GOURMESSO.COM COFFEE CAPSULES FAQ - COMPATIBLE WITH NESPRESSO ORIGINAL MACHINES

Here you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our coffee capsules for Nespresso Original and Keurig KCup machines.

How Many Capsules Come In 1 Box?

That completely depends on each individual brand (and is also stated on each product listing in its description and/or title). But see here for a short overview:

Do Our Capsules Really Fit My Nespresso Machine?

Yes. Our coffee capsules fit in the majority of current Nespresso Original machines (formerly know as Original machines) and they will not damage your machine. If you encounter any unexpected problems when using our Nespresso compatible capsule brands (see above), please contact us.

What Are Our Capsules Made With?

Our capsules are made from a soft plastic that ensures that your machine's closing mechanism is not damaged. The capsules are sealed using an aluminum-like material, similar to that of Nespresso brand capsules. The plastic used in our capsules is BPA free.

Glorybrew pods for Nespresso are made with bio-based paper material that disintegrates in over 12 weeks in industrial composting facilities. 

Glorybrew capsules are made with BPI certified bio-based materials. The majority of the pods are made with bio-based mesh that will break down in over 12 weeks in industrial composting facilities. 

My Nespresso Machine Is Harder To Close Than Usual – Is That Normal?

It depends :). The closing mechanism of some machines might be a little more difficult to close when using plastic-based coffee capsules. Check that the capsule is inserted into the appliance correctly, and use slightly more pressure when closing. The Gourmesso and Barista Moments capsules are made of a special plastic that yields easily, so they will not damage your machine. The aluminum lines (Artuzzi and Nite Edition for example) close as conveniently as the original pods from Nespresso. 

 

What Does The Intensity Number On Our Capsules Mean?

Each brand incorporates intensity numbers (3 to 12) which refer to the degree of the roast and the taste and flavor of each blend variety. The aroma and taste generally develops and gets finetuned when the coffee is roasted. Also, while roasting, the coffee changes in appearance and various aromas develop. The longer the coffee is roasted, the more intense the aroma becomes. The beans are also very finely ground to boost the characteristics created by the roasting process thus producing an even more intense flavor. Our intensity numbers follow the same scale as the original capsules for Nespresso machines.

How Exactly Do I Save More Than 40%?

Simple! Some of our blends already start at $0.39 per capsule while an original capsule from Nespresso costs $0.70 or even more! Therefore, you save more than 40% with Gourmesso.

How Is Our Coffee Decaffeinated?

No. Our flavored capsules are made with aromas and no sugar or dairy is ever added.

How Long Is The Shelf Life Of Our Coffee?
