Dolce Gusto is an umbrella company formed by the union of Nestlé, Krups and Gizeh. It was announced a little less than 10 years ago - in 2006. The main idea of the brand was to provide the middle strata of the population with home machines and coffee with the qualities of a professional product. In addition, the cooking process itself had to be quick and convenient. In this regard, such an innovation as Dolce Gusto capsules, portioned foil containers, was introduced into production.

A little about Dolce Gusto

The philosophy of the Dolce Gusto brand is that the process of brewing coffee, regardless of its type and variety, is regarded as an art. One of the main criteria for preparing a drink is the pressure maintained at a certain level. It is with the help of such an innovation as capsules for the Dolce Gusto coffee machine that it is possible to provide this condition.

The optimal pressure level is considered to be 15 bar, resulting in a cup of quality,fragrant, stylish and invigorating drink. Any coffee made from a Dolce Gusto capsule is a product with an exquisite taste, which until then could only be found in specialized establishments.

Nescafe positions its product on the market as a premium product. Capsules Dolce Gusto, according to the manufacturer, contain the optimal composition and concentration of substances necessary for the preparation of a masterpiece drink. And coffee machines have a stylish and unusual design that immediately catches the eye among other products on store shelves.

Coffee Nescafe Dolce Gusto: capsules

The capsule "Dolce Gusto" for each variety is designed in a special way, allowing you to adjust the pressure. During production, separate technical conditions apply to a certain type of foil containers, since all types of drinks differ in their taste, aroma and saturation. That is why, for example, espresso and cappuccino made from Dolce Gusto capsules will never have the same strength, but will remain true to the traditional recipe.

The principle of action of Dolce Gusto capsules

After the Dolce Gusto capsule is placed in the coffee machine, the subsequent brewing mechanics are hidden from view. It happens as follows:

1. After snapping, the protective membrane cap is pierced with a needle, and the bottom of the capsule with a plastic disk.
2. Heated water at a pressure of 15 bar passes through the capsule.
3. Already ready coffee is served through the spout of the machine to the outside.

Reusable capsules

Foil containers are designed to brew coffee once. To cut costs, the reusable Dolce Gusto capsules were invented. They differ from ordinary ones in that they are made of plastic, and inside they do not have filling in the form of coffee - the product is laid on its own. As well as foil, reusable capsules have built-in filters. The stainless steel from which they are made ensures that coffee is brewed up to several dozen times.

As for the lid and bottom of the plastic container, they are already equipped with holes. User feedback indicates that they have been able to significantly reduce the cost and time to purchase raw materials. In addition, Dolce Gusto reusable capsules can be filled not only with coffee, but also with tea, herbs.
