How to choose capsule's coffee?
Capsules are becoming more and more popular, and this is not surprising. After all, the use of capsules is as convenient as possible, coffee is made from a capsule format and is very aromatic. In addition, this packaging format makes it possible to enjoy a huge variety of flavors. We reveal professional secrets of how to choose coffee capsules correctly. ⠀
1. Pay attention to the fortress
Some capsules contain a small dose of caffeine, while others, on the contrary, are quite strong. Therefore, think about which option you like best. If you prefer more delicate blends, choose capsules with 100% Arabica, and if your goal is to get a strong tonic effect, look for a blend of Arabica and Robusta. The higher the content of the latter, the more the coffee invigorates.
There are also decaf capsules available. All their taste is preserved, but there is no pronounced toning effect. This coffee is ideal for the afternoon.
2. Think about taste
Do you like the taste and aroma? As a rule, Arabica gives a slight sourness, and Robusta gives bitterness. Certain blends may be more delicate, while others may be richer. It is important to understand that the intensity of the flavor is not the same as the strength of the beverage. Coffee can be moderately dense, but at the same time have a tangible, bright taste.
Pay attention to the notes of the scent. Usually the manufacturer indicates them on the packaging. These can be shades of walnut, flowers, honey, chocolate, or even smoke. Trying something completely new or choosing a proven classic - it all depends on you. So, in Coffice, you can combine assortments of completely different tastes in one order in order to choose coffee for your mood every day.
3. Remember the capsule format
Typically, each manufacturer has their own capsule format for coffee machines. But this does not mean that the choice is limited. There are dozens of capsules for every coffee machine, and it will take more than one week to try each option at least once. And also, some brands meet customers halfway and release coffee in new formats. For example, Lavazza produces a line of capsules compatible with Nespresso machines, and the renowned Julius Meinl brand offers capsules in the Lavazza Blue format.
4. Pay attention to the quality of raw materials
The most important thing about capsule coffee is coffee. That is why it is important to pay attention to the composition. As a rule, large coffee brands have their own capsule lines, and the raw materials in them are the same as in the bulk product. Therefore, you can not worry about quality, because the most important thing for a company is reputation, and standards are monitored very closely. Pay attention to the origin of the grain. If a brand speaks openly about which region the coffee comes from, how it is roasted, then this is a good sign.
5. Check the price and origin
Unfortunately, there are unscrupulous sellers who sell not original capsules, but a fake. Do not hesitate to ask if the product is officially purchased from the manufacturer, and also pay attention to the price. If it is significantly below average, it may indicate deception. Such "fake" capsules can be made from hazardous plastic or contain coffee of unknown origin. We at Coffice are fighting this problem and cooperate with brands only directly, for example, we are an official partner of Lavazza
