If you take care of them and wash them after each use, they can last for 5+ years.
9. Will my machine lose its warranty if i use your Pods?
Absolutely not. Using our capsule is the same as using any other compatible capsule from different brands, e.g. Lavazza® or L’Or®. The only difference is that our capsule doesn't create any waste plastic/aluminium and saves you money.
10. Does the pod get hot after each use?
The pod gets super hot after each use, so you might have to wait for a minute or two before taking it out of the machine with your hand. If you want you can use a tool to take it out and place it under water to speed up the cooling process. If you plan on making coffees for friends and family as well then we recommend getting a pack with 2/3 capsules so you can use one after the other.
11. I have the Nespresso Vertuo, why won't my machine recognise my pod?
Simply half open and close the machine. Open the machine as you would normally, as the mechanism opens at halfway, tap the machine to close (the machine will close automatically) it should then identify the pod you have in the pod tray, repeat this until it identifies the pod.
12. How often I need to descale/clean my machine?
On average, you should descale once every 3 months. This prevents a large amount of scale formation in your machine. Keeping your machine clean keeps it in good condition and extends its lifespan
