FrequentlyAskedQuestions
What type of machines are the ESE pods compatible with?
The ESE pods are compatible with any ESE Machine, including our Tube Luxe & Pallina Machines. ESE stands for Easy Serve Espresso, created in Italy in 1970.
Are ESE Pods Compatible with Nespresso Capsule Machines?
In short, no. Nespresso machines mainly use plastic & aluminium capsules.
Is the tin environmentally friendly?
Yes! Aluminium in Australia is recycled super quickly, just place the tin in your recycle bin. Otherwise, the tin can also be used for storage of other pantry items as the lid is a twist top.
How do I make a double espresso with the easy espresso pod?
Just simply use two of the pods for double the goodness (not at the same time). We don’t recommend trying to get two shots out of one pod, as it may effect the quality of the coffee.
What kind of water should I use?
We recommend filtered water in the back of the unit if possible. If not, clean tap water is preferable.
How much coffee is in the pods?
Each ESE pod contains 7 grams of expertly roasted coffee.
What is the decaf process?
We use the swiss water process – for more info on this head to www.swisswater.com/our-process
How long do the pods stay fresh after you crack the tin?
The tin size is designed to maximise freshness for the average coffee drinker, with 20 pods in each.
How do I dispose of my pods?
The pod can be placed in a compost bin to break down or put in general waste, easy!
