COMPATIBLE CAPSULES: WHAT THEY ARE AND WHY THEY ARE CONVENIENT

Capsule or pod coffee machines are extremely popular both at home and in the office mainly for their practicality and for the speed with which anyone can prepare a quality hot drink (coffee or other) in a few moments. Nespresso, Lavazza A Modo Mio and Dolce Gusto are certainly the most used systems in the family and for each it is possible to choose between the original capsules (produced by their respective manufacturers) or compatible ones (produced by third-party companies not connected to their respective brands) which guarantee a perfect functioning on the original machines.

So the question is: what kind of capsules should I buy? Original or compatible capsules?

The original capsules are those produced by the same company that makes your coffee machine. The compatible ones, on the other hand, are capsules made by independent companies. To date, compatible coffee and beverage capsules guarantee perfect compatibility (the days when compatible capsules worked little and badly) with the different systems and generally have a lower cost (from 30 to 50% on average) and in some cases offer a range of products that is superior in variety to what is offered by the original producers. For their part, the original products have been specially designed and manufactured by the manufacturer and enjoy the brand’s coat of arms.

The choice will therefore be made on the basis of your personal preferences, your taste, the desired price target and clearly based on the type of machine you have. In any case, it is certainly important to compare the original products and the compatible ones to evaluate which of the two best meets your quality and spending needs.

Compatible coffee capsules: why choose them?

For what reasons should you buy compatible capsules rather than original capsules?

• Compatible capsules are generally cheaper than the original ones;
• You can find compatible capsules of many brands;
• Compatible capsules generally have a wider choice and sometimes offer drinks not available in the original proposal;
• Compatible capsules are now available for almost all domestic systems and are fully functional.

What is the best place to buy compatible capsules?

• The supermarkets;
• Online e-commerce that generally offer a wide choice and a particularly attractive price and guarantee home delivery;
• The specialized shops, increasingly widespread in our country, which represent an excellent compromise between the 2 sales channels mentioned above because they guarantee a wide choice, excellent skills and often competitive prices with immediate availability. Also consider that practically everyone is now equipped to deliver home orders within the day, at least locally.
