Once and for all we will try to coherently analyze the opportunity to save money and protect the environment from the use of refillable or recycled plastic coffee capsules.
Here are a number of ways to refill the capsules yourself:
Process for refillable capsules
The operation relating to the use of refillable coffee capsules takes place according to this scheme
Search for empty capsules compatible with the work used by your own machine (only for some systems there are refillable capsules)
- Purchase large quantities of capsules and filters to avoid shipping costs
- Purchase of ground coffee suitable for dispensing through capsules.
- Preparation every time you want to dispense coffee (impossible to keep the freshness of the coffee once the package has been opened)
- use the capsule coffee machine (sometimes high pressure) risking the opening of the capsule which is not hermetically sealed and consequent jamming of the machine
- Disappointing final result compared to savings for home preparation
Other solutions that are found on the net even with video tutorials are those where it is advisable to recover the used capsule (be careful of burns if taken from the drawer as soon as dispensing is finished) following the step-by-step guide.
Process for recycled capsules
This is the procedure for using recycled capsules
- To begin with, collect the used pod from the collection tray
- Open the top of the capsule using a small knife.
- Empty the capsule with a teaspoon
- Thoroughly wash the capsule and let it dry.
- Fill up to the brim with coffee powder.
- Cover the wafer with aluminum foil, making sure it adheres to the edges.
- Insert into the machine and start dispensing
The first advice is to use safe food products, with levels of industrial control and guarantees regarding the procedures of use, fortunately the widespread consumption of coffee capsules has meant that the price of this convenient product has dropped considerably and that the coffee pods , once used by a few roasters, became widely marketed by all roasters.
Today it is possible, using i specialized online shops, buy original pods or compatible capsules for all systems and of all brand names. If we have to drink a coffee, it is better if it is good and with safe dispensing compared to do-it-yourself coffee which is perhaps not so suitable for the concept of dispensing through capsule coffee machines
At this point we would like to indicate the packaged product, correctly stored and tested to be used in native machines as the best solution for enjoying a quality espresso coffee like that of the bar; Alternatively for a homemade product and traditional you can always resort to the timeless Moka coffee maker inevitable in the kitchens of grandmothers.
