Which Espresso Machine is the Best? Capsule, Pod or Fresh Coffee Powder? 

To make the experience of enjoying a great cup of coffee easier, and saving you lots of time – a good working espresso machine is the best option to go ahead with. The espresso machines have an advanced brewing process and handy accessories. They save you the trouble of scooping coffee powder from a tin and putting it into your espresso coffee maker.

At Gimoka Coffee, the prepackaged, pre-portioned pods and capsules available are compatible with all the coffee machines that use the Easy Serving Espresso (E.S.E.) standards.

COFFEE PODS

Coffee pods are serving of roasted and ground coffee powder placed in between two circular pieces of filter paper. Most espresso machines accept these pods. You no more have to scoop powder into the filter basket. Instead, you have to place the coffee pod in a smaller filter sieve. 

COFFEE CAPSULES

Coffee capsules are small containers made up of aluminum or plastic and contain a single serving of coffee powder. To preserve the freshness, they are nitrogen flushed. Special capsule espresso machines are required to use such type of capsules. They are both convenient and consistent to use. 

At Gimoka Coffee, the lavazza blue capsules are compatible with all Lavazza Blue®* coffee makers. Each capsule contains 9gr of coffee roasted by Gimoka coffee artisans according to the best Italian tradition. The capsule is nitrogen flushed and fully self protected to preserve the aroma and freshness in every cup.

We follow the three F rules diligently – Freshly roasted, freshly ground and freshly brewed

The coffee experience is the same as that of fresh powder.

Above all, the best coffee experience is still attributed to freshly roasted and ground coffee beans.
