Frequently Asked Questions
What is Capsul'in? 
French produced Capsul'in is Europe's first and number one brand of empty coffee capsules compatible with all Nespresso® machines. 

Is Capsul'in associated with Nespresso®? 
No. Capsul'in is not associated with Nestle or Nespresso. Capsul'in is a unique model registered at the European Office for Harmonization under number 18290405. The Nespresso® Trademark belongs to a third party and is in no way associated with Equity Holding S.A. (the owners of Capsul'in). 

Where is Capsul'in manufactured? 
Capsul'in products are manufactured in France in accordance with EU quality standards. 

How does the empty coffee capsule work? 
Fill the empty capsules with the espresso coffee blend of your choice, apply the self-adhesive foil seal, and then insert the capsule into your Nespresso machine. 

Do I get the same result as with a Nespresso® capsule? 
Yes - If you want to, do the following test: open an original Nespresso® capsule and place its coffee content into an empty capsule - You will not be able to taste the difference. When you choose your preferred espresso blend, you will get a perfect espresso with the right "crema" as with a Nespresso® capsule. 

How long does it take to prepare an empty capsule? 
About the time it takes your Nespresso® machine to warm up - 10 to 15 seconds. It is fast and simple: fill the empty capsule with freshly ground espresso coffee, tamp lightly. Apply the auto-adhesive foil. 

Is My Coffee Capsule compatible with my new Nespresso® Pixie? 
Yes, our capsules are compatible with all Nespresso® machines including the Pixie. 

Does the use of an empty capsule void the warranty on my Nespresso machine? 
No. 

How many capsules can I make with 250 grams of espresso coffee? 
You can make up to 50 capsules using 5 grams of coffee per capsule. 

How fine should my coffee be ground? 
For best results, request an "espresso ground", meaning ground at a middle grade. For most professional grinders, it corresponds to the grade 3/4. If you have your own grinder, do not hesitate to make your own tests using the texture of the Nespresso coffee as your guide. With the perfect grind, you can press the coffee inside the capsule (for a stronger taste) and your espresso will turn out perfectly. Store your espresso coffee in a large dry-storage coffee container, so it is easier to fill Capsul'in with coffee. 

Can I prepare my capsules in advance? For my weekly consumption for instance... 
Yes you can! Make sure that the auto-adhesive aluminium foil adheres well to the border of the capsule: Press hard on the circumference of the aluminium foil, or turn the capsule upside down and press the foil against the table. Store the pre-filled capsule in your fridge. 

What are the advantages of Capsul'in? 
Capsul'in is an empty capsule...full of qualities! An Eco-friendly alternative: Capsul'in is made of recyclable plastic. So if you are looking for a greener capsule, Capsul'in is the perfect alternative. Unlimited choice of coffee: by buying your espresso coffee from your local coffee retailers or your online coffee retailer, you have access to many different espresso coffees. You can use your favourite brand, buy Fair-trade, organic, single origin... By having the choice, you also decide on the final price of your espresso! Freshness: if you want the freshest coffee, again Capsul'in is the solution. You can fresh grind your own blend of coffee and use the Capsul'in in your Nespresso® machine. The freshness and the convenience of the Nespresso brewer are fantastic. 

What should I do with my capsules after use? 
Just drop them in your household rubbish like any other recyclable plastic.
